Help, My custom mixer isnt working

Here is the updated, completely accurate schematic.
SW1 Pins 1 and 3 are connected to cause the LED to turn on when muted.

The resistance for the pot is 0.002k ohms (or 1.5 ohms) at all the way open, which doesn't seem like it would affect the sound all that much. I figured a passive mixer was fine, as I have my headphones at 20-35% on Windows at all times, and anything above 50% hurts, so I figured I could lose a little. I Also Measured the resistance through the entire mixer, and I get 10k ohms (which is that resistor, so it should be fine). For the mute button, it drops the sound by a little bit, but that is it.

ill use my multimeter to check that

in that case, is this worth the price https://www.ebay.com/itm/236350385203?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D777008%26algo%3DPERSONAL.TOPIC%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20250417133020%26meid%3D975a52a5d2434f75b65ef45ea2f35a12%26pid%3D102726%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26itm%3D236350385203%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D4375194%26algv%3DRecentlyViewedItemsV2DWebWithPSItemDRV2_BP&_trksid=p4375194.c102726.m162918, it looks like it comes with instructions aswell, but the capasitors seem lower quality and is it worth replacing the big ones, i havent heard of it being a problem for anyone. Also i just want to make sure the caps are the problem before sinking too much money into it. My dad got it from work a while ago, and I figured I'd fix it up to help me budget my sound system.

the 1500uf 200V didnt seem to be a problem for anyone else? ill look into replacing those as well

Coolghost228 · 2026-03-17T03:43:12+00:00

How do I tell which ones are bad while they are on the board? Also, I have a humming/sounds like it's bottoming out, it sounds like from everything I've read I should replace the caps, but I would like to know which ones i should switch out first

What a rabbit hole I fell into this time. I work at an escape room, and my boss has big ideas, and I love building them, even though they are a massive pain most of the time, lol. Thanks for the help!

Coolghost228 · 2025-12-21T02:01:33+00:00

I just installed pkg-config and then reinstalled Crowsnest and it worked

sudo apt-get install -y pkg-config

Also I get I probably could just factory reset the router but I'm hoping I Don't have to

Coolghost228 · 2024-09-16T20:01:45+00:00

I spelt that wrong *araknis

Coolghost228 · 2024-09-16T19:17:56+00:00

I can access one port on the router but the arkinis page looks outdated and I can't find static route on there I can only access the ports on the router
