VS1053 not recording

Hello, I'm new to this forum. I want to record audio using Arduino. For that, I'm using VS1053 with the Ogg recording option. I tried with adafruit vs1053 library examples. But recorded sounds were glitching sounds not audio. I copied the v44k1q05.img to the sd card also. I checked the wiring. it can play mp3 files. I'm facing a problem with recording. Please can someone help me?`

Since hardware is involved it would be best if you posted an accurate annotated schematic of your circuit as you have it wired. Frizzy pictures are not considered schematics they are wiring diagrams and almost useless. Also post links to "Technical Information" for the hardware devices, links to places like azon generally give sales information, not technical information.


It does have only a push button and audio out cable.

Details Please!

#define REC_BUTTON 7

Your button is connected to pin 5, not pin 7.

I just copied the code from the vs1053 example in arduino IDE, I changed the pin number to 5 when I upload the code to the board.

:scream:

Several digital pins are labelled with signal names on the PCB - they do not match the pin numbers in the sketch.
