If not sound is produced, it will not turn off. It seems to happen
when the music is at a normal volume too. If it is quiet, it will not
turn off.

Any suggestions? Is there a fuse or something that can be replaced?

Model number info might help, but it sounds like a protection circuit issue,
possibly detecting DC at the output (a distorted waveform might trigger the
DC detect also).

If it's not worth spending at least about 100.00 to fix it, then just buy a
new stereo. It's pretty unlikely you can repair it yourself.
