Why won't my radio work?

Hey guys. Just got back behind the wheel for the first time since JUNE! (Yeah, I'm pretty psyched too. That's what sucks about going to school 2000 miles away).

Anyway, I've discovered my radio won't work. It functions perfectly, showing the track number and switching CDs and finding radio stations and adjusting volume all that, but no sound comes out. And yes, I've tried the mute button on the steering wheel, that wasn't it. Last time I was home, in September, my car was out of commission due to a dead battery and blown surge protector, both of which have been fixed, but I haven't used it since then so I don't know if the radio was broken from then or not. Anyone have any ideas what it could be and how to fix it?

Also, I have the Audiolink iPod adapter if that matters.

I pulled the head unit and the harness was fine, so I checked the interior fuse block and found I blew the #11 "Audio System" fuse. It's always the simplest. Wish I had checked that first before scratching up my head unit.
