That black line on the Right should be touching the Middle Blob.

That may be your problem.

Any further diagnosis is going to require a better pic.

Put the camera on highest quality, stand back to get it to focus, and crop off what you don't need afterwards.

I don't think the line on the Left is supposed to be touching the bottom of the middle blob. I think it's supposed to be hitting above the black band of the blob.

If I'm reading the fuzz correctly, you're shorting it out.

Someone may want to double check my diagnosis. It's been a wile since I've taken a 1/4" jack appart.

Dude fix the pic.

most likely you have a bad connection with the thin wires that go on the plug. Unscrew and check your connections with a meter if nothing is visible.

Pay for the channel, lose the cheaterbox.

Seriously back up from the plug and use the camera's micro mode (if it has one). Only then will we be able to see what your problem is.

Without a clear picture we can only guess but it looks like your jack is bent so that the contacts don't line up properly. I would replace the jack and then try it.

Glad you got it patched up, in my experience it is always a good idea to check the connections first.
