    I've tried to search these forums and others for a similar problem/solution, but came up dry...

    I'm using a m1530 and whenever I play music or any system sound, I get a series of clicks or ticks. Usually about 4 or 5 and then a few second pause and then more clicking and ticking. It happens through the laptop speakers and headphones.

    If I switch the wifi switch to 'Off' all interference goes away... Unfortunately, listening to music and surfing the internet are inseparable. I don't always remember this problem and it's probably got something to do with a driver I've updated along the way. Anyone know of a fix that doesn't involve restoring to past driver versions?
