I built a DIY sampler and it is working well except one thing. I hear a high pitched whine when using it. The pitch of the whine changes when I move the pot that controls clock speed. With no audio going into the device I look at the output and see a periodic signal which changes frequency as I change the clock pot. It's ~60mv p2p.
Also, if I measure with my scope with the probe ground attached to the input power ground terminal and then my signal probe at the ground pin of the clock chip, I see that periodic signal. I guess that surprised me, but I'm also a newbie.
Just looking for hints on where to possibly look, or if this is just normal behavior that maybe can be tempered a bit, but not eliminated? Other folks have built this and don't seem to be having this issue, so I figure I did something wrong. I've gone over the solder joints many times and it looks OK to my eyes. I've also eliminated the 9v wall wart I'm using having anything to do with it by using a 9v battery and my Rigol bench supply. Same issue in all cases.
If this is too broad of a question, I can give more details.
Any guidance greatly appreciated!
