X5-30gb -- no audio on Line Out jack

You may very well be right - but there are multiple possibilities which can not be ruled out until the test I attempted to outline is performed.

I am not willing to jeopardize my other X5 -- I only have two PMPs ;)
Can you suggest a way to hack RB so I can at least try to rectify the issue? Otherwise, what's the simplest way to go back to the orig. Cowon firmware?
Thx!

soap:
I don't see the jeopardy.

Simply copy off your current install from the "old" X5 and paste it onto the "new" one.  And vise-versa.  (copying to a temporary folder will make this easier)

If you don't like the results you can reverse the process.

You appear to be asking for rectification of an issue which has not been soundly demonstrated to exist.  As things stand now there is not strong evidence of anything other than hardware issues.  Before you mention again that this problem did not exist before the install of Rockbox on the "new" X5 - I hear you but w/o repeating the situation we very well might be chasing a coincidental hardware issue.

Regardless, you have failed to answer my question whether RB code/firmware is capable of controlling Line Out as it does with Line In? If you don't know the answer to this question, please say so. If you do, then clue me in.
IAC, my other X5 is at my residence quite a distance from current location. My current "PMP" is, alas due to the X5 snafu, my laptop.

soap:
I do not believe the TI TLV320AIC23B has the hardware capability to control the line-out volume.
And nothing audio-driver related has been touched on the iAudio players in almost one year.  If there were a Rockbox problem I would expect it to have reared its ugly head by now.  The Cowon players are not the most popular, but they have exactly the userbase I'd expect complaints from.
