PCM2912A: Poor quality, sound crackling when volume changes

Part Number: PCM2912A

Hello! I made a board with all the nominal components as presented in the datasheet. It works, but not as I expected. When I change the volume, I hear some crackling. In addition, I measured the cycle from exit to entry, and the results are not good. I think I have some problems with the design of my board. I show below the top layer, the bottom layer is ground.

  • Hi Sergey,

    Welcome to e2e Forum.

    I will review the attached board design details by Monday and will have my initial feedback. In case I need additional clarification, I will ask for the same. Thanks.

    Best regards,

  • Hi Sergey,

    The issue is most likely related to the output filter for the headphone amp. Please make sure the board follows the suggested layout guidelines and we will see the improvements in performance. Thanks.
