Mintypi v3 sound
The first time I tried testing that the Mintypi v3 worked the sound came on and everything worked fine. I then took the screen off to fix the dark spots and when I plugged it in the second time all I heard from the speaker was this weird crackling noise. Is this an issue with the speaker or something else?

I haven't been able to get sound from the headphone jack or the speaker at all yet.
Just wondering what it could be? Would have to doublecheck the speaker, and the "headphone" I was using was actually an old headset from the nintendo ds which may require the extra pins off the side to get audio? Will have to re-test everything and report back, but it looks like I'm not the only one with audio issues

Re: Mintypi v3 sound
Had someone with a sound issue too, he had to reflow the 5V pins on the sound chip.

Re: Mintypi v3 sound
Ok, so I tried testing the continuity between those pads and got continuity. Just to be safe I tried to reflow the chip. Is there any other fix that I could try applying.

Re: Mintypi v3 sound
Only thing I can recommend is the be sure 5v is going to the audio chip, maybe reflow the chip with some hot air or use flux and a clean tipped iron. Other thing to test are the first 3 test points on the left side of the PCB have proper continuity as those are for audio.

Re: Mintypi v3 sound
So I've tried now to reflow the chip multiple times I've tested for continuity and nothing has worked. I don't know what to do. Will, I just have no sound or can anyone think of anything else to try.

Send me it with a note with the issue and I'll have a look.
