Far from being a newbie, but this has me feeling like one. Connecting a projector's audio to an amp.
This is the current, working set-up. Using two 3 ft stereo cables, 1/8th males and a few adapters to reach the amp's 1/4" mic input. From the projector's audio out, to a female 1/8th which is split to 2 RCA males. These go into a similar adapter with two RCA females merging to a 1/8th female into which the second cable goes and is fitted with a 1/8 to 1/4 adapter.
Then I got tired of fidling aroud each time I need one of the adapters and the cables were barely long enough so I got a long one with a 1/4" at one end and a 1/8 at the other. Problem solved? You would think so, but all I get is white noise. The cable is fine, I tried it in 2 diferent connections, one on my pc and one in a digital piano. worked fine.
Then I put my wiring jig back in and it's quiet as a mouse.
Whats the deal? I'm at a loss to explain it.
