I noticed the same problem after I had moved. Hadn't had it before. The solution was easy in my case. (It took some time to accidentally figure it out though). I flipped the power cable around 180 degrees / upside down and re-connected. After this the volume worked as before. This was the model with European power plug.
To address this problem for the aux input, I added this volume control cable at the input:

After having the radio for years, we finally were fed up enough to start looking for solutions. (We even tried flipping the power cable 180 degrees.) It's just too loud with the volume turn all the way down.
...The solution: flip the switch on the back to STEREO. In Mono it's to loud! This doesn't make any sense, but in our case, this was the fix. Hope this helps!

same problem - on a scale from one to ten, it's as if the volume knob is sitting at about 6 when it's actually turned all the way down. I'm sitting three rooms away right now and can hear it clearly - turned to what should be zero. Fiddling with the tuner knob (moving the knob vertically/pushing it up in its housing (not turning it) produces very loud static and almost seems to change the range where the signal is strongest for a specific station, but does nothing to help the volume issue. Doing the same with the volume knob produces no change, and no static. I've never had the volume turned past 2 as it's so loud at 0.
