Hi Jon,
Thanks for the note. This morning, I did turn off that feature
(without rebooting the shield ) and it DOES seem to have eliminated the
sound issues I have been seeing. This will indeed raise the shield
acceptance factor in my household a great deal. That noise drove my
wife/daughter crazy and they were lobbying for me to bring back to old
frontend and get rid of the shield.
I am not sure when this feature was introduced. I didn't have any
sound issues on Shield 7.0, then it started in 7.1 and continued into 7.2.
Michael
