This is obvious, but Intel must be smoking some really good
stuff. Pull the speaker out of the unit, and plug the output into the
input on a computer soundcard. Even if the speakers themselves do
encryption, a person can always open the speakers and attach to the
analog output right before it hits the speaker element.
Don't they understand that this is a losing battle?
