Query: Loved it at first until volume began to short out

I purchased this from a local bed and bath store and loved the sleek, small appearance of it. It blends in nicely sitting on top of my white dresser. It has one of the best rain sounds of all the sound machines out there, and has an easy to use design. Recently, like other posters have mentioned, the volume has begun to crack in and out when I twist the dial to adjust it. It seems to be either too quiet or too loud and cracks out on the in between levels. Other than that, it is wonderfully relaxing! I just hope it doesnt completely short out.
