There was a nasty pop every time the Doubletalk speech started up, and every time it stopped. Also, the signal was quite noisy. These are not things we hear from the speaker that ships with the Doubletalk internal, or what we hear from the external units themselves. But, it seems Doubletalk doesn't do well with an upgraded sound system as output. Tis a shame, and I hope someone has some good ideas about it.
