This diminutive sound system has an I2S DAC, amp, mini mono speaker, high-res display, and playback control buttons.

Pirate Audio Speaker is perfect for making a Lilliputian radio, sound effect player, or even as a teeny-weeny games console! The built-in 1W speaker isn't the loudest but it's great fun for lots of projects. The display and playback buttons let you control your audio or sound effects in a jiffy. Use our Pirate Audio software (more info below) to play local audio files (MP3, FLAC, etc) or stream from services like Spotify.

Pirate Audio is a range of all-in-one audio boards for Raspberry Pi, with high-quality digital audio, beautifully-crisp IPS displays for album art, tactile buttons for playback control, and our custom Pirate Audio software and installer to make setting it all up a breeze.

Notes

Note that the installer, linked above, does all of the below for you, but if you're an intrepid hacker then you might need to know this stuff!

  • The DAC can be configured by adding dtoverlay=hifiberry-dac to the /boot/config.txt file.
  • There is a DAC enable pin—BCM 25— that must be driven high to enable the DAC. You can do this by adding gpio=25=op,dh to the /boot/config.txt file.
  • The buttons are active low, and connected to pins BCM 5, 6, 16, and 20
  • The display uses SPI, and you'll need to enable SPI through the Raspberry Pi configuration menu.
  • If you want to use these boards with a Pibow Coupé case (either for the Zero / Zero W or Pi 4), then you'll need to use a booster header to raise it up a little.

NOT puncture proof as advertised
Horrible. I had purchased other EZ squeakers by Pet Lou (veggie series) and they have lasted over a year, the dog LOVED these new ones with the fluffy tail, however they punctured the squeaker within hours and they don't make noise now. VERY disappointed. want to return, but its used.

It was a little too stiff for my dog to be able to get to squeak and the tail hairs came off too easily. This ones gonna be a no for me.

very good quality.
This was the second one we ordered as our Yorkie loves playing with them. It has the noise maker inside and he bites right on it to make it squeak, loves it. Fast shipping, as before, very good quality.

My Poodle loves this !
Squeaker is fun and sturdy ! My 15 lb Poodle loves it. (His favorite toy) The toys material held up about two weeks before the white stuffing started coming out. I would pay a couple dollars more for a better cover. I have purchased several ... they all last about the same .
