Need help with a Random Audio Switcher

Hello diyAudio Community,

i have a problem with a circuit maybe you can help me with.

I need for an exhibition an audio switch which switches 9 inputs to 1 output at a random rate. Only 1 input at the time is active.

The input is stereo via 3.5mm jack so is the output.

The problem i have is that i have a really bad crosstalk on the channels

I use an ADG409 for the switching an atmega328 as a controller
Vdd is 5v Vss is tied to GND

What can I do to remove the crosstalk / noise ?

Your inputs swing above and below common.

The switch chip is powered with +5V and common, and does not do a right thing when inputs go outside this range.

I am thinking that all negative swings on all inputs are breaking-over inside the switch chip.

You could R-C couple all inputs and outputs to a mid-way voltage reference.

You could re-arrange the whole power scheme centered +/- around common; this does complicate the logic interfacing.

Frankly, since the board is built and you have 12V, _I_ would get 9 electromechanical relays to do the audio, coils driven by DC power through the ADG switches (backward). It is klunky but gets the project finished quick.
