I installed an 1/8" jack to my cgb last night.. after soldering it and putting it all back together, the stock headphone jack still worked fine but I only had sound in the left ear through the new jack.
I opened it up again today. A soldered pin on the new jack, the side that wasn't getting sound, looked like crap so I re did it. I still only have sound in the left side there, but now the sound has cut out in the stock jack on the opposite side.
All the soldering jobs by pot and new jack look fine, so what else could be wrong here?

I have this nagging feeling that you should make sure your wires on the board go to the correct pins on the jack. I have used to mess this up all the time.

i've looked it over again and and the wires are connected where they should be... however i noticed that the new jack is getting sound on both sides, just that one side is barely hearable compared to the other. The stock jack is still only plays through one ear, but whats weird is that the usual high pitched humming sound of the cgb is coming out both sides of it. o.0
