iPAQ hx4700 Series Audio Driver Update Available From HP
"This package contains an updated audio driver... (it) fixes a driver installation issue that occurred for some languages, an issue with the potential for speaker damage from third-party audio applications that generate a very high-volume audio signal, and an issue where the Microphone Automatic Gain Control (AGC) setting was not saved after a power cycle."
The 1.3MB SoftPaq can be downloaded from the HP website. As always, be sure to follow the instructions carefully when updating.

The first update was pulled due to some problems - IIRC, the primary issue was to do with installation. This new update apparently solves the aforementioned issues with installation. However, there may be some new under-the-hood changes not mentioned on the update page, although I can't say for sure. Personally, I think it's highly unlikely.

Is there any word on how much RAM this takes after installed? I'm a bit reluctant to eat up any more RAM, and I'm thinking of skipping the softpaq and being careful with the volume on my third party apps.

Speaking of 3rd party audio, I would really appreciate it if HP would finally get around to releasing MS WMP 10 for the hx4700!!! :?
Anyone else getting impatient with the wating? :roll:

I'd like to see it, but I'm not really counting on it. I don't think HP has indicated they plan on releasing it for this model. Given their recent history in offering upgraded ROM's I'm not holding my breath waiting for any updates to the HX47XX series. I hope I'm wrong about this, but.....

I downloaded this driver and installed it in my iPaq file store. Should I have used my RAM instead? Does it matter where this driver is installed?
