A feature dropped was the 3.5mm audio out jack. So for audio from the Raspberry Pi 5 you will need it from the HDMI, Bluetooth, or via USB. On the Pi 4 / Pi 400 I have played around with Bluetooth audio, and while there may be some optimization that I missed, my experience was that the audio with games lagged what was happening on screen. For USB, I've played with USB sound cards (giving both audio out and microphone in) with an eye towards video conferencing and found those satisfactory. Also, as long as you don't need high volume, a low end USB speaker (like: https://www.adafruit.com/product/3369 ) works well. Also, I've used a VGA monitor with a Pi 400 using one of these HDMI to VGA adapters that lets you connect conventional speakers, which works well ( https://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=5_3931_4363&item_id=121160&sid=u7t9tdh0opp5utj2bcb3s83t23 ). So, one real but minor disappointment aside, everything else looks good, and I do have a Pi 5 pre-ordered :-) . > --- > Post to this mailing list talk@gtalug.org > Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk --- Post to this mailing list talk@gtalug.org Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
