The **AK4951 IC** is rotated 180º and placed more into the middle of the circuit board, allowing for the addition of an extra IC: The ChipStar brand **CS8122S** ultra-low EMI, filter-free, class-D amplifier, for driving the speaker output with up to 3W.

The speaker audio header is switched on/off by the headphone female connector, which includes the usual switch, detecting the insertion of a male plug in it.

Only the soldering pads for an internal speaker connector header are present. The speaker +/GND signals on the pad are routed directly into AK4951 pins.

You can solder a laptop / tablet speaker in H1 speaker pads. In order to enable it, you will need to install MAYHEM firmware, where you can also configure under **OPTIONS -> INTERFACE** the addition of a SPEAKER button on your top status bar. **You can solder a laptop / tablet speaker in H1 speaker pads.** In order to enable it, you will need to install MAYHEM firmware, where you can also configure under **OPTIONS -> INTERFACE** the addition of a SPEAKER button on your top status bar.
### Audio devil is in the Details ### "Audio devil may be in the details"
Since the firmware is shared between H1 and H2, on Portapack H2 you end up powering up TWO speaker amplifiers: The one inside AK4951 IC, and the extra CS8122S one.

# Power Supply
## H1 Portapack
H1 Portapack design does NOT include any battery charging circuit, nor a provision for a power on/off switch.
Having said that, some enthusiasts managed to MOD their H1's by adding a standard usb powerbank management circuit board with the corresponding Li-ion battery and placing a manual power switch on their cases.
## H2 Portapack internal battery
H2 includes an internal Li-Ion battery, standard battery charging / managment IC (located at the side of the speakerphone connector) and power switch.
