Confirming here. (I disabled X in the rootfs). I booted and after one hour or so the text console was OK. so I run this: killall pulseaudio madplay sweet-dreams.mp3 --sample-rate=44100 --output=wave:- | aplay And the text console decay appeared. After pressing the power button the text console went back to normal. Regards. PS: I noticed it before when I ran "aplay" for the first time.
