After a little research maybe it's possibly a TDA2030 or LM1875 ?

TDA2030 was what I was thinking as well.  Here is their G10XL schematic which may be similar.

Well guys I decided to play around with this amp 

I thought it would be cool to try and fix it.

Unfortunately it works 

I tried it with headphones and yeah gtg 

So I thought well....instead of looking up the pinout of the critter let's do some probing

First order of the night was connecting a speaker

Then I piped in some signal and started probing away.  I do fully intend to look at the data sheet and schematic that was kindly provided thank you  but I thought it would be cool to maybe try and determine (anything) before having a look.

So I took DC voltage readings on each pin

Then looked for signal on each pin power off probably a dumb idea 

Then I looked for signal on each pin power on and whether or not it was affected by the volume control.

Results as follows

Unfortunately I had an overabundance of volume controlled output as in three outa five 

And never did I have the input signal uncontrolled by the volume knob.

But...I just assumed there would be
-input uncontrolled by volume pot
-output controlled by volume pot

So maybe it's time to take a look and see what the expected results are.

Volume adjustments usually happen in the preamp.
