| Dead audio (Stream MP3) Driving home tonight, listening to MP3 from CD. Sudden very loud metallic ping played through the speakers after which I couldn't get any audio. The user interface is still perfectly fine, I can change source, volume etc, but cannot hear a thing from any source at any volume. Is this a dead audio output stage? Any chance it could be a blown fuse or is this a dealer visit? (MY2008 vRS TDi, sub 10000 miles) |

 Mine made a loud pop in the first week I got it but seems ok now. I explained this to the dealer and they said they had heard of the problem but a firmwware update cures it. unfortunately my H/U showed a newer F/W to their latest disk | |

| Briskodian  | Re: Dead audio (Stream MP3) I concur with the firmware update thing. Same happened to mine and the dealer patch/fix sorted the issue. Sounds possible that the audio pop blew something, but I'd get it to the dealer for a checkup.

|  Re: Dead audio (Stream MP3) I had the same while playing an MP3 disc. Loud "POP" then nothing but all controls etc. looked normal - just no audio. (Dealer job I assumed - dead output stage) Next time I used the car - 1 hour later all back to normal  I reckon the HU interprets some mp3 data as firmware info and tries to update. |

| Re: Dead audio (Stream MP3) This morning it's working again. Taken with the replies to this thread (thanks everyone!), is this a software issue that kills audio until the ignition is switched off, effectively power-cycling the HU? |
