摘要 This application describes methods and apparatus for selectively clamping a signal path (106) for an analog audio signal to a clamp voltage, e.g. ground. Voltage clamping circuitry (200) is disclosed having a first switching device (201) in series with a second switching device (202) between a node of the signal path and the clamp voltage. The clamping circuitry is configured to be operable in: a first state where the first and second switching devices are both on to electrically connect the signal path to the clamp voltage; and also a second state to electrically disconnect the signal path from the clamp voltage. In the second state one of the first and second switching devices is configured to block conduction when the voltage at said node of the signal path is positive and the other switching device is configured to block conduction when the voltage at said node of the signal path is negative.
