Playing audio on the Raspberry Pi

To play an MP3 file, navigate to the location of the .mp3 file in the terminal using cd and then type the following command:

omxplayer example.mp3

This will play the audio file example.mp3 through either your monitor's built-in speakers or your headphones - connected via the headphone jack.

If you need an example file you can download one from here using the following command:

wget https://goo.gl/XJuOUW -O example.mp3 --no-check-certificate

If you cannot hear anything, make sure your headphones or speakers are connected correctly. Note that omxplayer doesn't use ALSA and so ignores the audio configuration set by raspi-config or amixer.

If omxplayer's auto-detection of the correct audio output device fails, you can force output over hdmi with:

omxplayer -o hdmi example.mp3

or you can force output over the headphone jack with:

omxplayer -o local example.mp3
