   R3004/R3005 are in the signal path to the earpiece speaker. If they are
instead 1 uF capacitors, that will reduce the bass. If this hardware bug has
been reintroduced on the A7 units, then that's sad.

   On the component placement diagram or the assembly silkscreen, you'll
find them at the lower left or right corner of U3001.
