Hi,

  1. can I directly solder speaker to HP_L and HP_R of board to board

    connector to Speaker like 1 to 5 W power.



    I use the 450050 speaker, the sound is quite low, but you can hear the voice.


  2. Can I make setup that play both external speaker from HP_L and HP_R of

    board to board connector and Headphone from 3.5mm jack and at a time only

    one will work.





    Yes, you can hear both of them, but the Speaker connect HP_L and HP_R of board is quite low sound. thanks.

Hi bill,



Please see

  1. I tried but it is not working means not playing through connector

    connection.


  2. I only need one working at a time while the problem is both are working

    hands free as well as external speaker.

    Thanks,

Hi Bill,



We had a volume control conversation in November with my team. From that

point, we were using PulseAudio as per your instructions to control the

volume.

We have found sound stuttering issues using pulseaudio in sound sink our

problem is same which is mentioned in below link.

<LINK_TEXT text=“https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/q … stuttering”>https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/9795/pulseaudio-sink-stuttering</LINK_TEXT>



We would like to use default alsa to control the sound or something else

but not pulseaudio becuase we are facing lot of isssue with our environment

using pulseaudio.

Attaching image for more information.

Seeking your urgent help on the issue.
