Hello and piece........:)

I foud this circuit on the internet and acording to my experience in electronics i see that i must work, so i transferred this to EAGLE and made a PCB for it, but when i connect a 9V (not from batt.) it started to produce weird sounds like a 555 time connected to a speaker and when i change the volume (potentiometer) the frequncy of the pulses changerd like 555 timer, but i barely could hear my vioce amplified.
What i sould to to fix my PCB?
Pleaze help!!!........:(

If anybody wants the EAGLE file i am ready to send, but give me your mail.
Thank you all................;)

Tank you.
This is the first time to me and I don't know what are polls....
I will try the decoupling cap, should use bypass caps?

Shall I use a battery?

I would try a battery first to ensure that the problem is because of the power supply. Then, I would condition the output from the power supply and use it.

If the micriphone can hear the speaker then it will produce acoustical feedback howling as a sound goes around and around. When the volume control is turned down then the feedback howling will stop.

Try it with the speaker in another room with the door shut.

I Hello, thanks to all.
I added some decoupling capacitors every thing worker fine and clear.But when
i boxed it in a project box is stopped producing any sounds , not even nois.
And when i shorted pin 5 and 6 together i amplified sounds but the ic became hot
and the sound was unclear, so whats the problem and can i fix it?
Thanks.....

The datasheet shows that pin6 is the positive power supply pin and pin 5 is the output pin.
You should NEVER short the output of a power amplifier to its power supply.
You probably destroyed the IC.

It was working good when i shorted 6 and 5, but became hot.

i just heared sound when i shorted them?!.....

It is highly related to the passive components out.....and connections......

Can any body Help me please i still don't know what to do......

i think it is from a capacitor

You shorted the output to the positive power supply so the LM386 is probably blown up.
Simply fix the wiring and replace the LM386 IC.

I shorted it but not damage it, i still works.....
How did you reach that conclusion? What tests have you done to confirm the LM386 is ok?

And what did you conclude after you shorted those terminals?
