Default Audio Fix For HP hx4700

http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/HandheldiPAQ/us/download/22515.html

HP has released an audio fix for the hx4700 series.

� Fixes issue with the potential for speaker damage from third-party audio applications that generate a very high-volume audio signal.
� Fixes issue where the Microphone Automatic Gain Control (AGC) setting was not saved after a power cycle.

It is available in about 10 languages, all roughly 2.7MB to download, though I don't know how much RAM it actually takes up on the device. It is a RAM install, not a ROM update.

Well, for a few seconds I was hopeful this might fix the hissing problem on my hx4705, but it didn't.

And what's up with this?

I thought that was an easy thing to fix in .NET code...why hasn't HP done that? :?

Boy and I thought the extra loud volume from third party apps was a "feature". So how many people listen to anything on their 4700 without headphones?

Yeah, OSUKid7, I was a bit miffed at the setup message that I thought would have been an easy thing for HP to fix, too.

Not half as disturbed, though, as when, once again, I received the RICHTX32.OCX message. (I may have the filename wrong, it's close to that. I did the install the other day, my memory's slipping.) I believe I've received that on just about every iPAQ update I've done from HP. I already have the file elsewhere on my machine. (Because I have the .NET dev environment for my work?) Thanks to someone here, from a discussion regarding a previous update, I remembered: All I had to do was to delete the copy of the file that HP wrote to the folder it extracted the setup files to and then run Setup.exe from there.

Sheesh, bad enough that they have problems to fix, without seeming to introduce more when you try to install a fix...

Default Link now down

Well must have been a problem for others too as they've taken the link down the last couple days. So much for a little QA testing!

It's actually not an error in .NET. It's something that has to be set in the setup .inf file. Look under Installation Warning Messages at this MSDN reference.
