Recently I found this Audio Codec Shield made by Open Music Labs. Surprisingly the pinout of this shield, and I2S signals particularly, match the pinout of the Intel Edison Arduino breakout board.
And so it is not difficult to make this shield work with Intel Edison. For the simple audio playback it is needed to setup pin multiplexing on the Arduino breakout board, so that I2S and I2C signals are routed to the Arduino headers, and then to configure the codec, in the way similar to what I've described in my previous post.
Hardware Setup
Hardware Setup
I'd recommend configuring Arduino breakout board pins voltage to 3.3V by setting jumper J9 to position 2-3. Once it is configured, plug the Audio Codec Shield into the Arduino breakout board.
Pin Multiplexing Setup
Pin Multiplexing Setup
Use the following code to setup the I2S and I2C signals on Arduino breakout board headers. You might want to create a script with this code, and make it run on the boot.

Codec Configuration
Codec Configuration
Use the following commands to configure the codec:
# reset codec
i2cset -y 6 0x1a 0x1e 0x00
# disable DAC and output powerdown
i2cset -y 6 0x1a 0x0c 0x07
# set volume for headphone output (both channels)
i2cset -y 6 0x1a 0x05 0x50
# analog audio path control (DAC enabled)
i2cset -y 6 0x1a 0x08 0x12
# digital audio path control
i2cset -y 6 0x1a 0x0a 0x00
# set sample rate (48000Hz, assuming 12.288MHz codec clock)
#i2cset -y 6 0x1a 0x10 0x00
# set sample rate (44100Hz, assuming 11.2896MHz codec clock)
i2cset -y 6 0x1a 0x10 0x20
# digital audio interface format set (DSP mode, 24 bit)
i2cset -y 6 0x1a 0x0e 0x8b
# activate interface
i2cset -y 6 0x1a 0x12 0x01
Using the Audio Device
Using the Audio Device
The codec is connected to ALSA device hw:1,0 . Refer to the software documentation on configuring the device name. For example in mpg123 player the audio device can be specified using -a switch:
mpg123 -a hw:1,0 -v "Dave Brubeck - Take Five.mp3"
AlexT's repository has several software packages that support audio output.
Output volume can be adjusted by writing headphone out register at address 0x05 (both channels) or 0x04 (left channel) and 0x06 (right channel), e.g.:
i2cset -y 1 0x1a 0x05 0x50
