Could the SID chip be damaged? Over 20 years ago, I damaged a SID chip 
in an old-style C64 (+12V VIC and SID) by hot-plugging the audio output 
to a stereo receiver that was also hooked to an antenna amplifier that 
may have been powered from a different mains voltage phase. This could 
have caused a ground current.  I cannot remember clearly, but I think 
that the audio was very quiet after the incident. Replacing the SID chip 
cured it.
