Title: Why does my headphone jack install look different?
Post by: Spharticus on August 03, 2021, 01:26:56 PM

In a post from last year (search for Topic: Buzzing in Right Channel - Damaged Headphone Jack?) it looks like the resistors are both terminating on the middle outside post of the headphone jack. My setup, directions, picture in the manual has the resistors parallel to the top and middle (my picture below). I'm asking cause in the post, I don't see anyone saying that it's wrong. I have the 'white noise and crackling in one channel' of my crack w/speedball so I'm researching to see what's up. I've reflowed the 6 solders on the headphone jack, but not where they connect to on the terminal strips yet.

Thanks

The resistors going across the jack horizontally are part of the 1.1 update which shorts the output to ground when no headphones are plugged in, which is a good thing!
