Ijaz, do you people keep a track of my history or what? :o


Thanks Andy for the support, i really appreciate it. Well, i'll try all i can, and if it's no use, i guess i'll just sacrifice some points.

And you're right about the speaker. The chip strictly wants 16 ohms, and the schematic provided in the data sheet shows that the speaker is directly connected to the pins. There are filters/amplifiers and complicated circuitry inside the chip... so i guess it's okay to connect normally.
