Key actions include identifying microphone and speaker devices using `arecord -l` and `aplay -l`, and noting their card and device numbers. Then create `.asoundrc` file and update it with specific hardware details. Users then verify audio functionality by adjusting volume using `alsamixer`, testing playback with `speaker-test`, and testing recording using `arecord` and `aplay`. Lastly a command `sudo raspi-config` is suggested to choose the audio output.\n"]]
