So in the saga of my N64 portable creating problems. . .
After I fried the on board audio amp, I had to come up with a different method. Take the feed to the headphone jack, then put the output feed from that, to an ebay ipod amplifier thing.
This one to be more precise.

Not that I imagine it makes much odds.
Stripped it down, identified all the important things, wired it up and it works.
But the audio, has a lot of "chatter". Briefly got it sound a bit cleaner, but no matter what I do, trying different grounds etc, it just gives this poor chattery sound over the top.
Any thoughts on how to get some nice clean sound, or this is going to become a 100% headphone only project which I will be quite disappointed by. . .
For reference, I tested it on my ipod first, and it worked fine. So something some where along the line is causing this poor sound quality.
Note aswell: The headphones work fine, so it can only be the amp or something along the line there, maybe need another cap. for smoothing?
All help, advice and crackpot theories welcome. . .
