Hi,
I just finished building my first Yusynth VCO module, but I have absolutely no sound at the 4 outputs.
I'm using a LM394H (the one with the metal can).
The board is getting 12V (yes, I built the 12v version), I am not an expert so I truly don't know what to do next.

I checked the pin of the LM394H while powering it, and I have 10v between pin 1 and 3, and 8v between pin 4 and 6.
The tempco is well connected, and the thermal coupling is, I think, good enough.

Please help me !

I just replaced the LM394 with two BC547C, and still no sound what so ever...

What do I have to check to isolate the problem ?
Thanks

The LM311p is getting pretty hot when under tension...

Always start out by checking all of the voltages you use. The voltages should be checked at the IC power pins because if there's a bad connection from the rail to the chip and you check the rail then you don't know about the fail at the chip. "no sound" can easily be a power problem.

Thanks for the awnser,
I just checked all the power pins of all the ICs, and they are all getting between 11v and 12v, except the lm394 which is getting 0,5v...

I have 10.5v at the lm394 now...
I truly don't know what to do, I made 3 PCB at the same time, pluged the second one and still no sound is produced..

Maybe post some pics of your pcb and maybe write measurements you already made into the schematics and post it here too…

Do you have an oscilloscope?

do u have a signal there?
if u have a static voltage there, is it changing if u move the freq-pots?
