LM386 motorboating that goes away with a resistor in parallel with the bypass capacitor on pin 7

Image
4 I'm building a simple amplifier around a LM386. The circuit I'm using is this: The input is on pin 1 of the connector and is a square wave coming from a digital pin on a NodeMCU devboard. When I turn the circuit on, I can hear a low frequency oscilation on the speakers (not a constant tone, but as if the speaker was turned on and off a few times a second). I tried adding a capacitor between the signal and ground as it seemed to work in this related question but I needed a fairly big capacitor (220uF) to get any result at all, and it only decreased the volume of the noise (not to mention it is filtering my input, if I understand it correctly). What did get rid of the noise completely was adding a 1K resistor between pin 7 and ground (in parallel with the existing capacitor): I have no idea why this...
