The rxnoise test shows zero audio.

1. Please post your usbradio.conf file to the list.

2. Can you measure the top of the voltage divider with a scope to see if
there is noise there during the time you are running the rxnoise adjustment?

The wiring in picture is incorrect, the wording and the xgematic are is
correct. You would still get audio with the incorrect wiring, it just
wouldn't be at the same level as when wired correctly.
