FX Sound Board power problems

Post by Mosejens »

I'm using a Adafruit Audio FX Mini Sound Board on my BANNED. My USB connection is OK (showing and moving files to and from the board). When powered through the USB port no sound is heard - when powered by af battery (5V) sound is OK. Have tried with different cabels. What's wrong?

Sounds doesn't play when USB data is connected. The board goes into USB drive mode. Powering without a USB data connection (battery, or USB power/charge cable) puts it in sound-play mode.

Have a look at the tutorial guide if you haven't yet. https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-aud ... ound-board

Thank you Dave, I'm so old in EDP that i avoid reading manuals, always trying first. Now it works (my railroad crossing bells).
