Audio Volume Louder?

Post by JohnBottle »

Hi all,

I've got an Itsy Bitsy m0 - and an Adafruit Mono 2.5W Class D Audio Amplifier - PAM8302

I've got a 40mm Diameter - 4 Ohm 3 Watt speaker.

I got a wav file to play! (really pleased about it!)

But is there any way to make it louder? Up the volume? Or is the sound being produced as loud as the amplifer/speaker can handle?

(I've turned up the pot on the amplifier, and I've used audacity to make the wav as loud as possible)

Many thanks!

Can you post a photo or two showing how you have it all hooked up?

I forgot to add the -A wire!!

Wow - it is fantastic now - So impressed - and If I use the pringles can amplifier - it is amazingly loud for such a little speaker!
