Coming from someone in the same industry (although I'm primarily video, still some audio experience) I can tell you there is some sense to Joshszman09's claim. I'm sure he explained a bit more than most newcomers will understand, but the point is, our phone is unique specifically BECAUSE of that noise cancellation system in it (as I understand it, 2 microphones and 2 speakers in addition to the headset piece). Now that being said, I can't pretend to speculate that I know exactly what kind of processing/filters they have implemented, but it would make perfect sense that it would at least need to be setup in its "basic" setup (that is, without noise canceling to provide simple sound output) or be provided different parameters to activate the noise canceling processing.

Unfortunately, I can't pretend to know the programming aspects of activating any of that. I'm pretty good with computers, and Linux, but unfortunately my programming skills are lacking :\ I'll continue being people's guinea pig though for any new tests that need to be done, and provide the best feedback I know how. If I can be of any other kind of assistance developers, please let me know!
