Claim Text:
1. A method for reducing a disturbance on a signal path, the disturbance being caused by a parasitic capacitance of an analog semiconductor switch of an integrated circuit, the integrated circuit further including i) at least one input terminal, ii) an output terminal, and iii) a power supply terminal for providing power to operate the integrated circuit, the power supply terminal separate from the at least one input terminal and the output terminal, wherein the analog semiconductor switch selectively couples the output terminal to the at least one input terminal, the analog semiconductor switch being provided for switching an analog audio signal of the signal path, the parasitic capacitance acting between the analog semiconductor switch and a power supply terminal of the integrated circuit, the method comprising coupling the power supply terminal of the integrated circuit via an impedance to a power supply.
