Just switched it on and I have noticed something new, I am getting audio out of it as normal now but as you turn the volume up further the audio dies away :eh: I think this York is possessed as it was not doing this before. Still no out going audio either. Strange :think:

I'd be tempted to replace them all now anyway . Regardless .

Too low. Should be 1/2 power supply voltage.
Remove C102, 103, 104, 105 and measure again. If lower than 1/2 PS voltage, IC need to be replaced.

Well I replaced the caps and it's still the same so now it's time to change the audio chip.

You measure it against chassis ground or PCB ground?
