ENABLING THE OUTPUTS
Each analogue output of the WM8960 can be independently enabled or disabled. The analogue mixer
associated with each output is powered on or off along with the output pin. All outputs are disabled by
default. To save power, unused outputs should remain disabled.

The speaker output enable bits SPK_OP_EN[1:0] should not be enabled until there is a valid
switching clock to drive the class D outputs. This means that SYSCLK must be active, and DCLKDIV
set to an appropriate value to produce a class D clock of between 700kHz and 800kHz for best
performance (See "Class D Speaker Outputs" and "Clocking and Sample Rates" sections for more
information).
Whenever an analogue output is disabled, it remains connected to VREF through a resistor. This
helps to prevent pop noise when the output is re-enabled. The resistance between VREF and each
output can be controlled using the VROI bit in register 27. If a high impedance is desired for disabled
outputs, VROI can then be set to 1, increasing the resistance to about 20k.

HEADPHONE OUTPUT
Analogue outputs HP_L/HP_R, and OUT3, can drive a 16 or 32 headphone load, either through
DC blocking capacitors, or DC coupled without any capacitor.
