On our 6700's you should NOT autoscale. You're actually using up more battery power than if you just leave it straight overclocked. The creater of XCPUScalar himself posted this on the pdaphonehome forum for the 6700. Our phone is unique in that it's next to impossible to shut off the phone's autoscaling features - so the two programs battle to get THEIR speed going. The advantage XCPUScalar has over other overclocking software - is that it'll go into hibernate when your phone's screen shuts off. So the phone's autoscaling takes over. I repeat - if you scale down to 40% you're actually wasting MORE battery power than if you leave it at 520 the whole time. You can confirm this with a program that measures current draw. That's why I have mine permanently at 624.

Also - the sound distortion is normal - when you touch your stylus to the screen. The screen touch supposedly sends out a lot of interrupt messages that interfere with XCPUScalar's operation. You should not get that sound distortion unless you're touching the screen however.
