Perhaps it's a good idea to check supply voltages.

  Hi Peter.

  I took the "best" pair (SSM2044+SSM2056) and placed them in different slots - slots are fine.

  I then placed the 2 broken 2044s with the best 2056 - no sound with either.

  I then placed the 2 broken 2056s with the best 2044 - no sound again.

  Any ideas before I replace them ?

  Best,
  Tony
