I would be interested in seeing some more photos of the headphone jack wiring. 

Your DC voltages are where they are supposed to be, so this is most likely an issue with the wiring from the input jacks to the 9 pin socket, or possibly from the rear 5 lug terminal strip to the HP jack.

One of the black wires on that headphone jack isn't captured by solder.

Nice, that solved my channel issue, although now listening carefully I hear some noise, like interference on a radio, could this be cause by a cable with an insulation burned off?
Maybe some of these two could be causing the problem

A6 is not soldered.

What are you using to feed the Crack?  If it's a PC or USB powered DAC, there's a modification stickied for that on the Crack part of the forum.  If you're not using a source that presents those issues, it could just be proximity to a WiFi or cellular device, and a few extra feet of space would make a big difference.

Hi, sorry to keep bothering but i did some other stuff i found in the forum. First a crackling popping noise started coming from the left channel (volume dependant) so i reheated every joint but it didn't solve it completely and after that i used a wooden stick to see any terminal from were the problem might come from and tried re soldering those but now terminals 6 and 10 have a capacitor like resistance instead of 0, do you know any place were solder may be misplaced that could cause that?

If you have no headphones plugged into the Crack, terminals 6 and 10 will show 0 ohms.
