Try turning it off and on again! (after giving it a chance to cool of course!).
I find it sounds like it's at the bottom of a well when it's not performing that well (due to heat?). It just seems distant and almost like it's in a different room.
I'm doing an experiment at the moment - I bought a couple of cheap heatsinks off eBay, nearly enough to cover the whole top of the unit. The Dev 200 is flat on the top which helps so the make good contact, unlike the 250 I think?
Anyhow, I haven't seen the temperature rise above 46C now, and the power supply is a degree or two hotter than the class A section, which usually isn't the case with no heatsinks. It's sounding pretty good... No idea if it's the heatsinks helping though, but the top of the heatsinks are pretty warm.
