Hi
i'm having an issue with a project i'm working on. It sounds very muffled and low volume until i "touch" one of the capacitor: then it sounds as it is supposed to....
If i just touch it it keeps sounding godd for about 2-3 seconds, then it gets the same crap. If i keep on touching it keeps working fine.
I understand this may sound odd, and i think the problem is on that cap, but what abou it? Is it just broken? Not grounded?
thanks for your hints.
bye

Check your solder joints on that cap, you probs just have a dry joint, if this doesnt help change the cap.
