Nintendo's first 3DS handheld device released February 2011, identified by model number CTR-001.

Audio doesn't work properly

Hi, my 3ds sometimes has no sound and other times it seems like I'm hearing a radio. I tried to use headphones but it doesn't give any problem. What could be the problem?

Hi!

When the headphone jack is working, it’s probably speaker related!

But before I can confirm that, I need to hear an audio fragment about this. Can you share a video/audio fragment?

Thanks in advance!

Good morning, sure!

At the beginning of my MP3 audio the 3DS was turning on. Despite the audio switch being off, the speakers were making a radio noise. After this, the 3DS played the audio of some games, but I could still hear the radio effect. I created some audio fragments, but I deleted them because the 3DS didn’t reproduce any audio.

Hi!

It’s either the speakers OR the audio processor! I recommend to replace the speakers first, as this is way easier. Can you let us know if that fixed it? Thanks!

Where I can find the audio chip on the 3ds? I searched it on google but i didn't find anything useful. Anyway I will try replace the speakers and I'll let you know. Thank you

Yeah, it’s difficult to find this one! Best thing to buy a broken (donor) motherboard, where you can take the audio IC from! Best thing is to replace the stereo speaker assembly. Fortunately it’s a complete cable with the speakers already soldered on! So no soldering is required to replace it! Usually replacing this is the fix! Please let us know how it goes!

Good afternoon, unfortunately I didn't repair the 3ds because the owner decided to not continue the fix for now. I wanted to thank you again for your availability and if I have some news I'll let you know. Luca
