    I purchased an MX15x not too long ago and so far I have found the microphone and speakers to be absolutely HORRIBLE. If the sound is anywhere near the 50% mark the static makes most shows/games/songs unbearable, and using the built in mic array leaves a buzzing sound and terrible static. If my cd player has a CD in it there is a high pitched whining noise. it is obviously picking up on computer noises, and no matter how much I play with the advanced settings I cant seem to fix it.

    ALso the LCD's seem to be dimmer than when I first purchased it, I am referring to under the keyboard. Even in pitch black they seem somewhat faded.

    Cheers,
    Morrikan.

    Edit: Also, I updated to the 10.10e drivers for CCC, and it seems to of made ... well... bad. Anyone else having this problem?
