Problem with Esp32s3 in edge impluse code arduino

Question/Issue:
I need some help. I am trying to create a project that recognizes voice and responds using esp32s3, inmp441, max98357a and arduino ide. I used edge impluse to create the voice recognition and when I tested the example code it worked. But when I add the answer feedback when the voice is detected, I don’t get the answer from the speaker. Although I tried the speaker separately before, it worked fine. Here is my code:

Hi @dxc3012

We dont really do this level of support but I can see you have not implemented any initialisation for the AudioOutputI2S speaker in the setup() function.

Best
