headphone distortion/wierd noises on sr mbp.

[rogerh]

I seem to be get some weird interference when my headphones are plugged into my SR Macbook pro. I can't really explain it but its like a slight high pitch ring/buzz/hum. it goes in and out depending on the sound playing on the computer.

I know for sure its the MBP because I have plugged it into other sources and I don't hear it.

(FYI: I am using Sennheiser 595 with a Grado 1/4" to 1/8" adapater)

If anyone else could test this out I would appreciate it. Wondering if this is significant enough for apple to replace.

I am talking to a buddy on adium right now and whenever I get a message the wierd noises come in and then go away a second or two after a sound stop playing...

This has been discussed. It does appear to be an issue with the SR Macbook Pro's. Use the search.

headphone distortion/wierd noises on sr mbp.

Hi y'all.

Just got a brand new mbp. I plugged in my sennheiser cx 300 and, boom, that buzz hit me. Any app with sound (also safari when launching a sound/movie stream) seem to trigger the buzz. The buzz disappears shortly after those apps are all closed.

Any news on this matter?
