Hi,

First of all thanks for your tutorial "Raspberry Pi Zero Audio Circuit".
I tried it out but the volume is very very low (as if it's produced by headphones).  Here's my build:

 

I used a Raspberry Pi 2 B to test, but I will swap it later with a Zero.

Amixer and alsamixer are both on 100%. When I connect the input straight to the amplifier (without the filter), it's a bit louder and ofcourse a lot of noise but still not very loud. It's as if the amplifier is not amplifying the sound, but it's still processing the input...

Am I missing something? The speaker is 3W btw.

Thanks!

I added the second speaker, and everything works fine now. Is it normal behaviour that both speakers should be connected?

Thanks

The channels operate independently of each other, so that's weird that it only worked with both speakers attached.
