My (mostly, but likely not completely accurate) impression of what goes on here: On the older SID there's a riding voltage that's always being put out by the DACs. This is what you hear when you're twiddling the volume register to do digis. The newer sid, afaik, simply doesnt have this riding voltage. I'm randomly guessing that its to make the audio cleaner during silent sections. Ther reason the workaround (set a PWM of 100% duty up) works so well, is it forces the DAC to a high output level, and allows you to twiddle the volume and get an internal voltage to work with no matter which SID you're on. - This message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing list.
