Beep sound problem with MSGEQ7

Grumpy_Mike:
The capacitor between pins 1 & 2 is for supply decoupling. This should be a ceramic type capacitor, not the type that you have used. It could be that the chip is oscillating as a result.

Are you sure that's the reason or is this just a guess ?

Also I do wonder why I read "0" from the audio signal input ?
