Adafruit 2MB sound board not triggering sound
I recently went to use my 2MB sound trigger board I plugged it into my computer and I heard a beep I then uploaded my sound file in the correct ogg format and then gave it the correct name (T02.OGG) relevant to the pin I wanted to use. I then soldered my wires on and connected the board to a 5v power bank the green light then came on however when I shorted my wire connected to pin 2 to the ground pin the red light did not come on and no sound was produced I’ve tried everything to different ways of powering it to different speakers , different wire , resoldering the wires onto the boards and trying different pins , I have also tried WAV files and changing the name of the files and my OGG sound file plays fine through my computer reading it off the adafruit board. Do you have any suggestions as to what I've done wrong.

Post a photo showing your hardware and connections and we'll take a look. 800x600 images usually work best.

Is the FX Board still connected to the computer through the USB cable?
The VS1000 won't play sounds while it still has a USB connection to the computer.

Re: Adafruit 2MB sound board not triggering sound
Thank you. What voltages do you see on the trigger pins? Those can give us information about problems inside the chip.

Is this the voltage between the trigger pins and the ground

Re: Adafruit 2MB sound board not triggering sound
Here’s my results from testing the voltage from each pin
Pins 0-7 = 3.3v
Pin 8 = 1.2v
Pins 9-10 = 3.3v
Pins 0-7 = 3.3v
Pin 8 = 1.2v
Pins 9-10 = 3.3v
