    ... to see what was powering it.

    There's a PCB only on one side - the control side. Everything is wired to it.

    Surprising how sparse it is, isn't it. In fact that single large chip there is pretty much doing all of the work.

    It's the Micronas UAC3556B, and if you Google it you should be able to pick up some PDF schematics - it has some interesting capabilities / specs.

    Here's the PDF

    I read part of it, but don't really know what you had in mind when you said "interesting capabilities/specs"

    Care to elaborate?

    PS. mad props for ripping one of these apart. I've always been kinda curious.

    Well - it's all there in the PDF really. A very comprehensive codec, I think you'll agree.

    I know this is an old topic but could u tell me how you took apart the g35 headset without destroying it? I need to fix my Dolby digital switch because it doesn't toggle anymore at all, the switch just moves freely. If you could give me a step by step i would be really greatful, thank you!
