Only sound in right channel.

I just got the DAC running but I only have sound in one channel.

I might have done the damage myself, because i accidentally ruined the RCA soldering pads by using to much heat on the solder iron (600C), but I don't see why this would affect the 3 pin output header on the side which I am using.

What should I do?

  Hi Mats,
  
  our boards are tested after fabrication, therefore it it not impossible but unlikely that the board came from us defective. As the connection to the 3-pin header goes trough the RCA connectors it is very likely that you broke the trace on the PCB. Follow the trace from the 3 pin header to the output filter and check where it is broken. You can try to fix it by soldering a wire somewhere before the broken trace.
  
  Best regards

  Soldered on a wire to fix it, now it works. I saw it go trough but I didn't think it was crucial for it to function.
  I broke it, and I fixed it.
  
  Thanks!
