I sent this to support@empeg a couple days ago; haven't had a response yet, so I figure I'd get some of ya'lls opinions.

I did play around with the options a bit, to make sure the cell phone mute wasn't a problem, which it wasn't (it's set to Never mute).

Hey guys,

Last night I finally got around to upgrading to 1.02 developer. I kept
forgetting to bring the player back to the car, and when I did this
afternoon, I noticed that there was no audio being put forth from the
unit. Everything else was ok, the boot, the upgrade, and so on.

I did notice that when trying to change the volume when the empeg was in
the Jeep, it went VERY VERY slow... if I held down the left arrow for like
3 seconds, it would very slowly drop all the way to - infinity (mute).
And the player even locked up after tinkering with it a little while.

I tried powering it up from home, it booted fine.. but again, no output
from the audio outs.

Here is a dump from the boot:

Whenever I change the volume, it spews out those i2c: Failed to receive

I wanted to send you this before I tinkered with it anymore (going back to
1.01, etc, to see if you have any idea what the problem is.

Any ideas guys?
