Wave Shield reads SD but no audio

Post by jbendes »

This is the second wave shield I've gotten with the exact same problem. Here are the pictures. The shield is "working" (arduino says its playing) but no audio is coming out.

Whatever it is, you are consistent! :)
Have you tried the 'cheap headphone' diagnostic trick? http://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.ph ... 14&p=65019

you should try another cable and/or verify anything you own plays sounds. it's not likely it's a waveshield issue if you're zero for two.

the sounds all play on my computer. It plays for me but not on the shield. Anything i can check on the shield? Also, i would agree with you if the arduino wasnt reporting that the shield was playing the music.
