Hello,

would someone confirm my mistakes on this TDA7850 schematic??
There is a ground loop isolator BA3121 on inputs and softstart mosfet to limit inrush current.
Ignition/remote ON provides a buzzing noise, as soon as engine or cabin heater/fan starts you can hear the whine amplified trough speakers….
Any tip is welcome :)

The good old BA3121 is a life saver. 

FL- and FR- don’t seem to be going anywhere? If i remember correctly, you should feed the FL- and FR- to the VM1 and VM2. The BA3121 will convert the differential audio signal to single ended audio for the TDA7850

The OP didn’t ask where to purchase the BA3121 but instead asked for help with his schematic and ground loop issue.
