Audio Hardware

The audiobook player uses the PCM5102A I2S DAC on the audio variant of the T-Deck Pro (I2S pins: BCLK=7, DOUT=8, LRC=9). Audio is output via the 3.5mm headphone jack.

Note: The audiobook player is not available on the 4G modem variant due to I2S pin conflicts. MP3 format is recommended over M4B for best compatibility with the ESP32-audioI2S library.
