Unusual Speaker Issue

Well, I got my 3G S and activated it with no issue, but I should have known I wouldn't get away with no issues... (last two launched didn't exactly go smoothly as we all know).

The main speaker (not ear speaker) will sound as though it is blown out when it makes a sound after not making sound for a while, however any sounds that follow are played normally. Example: if I go into the Sounds menu and tap my text tone over and over, the first time it goes off will sound terrible, but then the next several times sound completely fine, just as my 3G sounded. If I stop for around 5 minutes, then repeat, the same thing happens.

Since I have no idea what could cause this, I was wondering if anyone else has any ideas or has experienced this on their 3G S?

Howdy all,

Anyone gotten results on this yet with 3.1? I've heard reports that it fixes the hum when you lock your phone, but what about the overdriven SMS sounds?

I haven't updated yet, waiting for iTunes 9.0.1 to fix some of the annoying bugs (multi disc sort doesn't work in Grid mode, but it does in List and Cover Flow, and crossing my fingers for a Black background option on Grid view, but I doubt it)

Just wondering.
