If you don’t populate R6-9 and R21-24, you probably won’t have any sound.
Other than that, it looks good 👍🏻

I've got the board populated, just waiting on the connector. Take a look and let me know if you spot any mistakes. Being new to the project the empty spots were concerning but I suspect they're remains from previous iterations. This was my first smd project, not so tough once you get into the rhythm for the lil guys.
I messed up with the ARM chip. I soldered a corner to hold it in place, but it was a little misaligned. Spent a while trying to wick and suck and pry it back up, or scoot it over, but just soldered more pins in the process. It was basically off by 1 pin in one direction. So I ripped each pin on 2 sides back up, and carefully bent it over to where it should be. There was a lot of cursing. You can see it in the photo, it looks like it's a camera angle but it's straight on. No big surprise if I've killed it, but I'm optimistic.
I appreciate the hard work you guys have put into this. Looking forward to powering it up.
