To improve the sound, we recommend:

* [Ground Loop Isolator](https://amzn.to/37nyZjK) *

Alternatively you can use an external sound card, but sometimes that doesn't seem to improve much:

### Configure USB sound card
### Using on-board headphone-jack for audio
Note: Installing with an external monitor (HDMI) can create a problem if you use the mini-jack audio out. The problem is that if you plug in a HDMI monitor an additional sound output is added and the index changes. This bothering behavior was introduced, when Raspberry Pi separated headphones jack and HDMI into two different devices in May 2020.
See: [Troubleshooting: headphone audio unavailable after unplugging HDMI](https://github.com/MiczFlor/RPi-Jukebox-RFID/discussions/1300)
If this problem occurs, follow the steps in the next section (configure USB sound card).
