Hi,
I’m having issues with garbled audio on the wav trigger.
I just recently purchased a wav trigger, and I am having a few issues getting it to work. I’m using the sample tracks from sparkfun loaded in the rood directory of a 32G sanDisk sd card formatted as fat32. When I insert the sd card and plug in power (9V battery with DC connector cable) the led will sometimes blink three times indicating that it has read the file correctly and sometimes it will rapidly blink more than three times indicating that it had trouble reading the file. When it has trouble reading the file, I’ve taken the sd card out and power cycled the wav trigger a few times and then it will usually recognize the file when I insert the sd card and power on the wav trigger. If it still does not recognize the file, I usually reformat the sd card and recopy the audio tracks onto it. That process usually allows the wav trigger to recognize the files.
Once the files are recognized, I am able to play the first file by pressing the button or by connecting the trigger to ground. It sounds decent the first time it is played, but each additional time seems to introduce popping and static, until all that can be heard is the static and popping, which continues on indefinitely, much longer than the audio file would normally play. It almost sounds like it is immediately restarting the audio file as soon as it starts playing and continues doing that indefinitely.
Is this something that has been seen before and is it fixed in a firmware update? Do you think this is a hardware problem, and I need to order a new board?
I would appreciate any advice you can give.
Thanks,
Michael
