Nope. Turned them (mute) on and off. Only when I turn them to max do I have a
faint sound on the headsets, but not (yes, I remved the headset) the speakers.

SOmething burned out. But before I open it to hunt, what is the likeliest?


Did this ever work? If not, why did you not contact the manufacturer
within warranty?

Assuming the typical headphone jack setup where insertion of the
headphone plug disconnects the speakers from the amplifier, my guess
is that there is something wrong with the headphone jack or its
wiring. The faint sound you're getting (in both ears?) from the
headphones sounds to me that instead of being connected to left and
ground and right and ground, it is connected between left and right.
Open it up, look for obvious short circuits or open circuits, check
continuity.


If the ground's become disconnected, the sound through the headphones
would be the difference between the left and right channels. That
removes only sounds in the middle of the sound image. The result is
somewhat odd, but doesn't sound as if there is almost no audio.
