iPAQ H3600/3700 Series Driver Updates
http://www.compaq.com/support/files/handheldiPAQ/us/download/13909.html
Mark A. Risi let us know that there's a new ROM update for the iPAQ which has a fix we've all been waiting for: an end to popping sounds. I haven't applied the patch yet, but I'm anxious to know if this fixes it. Anyone?
"This contains driver updates to fix the noise issue that occurs with Pocket PC 2002 on iPAQ H3600 and H3700 models with ROM version 2.14."

didn't work for me
I ran the downloaded file and I still get the loud pops. When I ran the installer, the ipaq asked if should overwrite some dll and I answered Yes which should have been correct, right?

I just applied it on my 3650 and it seems to be working just fine. I did notice though that after applying the patch my second to the lowest sound setting, the one that I normally use, is a lot quiter than it used to be. I had to bump it up to the next highest setting.

That's what I did. Did you do the soft reset afterwards?

And the 3800 fix is where....?
I need to test this on my upgraded 3600, but I want a 3800 fix.

No go
I've installed the Softpaq but my 3670 still pops. It does appear that my lowest setting is lower than before, so I guess the highest setting is lower also.

Hello,
I have a dll that fixes the problem with popping sounds - I found it somewhere on the net - don't remember where, but it works for my iPAQ - you simply overwrite the dll that is otherwise located in ROM - so in case it does not work for you simply delete it and after soft-reset your old file will be in use again.
There is no option to attach files here so let me know in case you would like me to send it to you.
Best regards,
Peter

Yeah it's not a ROM update either.
All it does is update the wavedev.dll file. The one that was going around the net before was a wavedev.dll file from the old PPC 2000 ROM. If you have that and try to install this, it'll give an error.
The one in this softpaq is newer than the one in the PPC2000 ROM 1.87.

Oh dear, my iPAQ had the "loud volume" problem and I sent it back to Compaq two weeks ago to be repaired.
I wonder what they'll do about it, since this patch wasn't available two weeks ago?

Just applied the patch to my H3630 - works great. No problems. I also noticed the much lower volume level.
