thank you for the fast reply. My breadboard is exactly the same, except it has SCK MISO MOSI and RESET all wired to the corresponding pins in the ISP. I would give you more detail but i sent the whole breadboard to my friends house for testing. he got some simple sound to work using basic, but then tried to use bascom and it wont make any sound. there is no errors whatsoever, later when my friend is back online i may be able to provide pictures. other than connecting the ISP to the chip, absolutely nothing else is changed(actualy there is no resistor between the chip and the speaker). There is no sound coming out of the speaker, i tried to put an LED in the output chip and to ground and the LED does not light up. If you ask me nothing is coming out of the output pin. Keep in mind the code is exactly the same. I do not know if the AVR is being programed, nothing is telling me that its not being programed
