Does this sound like a hardware problem?

Suddenly, my NeXTstation (mono, 25MHz, running 2.1) won't make a sound.
The "Mute" button beside the Volume slider under Display Preferences is
clicked on, and I can't click it back off.  That is, it goes off while
I'm holding down the mouse button, but comes back on when I let go.

Command-mute does nothing.

I've tried "dsptest", and all the tests "win".

"dspbeep" says:

Does this verify a hardware problem?  Is there anything else I should try?

Thanks,
