Well, just so I don't do anything too terribly stupid, I want to verify. The actual sound chip is the one in U30, correct? I am thinking of removing it with my hot air station and making sure it is clean under it, and then soldering it back into place. If that doesn't work, does anyone know of...

So I bridged those pins by soldering wires between them. Behavior is the same when listening to the speaker. There is an initial POP sound, and then nothing. If plugged in to headphones, it now sounds exactly like it did when I was pressing my finger to the pins for the headphone jack on the...
