[quote userid="8128" url="~/f/nordic-q-a/41501/pdm-microphone-issues---how-to-debug"]It is likely a hardware issue since it works fine on other boards[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;That is, of course a possibility - so what hardware testing / inspection / investigation have you done to verify that the hardware is OK?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another possibility is that your design is marginal - so some will&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;just&lt;/em&gt; work, and some will just &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; work ...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What software&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;testing / inspection / investigation have you done?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
