I also have a slimp3 (first one from 2000 or 2001). As I read that LMS 8.2.1 supports slimp3 again, I connected it to my system. The displays shows playback, but there is no sound. Some have suggested a new pus. What is this? I originally had some Sony remote that came with it, might there be

Back to the SliMP3. Is there audio coming out of both channel but it just sound terrible ? If so, then it is possible failure of some components on final output stage such as caps which typically fail with age. Caps are relatively easy to replace.
