I noticed that this happened to one of my DMG's also after I did a pro-sound mod myself. I did the standard extra jack modification using nonfinite's kit. It definitely exhibits the same symptoms you describe... horrible samples, clicking, distortion. You might even notice that if you're playing a song and mute the wav channel, you'll still hear the clicking. That, to me, is the worst part about the problem. I was emailing kitsch back and forth for a while about something else and threw this question out there during the exchange, and he said he's had this problem at some point and couldn't find a way to fix it. According to him, he even tried soldering an output jack directly to the IC and still got the same effect. He believes it's something in the DMG-CPU that causes it, and he suggested the only way to fix it is get a different gameboy :-/ It's a bummer, but that's all I know about it so far.

I should note that I only *noticed* it after I did the mod... It could very well have been there before, I'm not sure...

On the other hand, you could use the unique sound to your advantage somehow. Weren't the first distorted guitar amps basically just broken?
