Nick, I cannot comment on the distortion with any certainty (would need more information), but the sudden lack of speaker means that the little plastic lever inside the headphone jack has broken - replacement of the headphone jack is the only known cure. If you want a 'work-around', you can place a jumper wire from the junction of R35 and R36 over to pin 1 of the speaker connector (P5). With that jumper, your speaker will be active all the time unless you put a blank 3.5mm plug into the external speaker jack.
It is doubtful that the distortion and the lack of speaker audio are related. 73, Don W3FPR Nick Henwood wrote: > Looking for some help please.
