Comment 256 for bug 1958019

I just did the same thing, and my reaction is the same. The quality is
lower under Linux, but it's not a massive difference. Maybe it sounds
more tinny under Linux?

Not sure what controls that... Maybe coefficients?

I would say the current quality is still a massive step up over having
had no sound at all.

My current priority is to fix the headphone issues. I want the speakers
to start working again after unplugging from the headphone jack.
