I believe the add-on LPF module for the DSP board will be available
soon. We'll post details at that time. It's easy to install.
The rolloff of this module is 4.5 kHz, and it completely eliminates
all high-frequency artifacts resulting from the CODEC's 12-kHz sample
rate.
I can't hear the artifacts, which are typically 60 dB down from even
weak audio signals, but some operators with better ears apparently can.
