What happens if you download sine wave file to DSP memory, then run some code that
plays the .wav data directly to codec? You should use an precise waveform so you
know what to expect, and then look at what the codec outputs using a digital scope.
With a sine wave, if the codec messes up, you can see it more clearly.

My guess is McBSP0 is not initialized correctly for the OKI codec. Maybe polarity of
clock, framesync pulse width (N-bit delay), other setting. Did you ask OKI for
reference example for TI DSPs? Any McBSP code initialization they can give you would
be helpful.

I don't think you need a consultant to fix this problem. You guys just have to debug
more.
