I'm just wrapping up my 430 installation, and was hoping to hear something (anything) through my headphones.. Nada.
I have a used GNS 430 from Wentworth installed. New Sigtronics intercom (at least *this* works). The Garmin is plugged into the intercom with the 500 Ohm Audio Hi output. The 500 Ohm Audio Lo is grounded. The Garmin install manual shows a paired "Audio 1" Hi and Low on P4001, but I can't find any other use for it mentioned anywhere, so it's not connected.
Pressing the squelch button also makes no noise, as I would have expected.
One issue that has me concerned is an incident in my hangar a few weeks ago -- A particularly long and bizarre chain of events led to the GNS430 dropping from table to concrete floor. Not far, but enough to give the case a tiny bit of wrinkle at the back end. While the unit seems to power up just fine, I can't help but wonder if there might have been some physical damage, causing this inability to get audio.

Call Garmin. When ours went out like this (installed several years ago) we sent it to them and they inspected it repaired it. I think it was like $100.
