I don't understand hows your amp works great without a volume pot control.
Do search on google 'audio amplifiers' where the schematics shows how to connect a pot to control volume.
See the 10K input pot used with LM386 to control the volume.
Hi Transistor,
Please don't copy schematics that have a backwards input capacitor and an important capacitor and an important resistor missing.
The pin numbers are wrong too.
The volume control must be connected to the signal input, not to pin 1 nor to pin 3.
Pin 3 is ground and the ground terminal of the volume control connects there.
The LM383 has not been made for more than 10 years.
