One thing that I have seen happen before is a CMOS latch-up that pulls
down the +5.6 voltage which effectively destroys any voice control.
The CEM outputs seem to look good, though low, on a scope but you get
no audio output. Then, when you test the +V of all the control CMOS
it is lower than +5. Those chips latch up if they receive an input
voltage greater than the supply, which as it turns out, is how one of
the mux chips is wired. The latch up sinks current and drags the
voltage down. The unused input of that chip is tied to +5, and since
the 5.6 is derived from divider, the +5 gets there before the 5.6
rises fully. I usually tie that input to ground and never have any
problems again. You may need to replace the chip though if this is
the case as it may be damaged.
