Review: Add I2S support to microprocessor - The new version of Teensy 4.0 just came out, and I was looking for a way to play some simple sounds. In previous Teensy's the system had a DAC (digital to analog converter) that I could hook up to amplifiers and a speaker to play pre-recorded sounds. Unfortunately, the Teensy 4.0 does not have a DAC, but instead it was I2S support. I was able to quickly add I2S support, hooking up the MakerHawk MAX98357 to the Teensy's I2S pins, and to an Adafruit breadboard speaker. It played well.
Review: Makes all the difference - This DAC was a cheap and brilliant way to improve the audio quality of my esp32 project. It turned awful sound quality with horrible background noise to incredibly clear and enjoyable sound. I personally found lowering the gain to 3db worked best for my project.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is there any software available that will allow me to use this with the Raspberry Pi Pico?**
A: There is software to turn the pico into a usb soundcard. Whereas audio is fed via usb and out to mpio pins as i2s signal. I don’t know if the pico can act as i2s master which this part needs. Short answer is probably, but check the pico usb audio sw documentation to ensure that the pico can generate the proper clock signals.
