    Hi, I have the exact same problem. My subwoofer is making a strange buzzing sound whenever there is movement on the screen. At first I thought it's the hard drive but I've just got an ssd and I realised it's the subwoofer. Did you manage to solve this issue? Now that I'm aware of it it's really annoying!

    guys who still have same problems, it's easy to check - launch Waves MaxxAudio and listen to subwoofer, or just open internet explorer and move mouse. Please report this to ASUS, I know more people who has same issues.

    I made a temporary solution for this. If you disable intel 4000 from device manager the stupid buzzing sound disappears. I guess it's because of bios firmware.

    Thanks for suggestion, I disabled the HD 4000 and the buzzz stoped.... But why this happens? I guess now I'm onlt using the GeForce with more power consumption?

    Based on your findings I'd guess there just is bad shielding. The electromagnetic field of the graphics card goes in to the sub, because the signal-path is to close/to badly shielded.

    I also have Buzzing problem. I contacted Asus and they told me they were aware of the problem and that they are working on Driver update. This was in February. :D

    Driver - Definition: A driver is a small piece of software that tells the operating system and other software how to communicate with a piece of hardware. Sound card drivers tell your software exactly how to translate data into audio signals that the card can output to a set of speakers.

    Basically, there is a bug ( error ) in current drivers that makes Subwoofer buzz when you use TouchPad. Hopefully Asus can correct this problem by releasing new Drivers.

    i understood.thanks CoolUI. but as you told us...you spoke to them in February.we're already in June.so...i guess it will be a long journey until we have news from a driver update.

    and another thing.when that driver update is ready,where can we download it?
