It is common to get buzz when audio grounds fail open and depending on the
connected equipment the buzz may manifest or not. It is very likely these
unsoldered connections are the cause of an intermittent buzz.


I repair this stuff all day every day, so am well aware of the problems that
intermittent grounds can cause with regards to hum / buzz. Like you, I would
have thought that the unsoldered connections may well have been responsible
for the owner's problems, but I have to say that even before I soldered
these joints, despite the fact that the connectors rocked easily in the
boards, the only symptom that manifested was intermittent audio, and only
then when these terminations were severely provoked.

Still, if the problem returns, at least I know one thing that it's *not* ...
