That is really interesting. I wonder what is going on there. There shouldn't be anything that has that much of a draw. I can definitely say though that it is not the wifi dongle. Interesting...I would have assumed it WAS his Wifi dongle! I know that some of them draw enough power that even on a Pi ...

I think I might have found my issue. After looking at your last post, I noticed on the GB Wheel you had your first connection going to L on the sound card. I saw this from someone else and it looks like it is backward for R and L. Well, you should be able to swap L and R without any problems, as lo...

Got mine, looks great! Thanks again!

Is there and reason you used LIN (left channel on the amp) instead of RIN? I used RIN which is why I ask to make sure that doesn't matter in my connection. Nope, just picked one. I'd really rather send in both signals and let the amp return a mono signal if possible...I've noticed that in some game...

Now with labels! See if this helps...

Is the headphone jack for R + L OUT cables from the Volume Wheel and the USB Sound Card is for IN cables? I have my R + L cables from the headphone jack going to the R + L OUT of the GB Volume Wheel and I have my R + L cables from my USB Sound Card going to the IN in my wheel. Maybe we're getting o...

Yeah, the reason it keeps coming in and out is because I was adjusting the wheel during the video. At certain places while I turn the wheel, the volume will just go muted. Yeah that sounds like a bad connection somewhere...all the solder points look good though? If you give each of the wires a tug ...

I am thinking you are saying I should I should reverse my connections for my volume wheel (indicated by the purple line)? No, I think you need to swap the wires going into the volume control. The four leads on the volume control, you have the left two going to the headphone jack the right two going...

But now, the speaker has static and the headphone jack doesnt work. Is there help you could give me? I think it has something to do with my Ground connections. Just FYI, I had to flip my GB Volume wheel so that is why the connections are backwards from your diagram. I flipped the GB Volume wheel ar...

Nope, any 5V connection on the control board is the same 5V so you only need to hook up one.

I actually did end up coming OUT of the 5V GPIO on the Pi and it works great!
