    Hello,

    I received my 15r3 at the beginning of the week, and each time i'm connecting a speaker or a headphone, i have static...
    It's very light, but very annoying too...
    Is there anyone who already experienced this problem ?
    And by the way found how to solve it ?

    I have an annoying stutter static when playing games and such. My Alienware 17R3 doesnt have it.

    Just push and hold 3.5mm jack tightly and observe if its correct. The headphones I use must be inserted only 3/4th part of jack and sound works fine.
