Hi, I have a MkIIa. It's been great. I got bitten by the short battery life of the factory supplied remote battery, but replaced it. I didn't run into this for so long, because I don't really use the remote. Too distracting when driving.

But, lately, I have needed to. My volume knob quit working. It's a 2a, it's not a slipping problem or anything. It simply does *nothing*. Yes, I installed the Mk2 kernel.

I tend to not think it is a hardware thing, because the rotary switch looks and feels normal, and has not been tampered with.

On the other hand, I tend to think it might not be a software problem, because the remote volume works, volume using the front panel arrow keys via the menu works, which I have gotten very adept at using.

Obviously it must fall into one of those two categories and I am just not seeing it. What is odd is, clicking the volume knob in does bring up the sound settings. Holding it in after installing a HiJack kernel works as well...

Any ideas?
