Having long wires all over the place is asking

wiring to make it as short as possible and not
cross over the board? Before you shorten them try
moving them up and around and see whether it
makes any difference.
As well as shortening or re-routing them, it would
be a god idea to twist the wires together too. There's
nothing wrong with having shielded cables, but there;s
a lot to be set for UTP... unshielded twisted pairs.

UTP is best for balanced circuits. It gives a minor shielding to single-ended signals, but its use there is mainly just for grouping, keeping 'looms' tidy. The copper bulk of multiple wires can give a minor improvement? to that effect.

Thank you
it's the first thing I did! Try moving the cables and using a shielded cable to connect the volume potentiometer but it does not change anything!
