| Symptom | Likely Cause | Full Solution | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Short on VCC/GND | Remove module; check ceramic capacitor C4 (10µF) – replace if shorted. | | Pairs but no audio | PCM/I2S routing issue | Reflow solder on PCM_OUT and PCM_SYNC pins. Use oscilloscope to check for 1.5MHz clock. | | AT commands return garbage | Baud rate mismatch | Try 9600, 57600, and 115200. Also check if host has CTS flow control enabled – disable it. | | Range under 3 meters | Broken PCB trace antenna | Scrape solder mask near pin 18, solder a 31mm wire (1/4 wave for 2.4GHz) as a replacement. | | Cannot enter command mode | UART RX pin held low | Check for external pull-down on RX. Normal state is idle high (3.3V). Add 10k pull-up to 3.3V. |
