That's a possibility, yes. It's also possible that I don't notice the problem because I'm not really an audiophile (but I'm usually sensible to noise anyway). > Maybe the circuitry that turns > off the the loudspeakers and switches the output to the headphone jack > when a plug is inserted isn't fully switching over, and the hanging > output is what's causing the problem. This is probably a stupid suggestion, but are you sure you fully inserted the plug in the socket? I remember that I had horrible sound with the headphones, but that's only because I didn't push the plug hard enough for fear of breaking my tablet. Bye -- Luca
