This upgrade primarily addressed a freezing issue reported in the field, where the device buttons, slide switch and mouse would sporadically become unresponsive.  Philips Speech Processing Solutions reported that the issue was caused by a communication problem on the I2C bus within the SpeechMike.

Our Lab confirmed the fix on a few devices that presented the issue.  Once we updated to Firmware v2.15, we were unable to reproduce the freezing issue.  We recommend that all SpeechMike III & SpeechMike Premium users update their devices immediately.  For your convenience, we have uploaded the Firmware update to our website in the Resource > Philips directory.  This is a Free update and does not require a username or password to download.
