Not necessarily broken. Class A amplifiers do their work
with sufficient DC offset that the signal never changes
direction. Even so, the music is carried by an AC
*component* which is present, and may be separated out by
using a transformer.
Or a highpass filter tuned very low - AKA a capacitor in series. Which
almost any modern electronic gear has on its inputs and outputs.
