ENABLING THE OUTPUTS
Each analogue output of the WM8941 can be separately enabled or disabled. The analogue mixer
associated with each output has a separate enable. All outputs are disabled by default. To save
power, unused parts of the WM8941 should remain disabled.
Outputs can be enabled at any time, but it is not recommended to do so when BUFIO is disabled
(BUFIOEN=0), as this may cause pop noise (see “POP Minimisation” section).

UNUSED ANALOGUE INPUTS/OUTPUTS
Whenever an analogue input/output is disabled, it remains connected to AVDD/2 through a resistor.
This helps to prevent pop noise when the output is re-enabled. The resistance between the voltage
buffer and the output pins can be controlled using the VROI control bit. The default impedance is
low, so that any capacitors on the outputs can charge up quickly at start-up. If a high impedance is
desired for disabled outputs, VROI can then be set to 1, increasing the resistance to about 30kΩ.
