FX Sound Board Will Not Play Audio

Post by ProgenitorTech »

I recently purchased one of your FX sound boards with headphone jack, WAV/OGG Trigger with 16MB . I think I have everything hooked up and set up correctly, but I don’t seem to be able to get any audio out. I’ve checked my speaker and audio headphone cable separately to verify it is working and it is. My pinouts seem to be correct. My voltage input in Vin and Gnd are 5.12vdc, and the audio files are all Tnn.wav 1 through 9, but when I press the buttons, nothing happens. I’ve checked continuity, NO/NC of all the push buttons, and I’ve even sent Vol+ to ground a few times just in case the volume was down, but still nothing. Not sure what else to do, so I’ve wondering if the unit is defective.

To make sure it's not an issue with the audio files format, try using the demo tracks from the zip file here:

Does the red LED light up when you press a button?

Also keep in mind that playback only works when powered without a USB connection. It looks like you are doing that, but it can still be a confusing feature of this board.

I have the same issue with the FX board. When the board is powered through Vin and Gnd no sound will play. If I power the board through the USB connection (no data) the board operates normally.
