Description

Describe the bug
Issue with "Music" blocks. The buzzer does not seem to be functioning on A0 when using it with the SparkFun RedBoard Turbo under MakeCode Beta site.

To Reproduce
When attaching a piezo buzzer to the DAC on A0, it does not seem to work. "Adafruit Circuit Playground Express" seems to work on pin A0.

  1. Drag the Music > play sound "ba ding"code block.
  2. Insert into the forever loop.

Expected behavior
The board should make a sound when the code executes the forever loop. Specifically a coin sound effect.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in the MakeCode Beta site on a SparkFun RedBoard Turbo with a piezo buzzer connected to A0, using the Music > play sound "ba ding" block inside a forever loop. Compare the result with an Adafruit Circuit Playground Express; done means the RedBoard Turbo produces the expected coin sound on A0.
