bad audio out after connecting servo #664

audio check is ok. audio out is loud and clear. mic is very low even input device set on 150% (maximum). when using tts.say (imported from aiy.voice) audio is horrible. very high background noise (sounds as if voice gone throu a blender), almost impossible to hear the sentence read out. this behaviour usually does not happen after reboot. it happens all the time after connecting and controlling servos through the Voice HAT. it happened after using I2C to control PCA9685 driver and also after connecting a servo directly to servo pins of the HAT.

The audio is being directed to the external speaker or to the 3.5 mm jack ? Are you powering up the kit with at least 2.1 amp of power adaptor ?
