From the looks of your volume wheel, the 1st pin should be ground, I have the same wheel and had not issues before, hope this helps..

I'll try adding the wheel back in later thanks, but the wheel couldn't be why i dont hear a thing or?

Also i tested the connection to the speaker with a multimeter it gets from the gpio 18 to the speaker + through the amp and all and the - on the speaker is connected to ground..

I took the volume wheel out, because I wasn't sure about the wiring.. so now the filter is connected directly to the amp.

You got any photos? Also s screenshot of for config??

Update:
I can hear the noise through the speaker but not actual sounds, I tried the force 3.5mm thing, but alsa says It's not even enabled.
As far as xonfig goes I have added the dtoverlay line.

could the volume wheel be the problem?..
Pins from left to right:
1- empty
2- R out
3- R in
4- empty
5-ground
