Hi @u_h ,
Sorry for my later reply because of the Chinese dragon boat festival !
JP7-1 <--> JP8-2, please double check your board, do you connect it right?
Why you connect JP7-1 to JP7-2, and JP8-1 to JP8-2?
This is my board connection:


Your connection is totally wrong, please double read the readme.txt, and check your connection, thanks.
Then try it again, you will can hear the sound through j4, please note the code:
if (CODEC_SetVolume(&codecHandle, kCODEC_PlayChannelHeadphoneLeft | kCODEC_PlayChannelHeadphoneRight, 90U) !=
kStatus_Success)
{
assert(false);
}
then build the code and download it.
If you still not work, let me know.
Best Regards,
Kerry
