The Duo is running 8.1. I already had a suggestion that it might be a
software problem, so I'll have to investigate that by nuking the sound
preferences, zapping the PRAM, doing some Voodoo incantations while running
4 times around the Duo, while it's sitting on a marble rock on a full moon

I will look into this this weekend and will report back what I find. Thanks
all for the suggestions!
