My advice--don&squot;t take this update since it isn&squot;t turning off the CODEC. As well, if it is putting out a signal with an 80-500 mV DC offset, this is going to damage a lot of sensitive headphones (there are no DC decoupling capacitors in the Ipod Classic output path). I got the CODEC noise under two conditions: (1) when I manually shut down the iPod with music playing and (2) when I just paused it and let it time out. I didn&squot;t get the output noise when I paused, then manually shut the iPod down. (I didn&squot;t mess with the volume to see if it only happened when set to above 80%.)
