    These speakers really suck!!! Is it normal that the speakers buzz a little? I mostly notice it when I watch Youtube videos when there are "sharp" sounds such as a girl's voice talking. Do you guys have this???

    Try and download a newer driver version directly from the Realtek website.
    I've never experienced a buzzing sound from my G50, but there was a high pitched whine when I used one of the USB ports closest to the audio out port and had external speakers plugged in.
    Also try playing with the settings in your sound manager and see if you can eliminate or at least minimize the disturbance.

    The buzz is hard to describe. It happens only when there is a "high-pitch" sound. I only have the USB plugged in the very back of the laptop which is a cooler.
