Headphoneus Supremus
I am in midst of building a Cmoy. I am testing it now. I have my source and headphones hooked up and such. But...
I am getting (decent) sound from only the left channel about a quarter of the time. My assumption is the I am having trouble hooking up that alligator clips on my amp.
I cannot really get both ground clips on the ground line. My jumper is only large enough for one clip and my resistors are arrange differently (due to the large cap) so I can't hook it up there either. And everything is just screwy due to improv jumpers, etc. Worst of all I do have a multimeter but I am strongly doubting its accuracy because first it read a 9v battery as nil then all of a sudden said "oh yeah, 9 volts". So testing with that MIGHT not help much.
So here are my questions:
Why would I only be getting sound from the left channel?
Why is it only giving me clear sound about a quarter of the time? (I assume bad alligator connections)
Should I just continue on with the amp? or how should I fix it?
