#122562 - Buzzer Problem Solved
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Props to Leonardo Muller, your Darlington transitor KIP125 solved my problem and now i can even trigger on the base with a resistor of 1k ohm instead of 330ohm. I guess the hfe=1000 really helps a lot and the problem is definitaly lies within the current requirement for buzzer circuits.

And thanks to Erik Malund as well for helping out and your suggestion to measure the current does make sense even though i couldnt measure it on my multimeter. I didnt know what is wrong, but whenever i try to connect the ammeter in series with the buzzer circuit, it will distort the sound being produced and the current reading became stable. Maybe there is something wrong with my digital multimeter.

anyway, the problem is solved now, extra thanks again to leonardo and everyone that has helped out along the way!

If there is anymore problem in the future regarding my project problem, i would be expecting helps from you guys again :)

Does logic "low" represent 0V?            01/01/70 00:00      
   The diagram does not work            01/01/70 00:00      
      What current are we talking about?            01/01/70 00:00

      Yes, but...            01/01/70 00:00      
         bear in mind            01/01/70 00:00      
            Of course, but...            01/01/70 00:00      
         forgot to mention: cookbook was for a piezo buzzer            01/01/70 00:00      
            In such a case...            01/01/70 00:00

                     Please do as I have asked: connect the buzzer            01/01/70 00:00      
               What you tell is confusing...            01/01/70 00:00      
                  As mentioned by Kai Klaas            01/01/70 00:00

   Barbecue?            01/01/70 00:00      
   Type of buzzer            01/01/70 00:00      
      who knows how much power, how big spikes            01/01/70 00:00      
      Again...            01/01/70 00:00      
         Yeah            01/01/70 00:00      
            Try this!            01/01/70 00:00      
               just guessing            01/01/70 00:00      
                  guessing the current is below 5A...            01/01/70 00:00      
                     then what if it is 1uA            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Sorry.            01/01/70 00:00      
                     We just do not want to guess!!            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Sorry.            01/01/70 00:00      
                           No need to appologize, dear Leonardo...            01/01/70 00:00
