Hi everyone. I have a question - asking for opinion, really - about a lot of hissing that I get from my GameCube. I just built a small amp with a stereo amplifier chip, the LM4880, and it's surprisingly efficient, but it has a hissing problem with my GameCube. At any level of volume, some hissing is audible, but it does change with the volume knob. The hissing is also not present when using other devices to input sound. So, the hissing is coming from the GameCube (kind of strange) and is coming from the AV chip before it hits the pre-amp. I even get a considerable about of noise from an un-modified GameCube that is still in its shell? It must be some kind of interference, but what do most people know to cause that? My wires are scattered about, but from what I can tell, none are so close as to cause such loud hissing (it is bad with headphones). Just any helpful advice would be nice, if someone knows about it.
