How to use Waveshare wm8960 external sound card?

[kostasoft]

Can not install drivers by instructions from the official website:
https://github.com/waveshare/WM8960-Audio-HAT

I've no idea, I've never heard of it. The kernel we use is a bit old, perhaps it's related to that. Sorry, can't help further.

When you start the compilation it generates an error:

./install.sh: line 21: apt: command not found
Reading package lists... Done

mkdir: cannot create directory `/etc/wm8960-soundcard': File exists
./install.sh: line 83: systemctl: command not found
./install.sh: line 84: systemctl: command not found

But on the freshly installed raspbian Lite, the compilation goes without errors.

Change their install script to use apt-get. Also be aware pimusicbox is based on Debian Wheezy and there may be other incompatibilities in the install script. Good luck

Do you plan to support this sound card on any next release? @kostasoft were you able to make it run? If yes, would you please share how did you achieve it?
