Most likely just a dead LED, which isn't that uncommon for blue LED that can't be turned off.
I pretty much noob in the inner working of fiio e10, if the amp component failed, it should have no sound at all right for the headphone jack? Pretty weird to have the led burnt out and taking the volume too. I only turned up the volume knob at 1-2 for most of the time and didnt try to suddenly turned the knob to 8. . Been googling around and found that the amp only for the headphone jack while line out only went to the DAC chip, true? Thanks for responding, looks like the thread quite desolate now.

Yes, if the actual amp component fails, it very likely will have no sound output at all. The LED is independent of the volume knob, so I'll suspect your volume control comes from elsewhere. Might want to check your gain switch and software volume setting as well.
Both the headphone-out and line-out comes from the DAC. but there is no amplification for the line-out, where the headphone-out has a dedicated headphone amp inside.
Wah...so many Fiio products now...bought E5 years back, can't remember...still have it till now, still working great. Don't have much time now since got 3 kids; I wonder how E7 or E11 sound compared to my old E5?

The E7 has been replaced by the E07K and E11 by E11K
