I do use DSP under Linux with easyeffects. I found a preset called "Laptop Unsuck" which works ok-ish, but I can't find the original URL after a quick search. It works OK for my needs, but easyeffects does add some latency, which isn't great for videoconferencing for example. However, most people will probably not go out of their way to use this, and also, having a DSP tailored to the specific speakers and enclosure is nice. But I agree there should be a way to completely disable this, at least when using the line out jack, be it for headphones or an external audio system. > But I guess tiny speakers are occasionally useful. They are to me. My laptop is much easier to carry on planes than my audio system, and I don't always like having headphones on, for example when watching a movie in bed.
