I disconnected all the inputs to the amp I/C. Still had the pop. You might want to check the reply to Jim Meyers post.

It is an RCA ctc197A. There are apparently variations in this circuit because the collector of the mute transistor Q11900 has a .84 ohm resistor to ground and 0 volts. If I lift that resistor I lose the sound. Other circuits show 31v on the collector. The problem is a delayed loud pop in the sound when plugged in and also when turned off. I have replaced the mute transistor and a couple of caps in the supply for the sound. Several have tried to help and I am not unappreciative, but maybe no one else has had this problem.
