THe complete installation guide is here: https://forum.raspiaudio.com/t/ultra-installation-guide/21

But in short you should: Clone the driver and install it with commands copy and paste each line in a terminal window:

git clone https://github.com/RASPIAUDIO/WM8960-Audio-HAT.git

cd WM8960-Audio-HAT

sudo ./install.sh

It could take a long time 5 minutes on a PI4, but 15mn or more on a Pi zero, so relax go get a drink then.

Before restarting do:

sudo nano /etc/pulse/default.pa

Then add the following lines:

load-module module-alsa-source device = hw: 0,0
load-module module-alsa-sink

Lastly Reboot using:

sudo reboot
