I recently assembled the PiDog kit, but the speaker has never produced any sound from the beginning.

Following other posts in this forum, I tried playing some sample audio files multiple times. I also installed mplayer and attempted to play the samples with it. Unfortunately, there was still no sound output.

To further investigate, I tried to check the speaker connection on the Robot HAT. However, I accidentally damaged the connector while attempting to unplug it (see attached image).

I then tested the speaker alone by connecting it to another audio source, and it worked — sound was produced.

Next, I soldered the speaker wires directly to the board (without using the connector) and tried playing the sample audio again, but still, no sound came out.

I would appreciate any advice or help. Thank you in advance.

My first post so forgive if not so great. My PiDog is not sounding. Speaker coil is open. Sunfounder Chat told me to find a different speaker but bad fit and still no sound. Help?
