Hi Newbie here. Does the Raspberry Pi Zero W mini-hdmi support hdmi audio? I want to add a USB Mic + Speaker and thinking I could use a mini-hdmi speaker? Cheers.

Yes it supports hdmi audio, also hdmi-cec unless they removed it

Awesome! Do you know of any mini hdmi speakers that plug n play by any chance? Would the mini hdmi provide power to the speaker too? I’ll start my research nevertheless. Cheers mate.

Doubt they could be powered over hdmi, but i don't know for sure.

Sorry, i don't know much about small speakers, I'm more a big amp kind of guy

No worries.. maybe it’s worth just getting the bigger pi to play it safe.

Doubt that would make much difference, but i don't encourage people to buy the zeros, after you buy cables, you are most of the way to a full rpi
