+To load audio driver
+
+    modprobe snd-bcm2835
+
+To test audio playback
+
+    e.g. aplay test.wav
+
+Note that without HDMI connected this emits audio from the 3.5in jack connector
+as expected. However With an HDMI display connected there is no audio output from
+the jack connector.
+
+To force the audio routing via the 3.5in jack connector use
+
+    amixer cset numid=3 1
+
+Options to amixer cset are:
+
+    0=auto
