The Raspberry Pi SC2079 Codec Zero is an official audio add‑on board designed to provide simple audio input and output capabilities for Raspberry Pi systems without requiring external USB sound cards. It connects directly to the Raspberry Pi GPIO header and exposes analogue audio via standard connectors, making it suitable for basic audio projects and experimentation.
Designed as a low‑profile HAT‑style board, the Codec Zero allows Raspberry Pi users to add sound recording and playback functionality for applications such as audio processing, voice projects and embedded sound use. Its compact footprint makes it suitable for space‑constrained builds while maintaining straightforward integration with compatible Raspberry Pi boards.
The SC2079 is compatible with Raspberry Pi models featuring the 40‑pin GPIO header, including Raspberry Pi 4 and Raspberry Pi 5. As an official Raspberry Pi accessory, it is intended for use in education, prototyping and development environments where simple, board‑mounted audio functionality is required.
Manufactured to Raspberry Pi standards, the Codec Zero offers a convenient and cost‑effective way to add audio support directly to a Raspberry Pi system without additional cabling or external peripherals.
