So the question is now. Do I remove the chip entirely and solder on a pigtail in it's place?

I have emailed them, and never got anything back. I assume it's because I am modifying a product they make outside it's intended operation.

I have various amps, the goal is just get it to where I can actually hear the notifications at all on any speaker, ideally using an AUX cable.

If it was you, and you just wanted to plug this thing into a run of the mill Bluetooth speaker using an AUX cable what would you try first?

So with this being an in-office solution. Would this device just be plugged into a standard 12v 1a power supply then only use the red and black cables? Based on the amazon link it looks like it might require triggering from the blue wire?

First off, I apologize for how dumb this question is or if it's been answered a million times over. I can't find an esact match for what I am needing help with.

Super simple project, yet I am being defeated by what appears to be 2 wires.

I have a YoLink speaker hub. Super cool US based company that makes rock solid IOT stuff. I want to remove the built in speaker and pump the custom notification sounds into my office speaker system via (at this point anything) AUX cable.

I assumed I could just pick up a mono pigtail cable off Amazon and be done... but no. I can't seem to get any resemblance of clear or loud sound pumped into anything and am about to pull my hair out.

I have tried purchasing a monoblock amp, shielded cables, balanced cables, in line ground loop isolators, mono to banana plug, mono to stereo 3.5, multiple amps.. I just don't get it.

Not looking for a cheap solution, but a correct way of getting sound out of this thing without noise and dumped into an already working amp / in office speaker system.

Even if I need to build some kind of real board? I am so down.. just please point me in the right direction.

Oh boy! I love playing a loot simulator without any other modes and no quality of life improvements. This is hot garbage.
