If you don't use a? speaker? with your uBITx and use only a headphone. best idea is to add a 1K resistor to the negative lead of C77 (470uF capacitor) to charge the capacitor slowly when? first power up. Now when you insert the headphone ,any accidental shorting of the sleeve and tip to ground will not create a surge? from the U1 TDA2822 since? c77 is already charged by the 1K resistor. this will prevent a loud pop on your headphone as well as possible damage to the audio amp chip.
