If you zero out most of the extended parameters and you still here
distortion then you need to check the AtomaHawk hardware install.
Especially, check the 10 way ribbon cable that goes from the HAWK to
the AtomaHawk. If that is reversed, which I've seen some people do,
then the AtomaHawk won't operate.
At this point, I suggest opening up your Poly and taking photos so that
we can eyeball the installation.
