I have always used pin 20 for ground when I wire next to the audio pins 21, 22. I have not looked at the physical URI inside but I would guess maybe there is a poor contact to your pin 13. You might try ohm'ing that out. The shell should also be tied to the same point. While the schematic shows pin 13 as the shortest ground that is not representative of the real circuit. <br id="FontBreak"></font><br><b><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4">73 Doug</font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4">WA3DSP</font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4">http://www.crompton.com/hamradio</font></b><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><br><br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">From: kj6qfs@gmail.com<br>Date: Sat, 1 Nov 2014 02:41:09 -0700<br>To: arm-allstar@hamvoip.org<br>Subject: Re: [arm-allstar] URI audio noise<br><br><div>You wouldn't believe it!

<div dir="ltr"><font style="" color="#000000" face="Tahoma,sans-serif">Sam,<br><br> A scope would be real helpful in tracing this. It sounds like switching power supply noise. This could also come from a fan as many small fans used for rig cooling are actually AC fans with internal switchers. I have often seen this type of EMI and a RC filter works well in that case. About a 30-50 Ohm resistor in series and a 500-1000uf cap to ground on the 12V lead to the fan.<br><br>I don't think this is a normal thing with the URI or a large number of us would be seeing it on our systems. Something specific to your setup is causing it. With all of your tests I think I would rule out a ground loop or power supply to the BBB.<br id="ecxFontBreak"></font><br><b><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4">73 Doug</font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4">WA3DSP</font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><a href="http://www.crompton.com/hamradio" target="_blank">http://www.crompton.com/hamradio</a></font></b><font style="font-size:16pt;" size="4"><br></font><br><br><div><hr id="ecxstopSpelling">Date: Fri, 31 Oct 2014 14:06:54 -0700<br>From: <a href="mailto:kj6qfs@gmail.com">kj6qfs@gmail.com</a><br>To: <a href="mailto:arm-allstar@hamvoip.org">arm-allstar@hamvoip.org</a><br>Subject: [arm-allstar] URI audio noise<br><br><div dir="ltr">Hello again to all, <div>I've interfaced a DMK URI to an RLC-4 Repeater controller.
