Is there any sound board modules that work with the cortex microcontroller?
Can you explain a bit more about what you’re trying to do? Also, can you clarify if you mean Cortex or the V5 Brain?

Im talking about this VEX ARM® Cortex®-based Microcontroller - VEX Robotics
I want a external board I can connect to the microcontroller and have multiple sounds play with differnt triggers. Ive tried the sound stuff built in to the micrcontroller but im wanting to have a addon board.
Great, thanks for clarifying. The Cortex microcontroller is actually quite capable from an I/O standpoint, having both 2 UART ports as well as an I2C port in addition to its standard digital I/O. Looking around, I found this board from adafruit that looks like it would work for your use case:
You can either control it from the digital trigger pins or through UART.

I’ve used this board back in the Cortex era. It’s pretty simple to use. She has another sound board (the mini version that you could use).
Sparkfun is another place to check for audio boards. They have a pretty decent collection and most of them will work with a digital signal (like the digital ports on the Cortex).
Please come back and post what you finally ended up with.
