I am using the DFPlayer Pro mp3 player from your store for a sound effect on a project (as a stand alone player, no Arduino) and am having an issue which I have not been able to solve. I have added one track to the player. My problem is that when I power up the player, it plays a female voice saying the word “music” over and over again. Only if I press the play button can I play my own track.
How do I get rid of the “music, music, music” voice? It does not appear as an audio track when I hook the module up to my computer.
Thank you for taking the time to reply. The “music” sound only happens when it is being used alone without a microcontroller. It happens when “play” is activated for the first time. Apparently, it is a default for this module. I am trying to find a way to disable it.
Thank you for your suggestion. I contacted them and the solution requires purchasing hardware, soldering pin headers to the module and connecting it to a computer through a USB to TTL module for AT configuration (which is beyond my knowledge level). This solution is getting way too complicated for this electronics hobbyist who just wants a simple sound effect to play.
Why there even has to be a prompt in the standalone setup is beyond me. I have used BY8301-16P mp3 modules before with no such issues, no need for any “music” prompt.
Thank you for taking the time to try to assist me, I really appreciate your kindness.
Did you try sending the command “AT+PROMPT=OFF”? I think that’s supposed to turn off the start up prompt. It should also save it during power off just like it saves the baud rate and volume settings.
