I've had the same problem. This is faulty hardware, not software. You've 
been using the sound selection wheel too much! :-)

Whatever it is called that the sounds selection wheel is fastened upon 
(not really a potentiometer) needs to be replaced. Consider replacing the 
rest of the potentiometers too, they might need that too quite soon.
