Re: What's wrong with my homemade box?

You mean when you have the plug halfway in and remove it? Well, who
cares? That's not a usable state. You may not be inserting it far
enough to open the normalling switch contacts.

No no. It goes like this:

1) No jack in socket. Signal flows to the mixer

2) I plug a jack completely in the socket. Signal doesn't flow to the
mixer, but to the soundcard instead.

3) I remove the jack completely from the socket, and though
everythings mechanically is exactly like 1. there is hum and/or sound
drop outs.

4) I turn of the synth and wait, and without changing anything, it
workes again. I won't help to turn it off for a short while, Ill have
to give it some time. Like something has to discharge.

Somehow this swiching around cables changes something electrically
inside my boxes. I don't understand how that is possible?
