Verify My Audio Circuit Will be Usable.

Hi,

I’m pretty noobish when it comes to audio circuits so I wanted to verify this before I pull the trigger and purchase the parts.

I am making a small mic and speaker set up that I can use to record and also play sounds through a custom handset.

The entire circuit will be powered and run by a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W. The speaker will be an 8ohm 0.5W Mylar speaker that will be connected to a PAM8403. The microphone will be through a MAX9814 Electret Microphone Amplifier module. Both of those will connect to the pi via a
Sabrent AU-MMSA 2.1 USB sound card.
Can you please ensure that this set-up will work. All help is appreciated!

I can link where I plan to get all this if required. Thanks. :)

This setup is not simply "Plug & Play".
Whether it works or not will depend on your experience with all the selected Modules
and the characterization of what You refer to as "it works", ( with no performance-specifications at all ).

If this is your first Electronics project,
the chances of it just "working" are slim to none, for at least ~50 different reasons.

More destabilize edit: details about your modules and how you plant to connect them will help us understand whether it will work and what might be done to improve things.

I have ignored the other person who responded as I had a big spiel about arrogance and treating those who know less with some decency typed out, but figured it was easier to just ignore them and move on. If you end up seeing this, I wont be able to see any more of your responses.

Thanks for your response! Can I just clarify what you mean by that? Do mean where/how I am physically connecting the components to each other? Or more the communication between them? Or even neither at all! I can elaborate on both just let me know :)

I am essentially completely self-taught from trial and error and online forums like this so I might be slow in understanding exactly what you mean but I am capable of understanding eventually.

thanks!

The title says “circuit.” All you have given us is a parts list. That is not a circuit. Some circuits might work, others definitely will not.

What I do not see within the description is how the raspberry processor fits into an audio system.Or where the sound card comes in to play. Over the years I have designed and had others build a whole lot of complex systems, and in every case, before things were purchased or pulled from stock, and before even much detailed design was done, two things were created: First, a description of what the system would achieve, and then, second, but even a bit more important, a description of how it would do it. After that came the description of the parts that would go into the system.

So far we have a basic description of the parts ans a general description of how some of them are intended to connect.
BUT no statement of what the assemblage would actually do, or achieve. Nor do we have a description of how it would achieve those results. Those are rather important in assuring that any connected collection of block can provide the desired results.
It is quite likely that the TS has those in mind, possibly in great detail. But, as others are frequently reminded, I am not able to read minds, neither in close proximity nor at larger distances. So I need words and possibly drawings, like possibly block diagrams, to describe an arrangement that would provide the results, which also need to be described.
