OverviewUpgrade your embedded audio projects with the WM8960 Stereo Audio Codec HATa compact audio expansion board designed for compatible with Raspberry Pi. Powered by the professional WM8960 audiocodec, this HAT supports both audio playback (output) and audio recording (input), making it a practical solution for bidirectional audio applications such as maker builds, teaching demonstrations, smart hardwareprototypes, and audio device modifications.
Fully integrated audio I/O: The board combines a standard 3.5 mm headphone jack, dual MEMS microphones, and dual-channel speaker terminals on one module. It enables plug-and-play audio capture and stereoplayback without needing additional external sound cards or USB adaptersideal when you want a cleaner, stacked design.
Stereo codec performance: The WM8960 codec provides stereo encode/decode with excellent sampling and audio quality, supporting common embedded audio workflows. It also supports stereo effects such as3D surround (software/driver dependent), suitable for diverse audio processing scenarios.
Visual status feedback: An onboard 0.96 -inch OLED display provides real-time status output, helping you verify operation quickly during setup and debugging.
Easy installation: With a built-in Pi 40-pin female header, this WM8960 audio HAT installs directly onto the GPIO header for straightforward audio expansionno complex soldering or jumper wiring required.
Note: This is a wired audio expansion board (no wireless functions). Software configuration may be required depending on your OS and audio stack. Package Contents1.
