For starters a USB drive
Then a psu rated 5v 2.4A ( use any phone charger at your own risk)
Then flash RPiOS to the USB drive
Connect other computer peripherals of your choice
Power up the setup. It should boot from the USB drive

my RPiZW setup with the "white cable" (but this cable didn't come from Pimoroni) RPiZW USB audio with white cable view1.jpg RPiZW USB audio with white cable view2.jpg and this is how I setup the audio out RPiZW RPiOS USB audio selection.jpg sound did come out from my in-ear phones.

for 2.5" drive I've connected 4TB, bus powered one on a RPi4B-2G NAS another one on RPi2Bv1.2 for 3.5" drives, I have one setup with 2 x 8TB.... and another setup with [10 x 4TB] + [4 x 3TB] (is that enough?) will add more when the 4 x 8TB arrives.... of course those are self powered drives connecte...

let me guess...
you've set the network share to mount via fstab
but have not set the "wait for network" in raspi-config....

LTolledo

in Raspbian (or RPiOS) this is how my network share symlinks look like (note the NAS folders) RPi4B-4G desktop with sysmlinks.jpg the way I do it: 1. mount the network share via /etc/fstab 2. make symlinks of the network mount to my desktop cd /home/pi/Desktop ln -s /mnt/networkshare (/mnt/networksh...

LTolledo

is your Lubuntu using pcManFM as file manager? if so.... that file manager suffers from "digital demetia", no matter how many times one select "Remember Forever" during network share accessing, it always 100% forgets it. other file managers like Thunar can be made to "remember" those credentials. I'...

right click the speaker icon that appears in the top right of your monitor (just like the one shown above)
from there you should be able to see
Analog
HDMI
USB audio

select the USB audio

sometimes you may or may not need to reboot to have it activate.

LTolledo

Either you extract it using a few passive components
or use a DAC audio board designed for the RPiZW
Like the pimoroni pHAT DAC

as my secondary desktop (where I watch most of YT videos) has been "upgraded" from RPi3B+ Raspbian Stretch full desktop to RPi4B-4G Raspbian Buster full desktop.... there isn't much change aside from the faster access time.... I still watch a lot of YT videos on this upgraded secondary desktop..... ...

saw this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffIwvaitmt4 for trying to learn python, best install RPiOS on one microSD card then on another microSD card, you can install RetroPie so you can run BeebEM (as in the video link above) the flight sim here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7...

I could have used this proto board for my RPi power module top board

but will require a few more work than with the RPi specific proto board (sometimes I get too impatient

)

Really 2 AND 4 for 5V? I use one of those 2 for the 5V supply (6 for GND) We had the cable discussion before (in your special thread on buck converters), I tested the copper cable I use in other setups with pis, no undervoltage. https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=266296&sid=1de...

I've not check space management between EXT4 and NTFS but I do know that file transfers over the GbE wired network from NTFS source to NTFS share is slower than NTFS source to EXT4 share EXT4 source to EXT4 share should be better.... I have those transfer graphs "splattered" in the forum....somewher...

question is the same as "how long is a piece of string"

Answer: "twice as long as half its length"
that is... if one knows the "length" part

(Sorry for the OT)

LTolledo

heed jamesh word on this!

I was once on the "dark side"..... but have "seen the light" since....

there is a flight simulator that being natively run on the RPi.... check out the games section!

LTolledo

as this is a board specific requirement, this would be better addressed in the Inno maker forum (if it does exist).

LTolledo

that's really odd, well I can only say from my experience with a RPiZW that I've used as a Kodi player
audio does output from the HDMI port
as its a desktop installation (Raspbian Stretch minimal desktop though), I've also confirmed HDMI audio when I played some low res YT videos.

LTolledo

am not sure with 64bit RPiOS, but in 32bit if chromium is open change audio from HDMI to Analog close chromium open chromium again then play any YT video of your choice audio should come out of analog port if chromium is not open just change the audio from HDMI to Analog then open chromium then play...

yes via header pins 2 and 4 (5v) and pin 6 (GND). The RPi protoboard is designed that way

you might be able to do it using outside circuity....

using a linear potentiometer, some resistors and capacitors
a web search on audio balance control will be needed

RPi1B+ is the board the OP wants....

LTolledo

I don't want to use other partition formats. I want to use NTFS. The consensus of opinion is that write speeds to NTFS on linux are slow. Hardly surprising given NTFS is propritary and closed source. Can you give me a solution for my pi4 problem ? Don't use NTFS? Seriously. Unless you're going to n...
