Often, when an audio file starts or stops, there is a click, but I've not heard 
any pop or click otherwise, and am also running the latest firmware. There is 
an oddity also with this BookPort, and that is, sometimes 
without any prompting, a double beep occurs without anyone ever having touched 
the keyboard. I've listened and once in awhile, the unit will beep. Does the 
unit, by defalt, beep every 5 minutes, 10 minutes 
without any prompting or touching of the keys?

Hmm.  Interesting.  I'm not hearing it here at all and I'm also using the
latest firmware.  Lou
