the different blocks in the MS3.

MobileSound 3 Audio Suite has been started, activate the MS3 EV-board by
performing the following steps in the block diagram in the upper left corner:
1. Go to “File -> Open -> I2C Settings”. Browse to the folder “…
demosettings” which is located in the installation directory of
MobileSound 3 Audio Suite. Select an initialization file. Check that the
communication status indicator in the bottom left corner is green. If it
is red, this indicates that the I2C connection is not working properly.

audio amplifiers are enabled.
