I have these transistors in the right spots, according to the markings, but do they go in in any special way? Right now I have them oriented to all face the bottom of the board (using the writing as a reference) but I am getting a loud hiss from both channels. I have gone over everything else, and the module passes sound, but only through a loud wall of hiss.
