Problem with the DFPlayer Pro mp3 player

Hello,

I am using the DFPlayer Pro mp3 player for a sound effect on a project (as a stand alone player, no Arduino) and am having an issue which I have not been able to solve. I have added one track to the player. My problem is that when I power up the player, it plays a female voice saying the word “music” over and over again. Only if I press the play button can I play my own track.

How do I get rid of the “music, music, music” voice? It does not appear as an audio track when I hook the module up to my computer.

Thanks!

Hi, which product are you using? This one?

Yes, I have two of them and they both do the same thing.

Yes and I’m stuck and can’t complete my project until I can get rid of the “music, music, music” voice.

Quite strange. I have gone through the wiki page of the product and couldn’t find anything about this default voice. Since I do not have this product, I can’t really say how to shut that up. Since it is a DFrobot product, I think you’d better mail to their customer service and tell them regarding the weird problem. They must know something.

I have sent an email to them, no answer yet. So I thought I would post to see whether anyone had the same problem.

Oh no! That’s really frustrating. OK, let’s see if anyone has solved this issue.

I contacted the company and apparently this “music” voice is default and can only be turned off when the board is connected to a micro controller. In stand alone mode it can not be turned off.
