Hey guys,
I'm making a Sound project with the teensy 3.2 and prop shield, currently I've stripped my teensy of all components except the speaker coming out of the prop shield + and - pins, and the unit is powered by usb.
My problem is that at any volume above extremely quiet, any sound that comes out of the prop shield is super distorted and clipping. When played at full volume the sound doesn't even come out just a popping/distorted sound.
This happens on any type of waveform, and also on many different sketches. The prop shield was working fine for a few days and I think I bumped it too hard and it suddenly went like this.
I know its not a code issue since I have 2 identical teensy+prop shields running the same code and the other one works fine.
I have tried replacing the speaker and even the cords running into the speaker, makes no difference.
There doesn't seem to be any shorts or external damage.
The only thing I can think of is that the Amp has broken, however I don't see how this could happen given that i'm not pushing any extreme volumes/clipping, and my other teensy is still running the code just fine. Also the bump it received was minor, like I didn't throw it against the wall...
Questions:
Is there any way for me to test if the problem is due to the teensy or due to the prop shield?
Is there any way to reset the amplifier or something to fix it?
Is it possible that I broke the amplifier by bumping it?
Has anyone else experienced something like this?
Am I going to have to buy a new prop shield/Teensy?
Thanks.
