    I'm extremely pleased with my X1, but the one issue I have is that whenever I'm wearing earphones connected through the headphone jack of the laptop, I hear insane buzzes and beeps that die out when sound is being outputted, but when there is no audio output, the buzzing continues. Is this a driver problem or an issue with the laptop? It's hard to ignore, especially if in a quiet setting :(

    EDIT: The beeps don't stop when there's an audio output, never mind.

    Do you have anything plugged into the usb ports? if so, try moving them arond into other ports. I know when I have my mouse plugged in ont he right side, i get the problem. But when it's over on the left, it's fine.

    ok what you do is
    go to the control panel
    Open the "Sound"

    right click the icon which is ur speakers
    go to properties
    then the "Levels" tab

    lower the microphone level all the way down to zero
    and there you go

    you should no longer have a problem
