Ok, if you can do that, then you have a good debug start point. Now try to output
square wave, then try simple .wav speech file (downloaded through CCS into DSP
memory).

Maybe you have an issue with sign-extension or left-justification. You say the sine
wave works -- what was the maximum value? How many bits can your codec support? One
problem I had once was the codec needed to see 14 bits left-justified, but I was
feeding it 16-bit values. For a sine-wave that didn't matter too much, but when I
played speech I could hear some "fuzz". When you try the .wav speech file, try using
a low amplitude level first, like +/-4000, then go up from there.

Well, you are learning about the art of debug -- and the value of online tech groups.
Definitely you don't need a consultant for this. What you have to do is start with
something simple that works, go step-by-step on a steady path from that point, and
continue posting your results and questions to online tech groups. You are fortunate
that basic sine wave output appears to be working -- although I would make dead
certain of that, for example try different frequencies, vary the amplitude, try a
square wave, etc.
