MK174 Single Message/Playback sound problem (White Noise)

Hi, I was hoping that someone could help me, I have bought and fixed together the MK174 Single Message/Playback, it all seems to work the LED lights up and the buttons seem to work, however when I record a sound and play it back all i get is like a white noise sound and a whistling.

Please can someone help me

Thanks

Most likely assembly problem.
If you can provide links to HI_RES and SHARP pics of both component and solderside, we can take a look at your assembly.

here are the pics

Hope you will be able to help me

As we suspected, soldering looks rather poor.
Redo each soldering. Make sure solder flows nicely.

Hi,

It looks like you have a short between pins 7 and 8 on IC1 as well as pins 10 and 11 of IC1

Thankyou for the helpful advise, I resoldered everything and now it works great, just another question any way of making ut a little louder, if not no worrys, but once agina thank you for the help. you have been a life saver

You could add a little amp. We have a number of them in our range (e.g. K8066, K4001, etc…)
Make sure to use a separate power supply for the amp.
