Well your diagram doesn't show a ground of any kind connected to the lm386. I would assume that you grounded the lm386 in the psp right? If not then you need to attach the lower left pin of the lm386 to a ground. That may be the problem.

Yep. But it definately needs to be there for it to work correctly.

That's true. With LEDs, you don't really need the resistors. I would probably still use them though because you may get a better blink.
