No, the chip on short did not draw a large current.

I suspect the 2A limit on his power supply saved the chip!

Having used TDA2822 for decades and never had a failure of any kind even with the chip running very hot,
I got this urge to short my uBitx audio output and see it the chip blows.
Power supply 13.6V
Current limit 2A
Touching the volume control leads produces a loud 50Hz hum. At this volume I directly shorted the wires
at the EP jack. The chip got mildly warm thats it.
No smoke or explosions ! I think that some may have got bad/defective/BY chips..
Cheers
