    I'm getting this high pitch noise in the headphone jack when something is plugged into the USB port. I'm aware that other people are suffering from this issue, and moving it to the other ports helps. I moved my mouse from the slot closest to the jack to the back and it helped tremendously. (Can't use the one on the other side as something needs to be plugged in there.)

    Is there any other way to reduce this noise?

    I don't think there ever was a fix for this. The best is to just avoid the USB port closest to the audio jack.

    I noticed this problem and had hear it mentioned. It doesnt happen with all usb devices and it happens worse when theres alot of communication with the device.

    Personally those two ports are in a bad spot anyways and i dont use them often.

    It is much less with higher quality headphones. The one on the left side is not that great since it is anything there gets baked by the output from the exhaust vent. So there is essentially only one usual port :(

    I can notice them really easily with my new CX500's, it is very annoying when I'm gaming or listening to music.

    Nothing else I can do then? (I have the Razer DeathAdder plugged in)

    This is strange. Mine doesn't have that issue, or I haven't encountered it yet. I have a Sony shelf stereo plugged into it and it sounds fine? :confused:
    Mine has an April build date on the bottom sticker.
