no idea how can you laugh, proud of you can speak one language ?
Another pitfall of a new comer!
We are all here in goodwill to help and assist each other, we joke and exchange ideas and make fun of Google (unless you are related somehow to Larry Page) or any other funny thing we come across. No need to be offensive as this is a music related platform. Show some respect and FYI "proud of me can speak 6 languages"

Yeah I didn't see nothing wrong with the fun towards Google ... I mean it's Google...they can take a joke. 😏

Unplug the DV and take it away from all your gear and just plug in your phone with its stock tubes and start from there.

That's where I would start. Seeing how the product behaves on its own (without anything else connected but a power cord) would be my first stop.

Maybe not the best place to ask, but since you are already here :): I am using and iDefender with an iPower which helped me getting rid of a very obvious noise in the USB-powered Khadas board (thank you!), but why do I need to unplug and plug the Khadas back into the iDefender every time I turn my PC on (otherwise the sound is barely coming through)?

All done. I've cut the line outs. Replaced the RCA wire and redid the soldering on the pot. Noise is gone. Although I feel as if the power output dropped. Doesn't get as loud as it did before. Any ideas why ?
Nice job. Explain more of the output drop that you are experiencing, such as always maxing out the volume or you feel it’s not as dynamic or is lifeless, etc.

The alps will of course give you a more smooth sweep. So on a quiet track, you may actually be near max volume but ideally 75% is plenty loud enough with music that has been properly mixed. Also, the resistances should be more accurate between channels at higher volumes.

Just overall output power, volume, etc. Still dynamic, cleaner but before this I had a pretty poor soldering job and a very high noise floor. Buzz after 12 o clock but 11 was a good listening volume. Now I have to max out for the same pressure level. I'll debug tomorrow. Guests have arrived.
