Portapack H1 hardware represents the original design, which is well documented, placed in the public domain.
Portapack H2 hardware is a custom modification of the original design, made by unknown fans (which at this time are keeping their design notes / documents for themselves) including some upgrades:
* Bigger screen
* Different navigation buttons
* internal battery
* battery charging circuitry
* better internal Speaker integration
Note: _There is also an hybrid H1 / H2 model, called the 2020 H1 Model, which is an H1 but with a bigger screen._

At a glance, hardware-side, both models feature a **headphone connector** and the same **AK4951 AUDIO / CODEC IC** (You can get the datasheet [following this link](https://www.akm.com/content/dam/documents/products/audio/audio-codec/ak4951aen/ak4951aen-en-datasheet.pdf)).

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.
### Audio devil is 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.
