Yes it's broken in hardware basically due to wrong value caps as described. The sound quality is OK but much more of the low end is attenuated than should be the case. There's no decent fix for it since the caps have very small PCB footprint and are under the main can. On the DAC path there is an "equalizer" on WM8753 that can increase the bass somewhat, as seen in alsamixer. But it or any software equalizer can only do so much before the signal will clip. But Bluetooth headphones should bypass all this if that can be made to work. - -Andy -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkmtOw0ACgkQOjLpvpq7dMoFEwCeJmXBqhcQur8rXVdHBbAipvCM 7ngAoITTViky7IYzAU2l6h5MUt6X0XTl =1yr3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ android-freerunner mailing list [email protected] http://android.koolu.org/listinfo.cgi/android-freerunner-koolu.org
