Adafruit Audio FX Sound Board

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

The camera was pointed away from the FX Board when you pressed the switch to play a track on pin 1. Did the red 'Act' LED light when you pressed the button?

Also, could you post a screenshot showing the contents of the FX Board's filesystem when you have it connected to the computer with a USB cable please?

As your recent problem with .wav files points back to this post I will post here.

Since the test files are working fine with your unit but your downloaded .wav files are not, the problem might be due to them not being converted to the right format.
Personally I use Audacity as its free and open source software. Here is the relevant guild from here on Adafruit that shows how to convert your .wav files for use on the
audio fx board.

ALSO: try .WAV rather than .wav the board is very particular about spelling and capitalization.

to adoboyfruit thank you for the info I downloaded Audacity so I could convert my files from 32 bit to 16 bit but it still did not work :( I also tried naming them with WAV instead wav still did not work I am tempted to try converting them to ogg files but I am not sure what else to try

[adafruit_support_mike]

What settings are you using for the WAV encoding? The VS1000 can't handle some of the higher bitrate formats.

Also, try emptying the Recycle Bin while the FX Board is connected to the computer. Throwing away files doesn't actually delete them from the file tree, and the VS1000 isn't smart enough to know about the hidden directories where files are stored before they're actually deleted.

I am not real familiar on how to edit but what I did is I took the file I had and adjusted it is 16 bit which the lowest it will let me chose and made 16000hz I did one in stero and one in mono and nether worked the test files have those settings I am not sure what I am doing wrong they started out as 32bit. Please Mr. Mike or adaboyfruit, I'm just a women trying everything to help my mother get her sound board working for her wheel chair.I Thank you very much for all the help you folks have been giving me and I hope to get this fixed or working.

Sorry for the delay.

Do the audio tracks play on your computer, and will the FX Board play them if you rename them for simple triggers on some other pin (T02.WAV)?
