Minty Pi v3 audio and shutting down issues

[RuttleHeads]

Hello,

I can't seem to get audio working on the minty pi v3. I have checked the solder points and tried reflashing but it still doesn't seem to be working out.

Also when using a magnet to shutdown it gets hung up in the normal shutdown process and won't continue. It stopped on 'stopping login services' a few times, then after the reflash ' stopping perimeter sessions'. I have to unplug cord (not hooked up to battery yet) to get it to turn off.

Anyone seeing these issues? Or have a fix for them?

UPDATE: I tested the sound through headphones, and the sound works there, but not through speakers.

Solution on shutdown: you need the battery hooked up for it to shut down properly.

For the system to turn off properly you need the power board with battery. Maybe the speaker blew ? You have something you can test the speaker on?

Oh ok good deal on the power.

As for the speaker, I tried switching it with another of the same size (I have a box.of the same ones), but still didn't get sound. There also wasn't a burst of noise that usually happens when they blow.

I only tried one speaker, I'll try a second when I get off work to see if it was just bad luck.

I guess it did blow. I tried a large 8ohm .5W, an old gameboy pocket one, and one of those cheap oblong ones, they all worked.
That's weird, I didn't hear any sound from it since testing it out.
I also thought that I had more of these tiny ones, but I was thinking of the larger versions.
Would the larger ones fit in the case? Or would it just be best for me to buy some of the smaller ones?

Has to be these small ones and they are easy to find and cheap, sorry about it blowing and I think it happened to me too lol. Cheap chinese shit.
