My SW8 has recently developed an audio issue. It plays for a few seconds

audio out the line out jack, but nothing from the speaker or headphones.
I strongly suspect the LA4555 output IC, but I would love to be able to
do some signal tracing to make sure the problem doesn't lie further up
the audio chain. Does anyone have, or know where I can find, a schematic
or service manual for the SW8?

Yes, BAMA has it (for free) at this URL:

bama.edebris.com

Choose "drake" and then "SW8"

Good luck and let us know what you find.

Alas, BAMA has only the user manual, which I already found, and does not
have a schematic.

I've looked all over the usual sources on the Web, and have so far
come up with nothing. It's as if someone has scoured all traces of
that schematic. Perhaps you can find a sympathetic ear at Drake.

Best of luck,
