 RF feeds into the microphone line of the headset jack JK4401. This RF causes
 ripples on the microphone bias line of the codec which leads to a poor audio
 quality of the microphone.

-I'd consider to leave those cap footprints in the circuit if the solution with

+C4306 in conjunction with R4305(2.2k) acts as a low-pass filter and keeps
+any RF from entering the internal microphone path. It would be a good idea to 
+move C4307 before R4305 to protect against RF entering the MICBIAS line at all.
+However to be on the save side we could add a 0R resistor(R4310) in series to 
+be able to switch back to the current configuration if necessary. 
+I also would consider removing the C4307 footprint completely because it does not
+participate in a noise cancellation when RF is entering the microphone path 
+through MICBIAS.
 
+Despite the above changes we still leave the C4306 footprint unpopulated. This 
+is just a pre-emptive fix if ECN0018 does not archive the expected effect.

+Changing internal microphone to symmetrical configuration
+
+According to Joerg, the internal microphone was switched to an asymmetrical 
+configuration in GTA02-Rev06. It was expected that this would influence the 
+noise (Buzz) dramatically. However a real improvement of the noise could not be
+achieved.
+
+In most cases a symmetrical configuration offers a better common mode noise 
+rejection than an asymmetrical one. Therefore it is prefered to operate the 
+internal microphone in a symmetrical configuration.
+
+Changes:
+	- replace R4304 with a 2k2 resistor
