Wiring difficulties gone COOL

Today I was hooking up an audio amplifier (lm386n) to play with the vocal demos. I was having trouble with the typical capacitive connection (pops, hisses, just not clean sound), but discovered that just having the wire in the row just outside of the DIP next to pin 1 provided a very clean sound without any hookups to the chip directly. all that was hooked to the amp was power, ground, and speaker.
A testament to breadboard Capacitance?

Who says you have to have knowledge to use it?

Forrest, I can't see how it wouldn't be a good breadboard, I have continuity where it's supposed to be, and the printed surface on the backing sticker is intact.
I was merely pointing out something cool.

Since pin 1 and pin 8 control gain, you can affect the output by coupling to pin 1 in the way that you are doing.
Default gain is only 20 for the LM386.· By placing a 10uF cap across pins 1 (+ cap)and pins 8 (-cap)·your gain
will increase to 200.
I changed the pin1 on my schematic to pin2, but it still holds true.· You can use pin 2 (inverted)·or Pin 3 (non-inverted)
it should·not matter in this case, but·whatever pin you are not using·needs to go to GND or·Vs/2.

directly from the propeller (even with an R/C divider) we're talking about
1V p-p or thereabouts. With 20x gain you're going to be clipping all over the
place.
