LM3886 and DPDT switch

[Dino-Indo]

Dear friends,

Would appreciate your kind help...

I was trying to add a 3.5mm Stereo RCA socket to my gainclone LM3886, providing her with 2 options of signal inputs, i.e. from my Non OS DAC and another one from iPod or MP3 player.

Was trying to apply a DPDT switch with the connection as per attached picture... strangely, only left channel sings... right channel just silent!

Am I connecting it wrong?

Sounds like you have a short somewhere on the right channel. Your wiring on the switch looks OK to me.

Hi,

Looks like a cold solder on the switch, if both source do not work check the right channel connection on the switch (middle contact) or simply bypass the switch with a alligator clip to see if the switch is the problem. Also make sure the gnd for all 4 inputs are tied together since they do not pass through the switch.

Your wiring circuit is OK.

Possibly the 3.5mm jack is on the case metal, and you by mistake used the ground lug for one channel? It *is* a stereo-3.5mm jack, right? Three solder lugs?

Dear All!!
Many thanks for your kind help!!

Yep... confirmed... I did somethin' foolish.. one of the feet of the DPDT switch was connected to other feet by a tiny loose cable!!
Probably I was just too hurry to finish the 3.5mm iPod connection with my minus 3.5 eyeglasses... haiyaah!!

Lesson learnt for me: "Tidy up Dino!!"
Hahahaha................
Again.... many thanks!!
