Noise when the DFPlayer Mini MP3 turn off

Hi,

I buy a DFPlayer Mini MP3 and I use it with arduino one.
I connect the DFPlayer like the photo.

If I play the music the device work fine, but when i stop the music ( mp3_stop() ) I listen the a little noise.
If I change the power from the 5v to 3.3v (from arduino) the noise is reduced but there is always.

I am using this project to build an alarm clock and the noise at night bothers.

Exist a software command for switch off the device? (I try with mp3_sleep() but it seems that nothing changes)
How can I reduce this noise?

Thank you
2016-06-01 22:55:58 The module working current = mini player working current + loud speaker
  • MP3 Mini player: standby20mA, suppose the working one as 100mA)
  • speaker: depends on yours, reference one 3W, 8Ω ——> 620mA

So recommand using a transistor @>1A like, S8050 S8550 (both 1.5A)...

2016-05-31 03:27:46 Hi, can you recommend a transistor model?

I saw a 2N7000 or 2n2222 would be fine?

2016-05-27 23:00:07 :shock: Well, very thank you to try, so the last thing worthy to try is to SHUT DOWN it according to ur diagram using a transistor. userHeadPic Leff
2016-05-27 09:29:38 Hi, I try with another power supply but the "very little noise (swish)" is always present (when the music is stop). userHeadPic xoooox
2016-05-26 22:57:43 No problem that is, I still advice you could try another power supply to MP3 module but not from Arduino. userHeadPic Leff
2016-05-26 22:38:26 Hi,

Yes, I use two 1k resisters (like mine and yours scheme). If I don't use the resistors the noise is very high.

Now I use the "Case1" (see the picture).

For turn off the device I can use the "Case2" with a transistor? I can damage the device to turn on and off?
