The POKE didn't help - PRINT PEEK(59458) returned 30.

You may also find that the voltage on pin D-4 (CASS READ) will be different when you do have a datasette plugged in / don't have a datasette plugged in.

With a datasette plugged into port 2, what voltage / logic level do you see on UC5 pin 14...

-When cassette port 2 is idle (not doing anything)?
-When cassette port 2 is trying to load something?

Where did you measure this 2.4V?
- Was it on cassette port 2 pin C-3 or UC5 (6522) pin 14? (or one both?)

If UC5 (6522) pin 14 is always high, then that means the cassette port 2 interface's power-regulator supply will always be being disabled. So, unless something is shorting externally, then that could indicate a fault on the 6522's pin itself
- But best to check the correct software commands are being used to control this / could try POKE-ing it's PB4 low

I think POKE 59456,0 should do this, but might there may be a clash with what the Kernal is trying to do, as the 6522 PortB lines are used as both outputs & inputs, some for internal use.
And have to ensure the data-direction has been set correctly by the Kernal etc. first. So maybe try PRINT PEEK(59458) and see what that returns, if the POKE doesn't make any difference.
