If rightside is bass amp that seems master on that 2.1 board, for synch they filter befor pcbtrace to slave then, so looks like they maybe got confused by datasheet gainsetting chapter??? I did switch these resistors soldering my first 3116 ampboard too but maybe that is reason I seem to see mixed master/slave gainsetting on your pic that might not be real LOL
I don't believe using coupled output inductors is possible with the TPA.
(edit, oh wait, that's a PBTL amp...)
Let me ponder that some more.

The transformer converts your wall voltage to 170 and 6.3 volts AC, not DC.
The power supply within the amp will rectify the 170 volts AC to around
230 (?) volts DC...this is the B+ voltage for the tubes.
The 6.3 volts AC is for the tube heaters.
You're better off with a separate power supply for the TPA3116 amp.

Thanks Mike. I was afraid of that. I need a bigger case then but that should not be a problem. Back to the drawing board 🙂
very neat
but (pardon the ignorance) what does it do.
It is very clean.
It is a TPA3116, you said,My selfmade PCB for

No soldering?? Good looking PCB though.

Nice design! How is there no soldering? I see several thru hole components and
I assume you are using oven re-flow which is what you mean by no (manual) soldering? Why are there 4 electrolytic caps on the front end?
I modded two YJ blue black board as a pbtl. Removed left caps and tied solder pads to ground. Replaced power caps with 220uf silmics.. Input caps are 1.5uf ESA. Both pcb has snubber mod.
When I power up the boards, there was a distorted sound. Disconnected immediately. I power up boards with 19v 6.3A laptop brick.
Before modding both boards was working properly. I checked my work step by step.. Couldn't find anything. Any idea?

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

negative input capacitors?
Tried with negative input caps in place, same behaviour...
Both +Lin and -Lin are DC grounded?
Yes. Checked triple times.. before power up...
negative input needs same capacitor as positive input, chip needs capacitor befor gnd/chassis(preamp/source), if there had been a capacitor bottomside I would expect your wire to be mounted topside pcb, not on chip side but after capacitor.
Irribeo, I followed this guide;

In link negative cap is connected to source/preamp gnd, you can try that to see if it is noisier or quieter, but you need the capacitor.

Now soldering))) Manual.
4 electrolytic caps for DC decoupling input.
Sorry, my english is bad((

Irribeo, I corrected my mistake. Soldered identical caps to positive and negative inputs. Same behaviour.. Only distortion at zero volume. Is it possible to be no cap at the negative side damaged IC?
Please measure the voltage at the In+-R/L pins, they should be around 1.5Vdc and all the same. (Behind the caps)
