I have an odd issue with an LM386 amp I just wired up. I'm using the reference schematic from the datasheet for a 200 gain amp (minus the 10k resistor). The input is quite low, so even with the pot turned to max, I can just barely make out the source audio through the noise. Yet if I touch a lead on the pot, the gain increases considerably. I'm new to this (shocker), but any help keeping the volume up would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Thanks.
