Any update on the MBP audio problems?

[Lewis Hollow]

I've read on multiple forums about the static-like sounds/tones that could be heard through headphones plugged directly into the latest SR MBP's. I want to get one for recording music (via Logic), but this issue is one that has kept me away.

I seem to recall some saying that it's an unfixable problem that won't be remedied until new architecture is implemented. Can anyone confirm this? Or, does anyone know if the problem has been resolved recently? Anyone do music and deal with this issue...how has that experience been? I think I would rather wait until next year than have a computer with this problem.

Thanks as always...

I have a pre-SR MBP and it is pretty quiet, especially when on its own (if I plug in an external monitor then I get a bit of a buzz). It is certainly powerful enough for most needs so I'd save some money and worries and go second hand..
