Audiokit v2.2 (2957), version with I2C on 32/33 - two suggestions about arduino-audiokit HOT 8 CLOSED

Hmm - the pins are the same like 5) ai_thinker (ES8388) 3478.
Did you try with that option ?

from arduino-audiokit.

Thanks again for the ultrasonic response!
You're right (of course), just tried option 5 and that works fine for my 2957, so please forget my first suggestion.

You'll probably come up with a better alternative for my second suggestion as well, but I was so pleased to have found it after days of tinkering that I wanted to share it, just in case...

Thanks for your flawless and well documented libraries!

I will update the Readme and add the 2957 to option 5 as well.
For the issue with the volume I don't have an easy solution.

from arduino-audiokit.

For the volume I added an additional option in the AudioKitSettings.h. Can you help me to test this:
#define AI_THINKER_ES8388_VOLUME_HACK 1

from arduino-audiokit.

Just installed the newest version and tested a clean player-url_icy-audiokit example from the arduino-audio-tools library with these two lines added atop:

#define AUDIOKIT_BOARD 5 
#define AI_THINKER_ES8388_VOLUME_HACK 1

To my surprise, max volume is very low again. It appears that the unmodified es8388_set_voice_volume() was compiled, despite the new #if AI_THINKER_ES8388_VOLUME_HACK directive in es8388.c. Changing it to #ifdef AI_THINKER_ES8388_VOLUME_HACK makes everything work perfectly (on my kit). Beats me, but I'm on highly unfamiliar ground here.

(Hope I'm not bothering you too much with my strange version of this kit).

I confirm adding this in the sketch is not good enough. You need to update the AudioKitSettings.h file

from arduino-audiokit.

Moved #define AI_THINKER_ES8388_VOLUME_HACK 1 from the sketch to AudioKitSettings.h and everything now works like the Swiss public transport! As I said: unfamiliar ground for me, so thanks for your patience.
