How to wire up LM386 amp for audio?

hi-

thanks again for keeping with the thread! (its hard being new and waiting DAYS to trouble shoot a simple LM386 circuit!) haha

I'l add in the 10uF cap and see what happens..

oops..sorry yes that trace SHOULD have have the label to GND like the others..

knowing that now.. is my original wiring diagram correct then? if not.. Im still missing how what you did is electronically different?
if it is ok.... then thanks for clarifying for me. =)

I think the PIC project must be using some PWM to emulate sound? (not sure as the firmware is closed/isnt mine).... and there is no DAC or anything.. (but I dont need/want super quality sound.. average FX type sounds are fine enough)

adding cap now!

update:
adding the GAIN cap.. 'made it work'.. must have not been enough signal to play/hear anything?

Well Im glad that part is at least tackled. =)

Thanks everyone for sticking with me/this.

Now.. Id like to learn how to make it better sounding? Is there where all the resistors/caps and stuff used to make 'filters' come into play?

I understand the general idea.. using resistors/compoenents to filter out bad freq. in the signal..things we dont hear or ranges we dont want to?

etc.

Thanks
