SD Card module won't work

Bart asked 2 years ago

I am trying to get an ESP 32 to play a MP3 file.
I would like to use a Flutesan ESP 32 board with a Adafruit microSD breakout board.
When the sketch runs, I get an error message:
[ 15428][E][sd_diskio.cpp:199] sdCommand(): Card Failed! cmd: 0x37
[ 15428][E][sd_diskio.cpp:199] sdCommand(): Card Failed! cmd: 0x29
[ 15429][E][sd_diskio.cpp:802] sdcard_mount(): f_mount failed: (3) The physical drive cannot work
Error accessing microSD card!
I have checked my pin connections, have tried two different ESP boards, two different brands of ESP 32 boards, two different SDcard boards, three different sd cards, reinstalled the schreibfaul1/ESP32-audioI2S library and checked the connections countless times.  Still, the same error!
I’m hoping someone here can show me what I’m doing wrong.

Hi.
I’m sorry, but I’m not familiar with that library.
The most common issues with the microSD card are:

  • wrong connections;
  • microSD card not formatted in the right type
  • microSD card corrupted
  • …

 
I also read here: https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/issues/6081 that it can be an issue with the ESP32 core version you’re running. Go to Tools > Board > Boards Manager, and search for ESP32. Check your core version. Change to another version and check if anything changes.
 
Regards,
Sara
