You're maybe right, that Archos changes internally settings, but I don't
think that it is worth to spend much effort in to find out.
One has to use the right headphones anyway.
I think that this is not a problem at all (and I did not want to say that in
my previous post). The rockbox developers should not spend time in this
issue. It works and sounds wonderful, the way it is.
Many thanks to the rockbox team for all their great work that they are doing
for all of us.
