Phat Dac w/o sound output, but digital monitoring suggests otherwise

Hi, I’ve just soldered on a Phat Dac and attached it to a 3b+ pi and have followed the installation instructions (both manual and via the script to double check).

All audio input shows that output is playing on the digital side (via aplay --vv cmd outputs and monitoring on pavucontrol), but there is no output through the 3.5 jack (tested on in-ear headphones, a pair of JBL headphones, as well as a mains-powered speaker system). I’ve double-checked the soldering and they seem OK - not the prettiest but looks like the connections are solid.

aplay -l lists the device correctly (sndrpihifiberry [snd_rpi_hifiberry_dac]). I’ve posted on the discord channel and had a brief chat with sandyjmacdonald who recommended I post this in the forums.

Can anyone help please?

Cheers!

I’ve checked and resoldered the connections yesterday, and also tested the sound with test-sound with no success. I’ve attached photos from Discord of the soldering, and also of a screenshot where one can see an output being associated with the phat dac (or hifiberry?) but no sound actually coming out from the 3.5 jack.
