from my experience - nope, that is not the "no audio" problem... the no audio issue for me works like this:

(1) turn on the 970 by hitting Video 3 on my universal remote and there is no sound once the unit powers up - so, I have to turn off the 970 and turn it back on, then I get sound
(2) switching from Video 3 to DVD or DVD to Video 3 and there is no audio, even though the source is playing something - again, turn off and turn back on to resolve the issue....

I'm guessing, but sounds like you might have had a fuse issue or some other circuit protection kick in???
