...is not exactly noisy in my case, at all.
First of all I would like to thank all you peeps who contribute here!
Anyway, my noisy cricket makes no sound (no noise at all).
I haven't connected a speaker, only the headphone socket, so could that be the problem?

Voltages on LM386 is where it gets weird:
pin 8: 0
pin 7: 0
pin 6: 8.49
pin 5: 8.48
pin 4: 8.49
pin 3: 7.93
pin 2: 7.74
pin 1: 8.99
Did I perhaps burn the IC ? Any easy way to test it?

Messy wiring :( :

https://i.imgur.com/U0lNhiH.jpgCan you please tell me what's the correct wiring for this Tayda 3.5mm stereo socket ? (
https://www.taydaelectronics.com/3-5mm-low-profile-stereo-audio-jack.html , the datasheet shows only which part is which only on the side and not on the actual socket, so I used a wiring scheme for another similar socket, so it's wired: left = ring, middle = sleeve, right = tip)
Please excuse the poor soldering, it's still one of my first veros after all :(
And also those weird temporary insulation methods that use tape...
Instead of MPF102, I used a BF256B, flipped on the opposite side. Voltages:
D: 8.99V
S: 2.25V
G: 0V
Also, instead of the bass switch, I just wired a 47nF cap between sw wire and vol 3.
Thanks a lot for your help!
