Well, that's good news (I guess....if unwanted hum/noise is good news at all :-P). > Hmm, that would probably kill some high-frequency part of the audio > spectrum as well, but maybe there's a chance to do better than Apple ;-) I doubt it...at least not without having some extra equipment and software that I don't have (TI has some software to help with determining biquad filter settings for the TAS, but I think it costs $$$). I'll start with Apple's settings and see what I can figure out from there. > Yup, they suck, even with iTunes' "small speakers" profile, they used to > sound, well, small... Hehehehe...yeah. I found that they sound a bit "tinny" due to a lack of real bass (no hollow space behind the speaker doesn't help). Oh, well...I guess I didn't expect much from the speakers anyway, hence me carrying headphones in my laptop bag :-P > Resetting the chip sounds like the right thing to do, though I don't > actually know what I'm talking about ;-) :-P Actually, I think it is the right thing to do. I didn't see anything about power saving in the TAS manual, so I'm guessing that a reset would be proper. I'll take another look anyway to see if there's anything else that can be done. > Note that I only get such noise effects in one out of 10...20 sleep/wake > cycles, so it's not easy to reproduce... That may be why I haven't seen it locally yet. Then again, I don't put mine to sleep too often. C
