I came across the Speaker Tone feature and thought that was a very simple and neat way to add a bit-o-character without added expense. So I modded the plug on a piezo PC speaker an away I go...
But what I actually get sounds distorted and drawn out, like the note is being broken in little segments and extended (best way I can describe it). The volume is also very low.
I have tried and tested the following...
Latest firmware & good power - included battery pack and auxiliary 12v DC
Different speakers - voice coil (8ohm) and piezo... no difference at all.
Correct pins on ports (inner and outer GND and SIG) even reversed leads to speaker just in case... no diff. (and yes, I am using the digital ports... it is working, just distorted and quiet)
Tested multiple ports... no diff.
Tested with and without other items attached... no diff.
It is such a simple thing... not sure what I am possibly doing wrong... even followed the tutorial exactly (RTFM
) well, up to the scrip part... because what is on the video looks different then what I have on my ver. EZ-B. Darn upgrades
Is this an obsolete feature and I just missed the memo? I have scoured the forums to no avail.

Since the subject was brought up, I also tested sound servo and just like winstn60, I can get a nice graph and see all the level numbers change, but not a single twitch from any servo.
Just tried the speaker tone function again... still not working, just slow, low volume, muddled tones. Just curious DJ, is this to be an officially removed function as per your comments? Or is there a fix, or for that matter is there a problem... perhaps I am doing something wrong? (who me? nah eyeroll )
