Ok, here we go:
I am building a SoundCard DAC for controlling my Laser.
The SC outputs from 0.7 to 3.1V whereby 2.55V is the "middle".
An Amplifier should convert this to a differential signal with 10V p-p.
currently not soldered anything to the SoundCard; im using a USB plug
for power and for testing the opamp's stage behavior, im was using a
1MOhm potentiometer to adjust any signal voltage between +5 and -5V.
now, after i thought the high resistance of it could be the error cause,
i replaced it with 3x 10k R's at which i can get 4 different voltages
for testing.
I attached my circuit plan, its exactly how i builded it. between
+5V/GND and -5V/GND are a 100µF elko each for stabilising, otherwise
currently no capacitors are used, except the ones for the ICL7660
negative voltage converter.
So i did a row of different measurements on different setups. Results
are attached to this Post, too.

In the table, the 1st collumn is just measured with multimeter on the
Vin 3*10k divider, withoud any load. second one is the divider voltages
feed into a voltage-follower opamp circuit, 3rd one is fed into
inverting-amplifier with 1x gain and 4rd finaly with 2x gain.
So this is strange. the "real" voltages on the divider are coming out
unaltered with a impendance amplifier / follower; but are changing
extreme when i use something with gain.
Also in the last test setup, the substractor, when i feed in 2.55V i got
the half out, without any other voltage is going in which could alter it
(0 in the table means unconnected cable)
On the other side, whenever i do operations with buffer stabilised
negative n/o directly from LM336 reference circuit Vref ±2.55V Voltage;
the output never differs from ideal theory values!
What the...?!
I never get "zero-level" signal output on 2.55V "offset-level" input. SC
is a CM106 so the Vref is set right. OPA's are rail2rail and able to
deliver Vout = Vsupply - 0.01V !
