I followed the instructions that dangardner wrote and I got the Wolfson Line out playing, however.

At first I thought that I had real good quality sound but after listening to a couple of songs I realized something was wrong with the channel output.
Sometimes voices or certain instruments would completely fade away as If they distanted very far away from the rest of the band.
To make sure I wasn't listening to a special version of a song I played the same file throug my Imac with external audio controller and the Audio output on the Pi and both ways it played fine.
I t looks like there is crostalk between the left and the right channel and this crosstalk is out of phase. It also seems is a certain frequency range because this does not apply to the bass range (otherwise I would have almost no bass).

Does anyone else have this problem? (The effect is very easy to spot if you play old ping=pong stereo recordings, I my case "Here Comes the Sun" from Abbey Road. George Harrisons voice should come from one speaker only but with the Raspi and the Wolfson card it glides between the speakers. This must be an Issue with the Wolfson Card (or driver / settings ) because when I use the Audio out on the Raspi there is no issue with the stereo (but the sound is pretty bad of course)

I already found the problem, there is a Typo in the script:

"amixer -Dhw:0 cset name='HPOUT2R Input 1' AIF1RX1" shoud have a "2" as last character.

Thanks anyway for the all the instructions here on the forum.

Like before can't get wolfson card work with latest 0.3-beta!
Changed kernel to wolfson kernel and after reboot I switched mpd to like snd-wlf.. but i get no sound through line out.
Did I miss anything to setup? What shall I do?
Has anything wolfson related changed at all since the alpha release?!

I have tried several times to get the Wolfson card working with a Raspberry Pi B, but I cannot get output from either the RCA outputs or the headphones socket.

I have selected the correct kernel (but I note that the I2S selecter is now greyed out), and run those commands from a few posts before this one.

Any further advice? I'm confident the card is OK as I have had it working under Raspbian.
