Hello All:

I have a funny feeling I'm doing something wrong... There are two wires coming from the edge connector that read 'speaker +' and 'speaker -', but when I connect them, I get very quiet sound. You can barely hear it.
Now, I noticed that another board (with the volume control attached) brings in - what looks like - a ground wire to the mix. So now there are three wires attached to this volume control - Ground, speaker in, and speaker out to the speaker. I tried to connect it that way and I don't get a difference...
What is the correct way? Anything I've ever seen that has two speaker wires get connected directly to the speaker...

Thanks in advance,
Bob (PacFan)
