It seems to be working now.

I hate it when it is literally the last thing you try.

I think the problem is the filesystem you are using: It must be a (simple) FAT(32) file system, all others will not work. Usually most USB sticks are sold preformatted with a FAT32 system.

I have tried

  • naming one of them as S0.wav, did not hear it at startup
  • renaming my files with small and large p at the beginning (P5.wav + p5.wav)
  • tried using other sound libraries contributed by other users
  • upgrading the firmware to the latest version
  • formatting the USB stick with exFAT instead of mac journaled

It still does not appear to be working.

I started with the code Thymio music instrument code https://www.thymio.org/en:thymiomusic and then further simplified it for debugging:

onevent button.forward call sound.play(0)

No luck. Please help.
