I was actually hoping somebody else with more IR Blaster experience
would answer. I have not used IR Blaster myself yet but would advise you
to check these steps:
- did IR Blaster work previously? How did it stop? Did it become more
and more unreliable, or did it fail at one point?
- if you are trying to set it up for the first time, did you ensure
the polarity and connections on the headphone jack are correct with
respect to the IR diode?
- if you point your smartphone's camera (in video mode), or any video
camera, towards the IR emitter diode, do you see faint purple flashes
while IR commands are being sent? (please compare to a known-working
IR remote control to verify your camera is picking up the infrared
light)
- does the headphone jack of your SB3 work properly when being used as
a regular headphone output? If the left channel is missing, that would
be the same pin that drives the IR diode...
Hope this might help you a bit.
Cheers,
Joe
