Flash your sd-card with 2021-05-07-raspios-buster-armhf.zip as this version has been tested with this hardware configuration.
Setup your WiFi connection preferences. My recommendations are you add your home network and your phone's hotspot. You should ssh in from some other device to do the installs, you will need a monitor later on to setup Kodi and RetroPie.
Enable Camera
sudo raspi-config
Install the audio hat driver
The Audio Hat Manual is here. The manual was missing a step, install rpi-source before following the steps, this will take a bit.
sudo apt update sudo apt install rpi-source
git clone https://github.com/waveshare/WM8960-Audio-HAT cd WM8960-Audio-HAT sudo ./install.sh
Reboot.
Check that driver was installed:
cd WM8960-Audio-HAT sudo dkms status
