Perhaps, but the player still runs normalls, just no sound. I can go through all the menus, continue playing any track I like, and the visuals (I usually use the soundplot ones) keep acting like they're getting the proper digital input, I just don't get any sound out. The strange thing is that it seems to happen quicker at higher volumes. I get my car back tonight; no amp, but we'll see if it keeps doing it. I suppose it is possible that the amplifier itself was overheating; I'll investigate when I get a new amp.
