    Does anyone get a hissing or squeeking sound from their w3j as if there was a mircophone plugged in and near the speakers. Because there is no mircophone plugged in and when i turn the volume up there is a hissing or squeeking noise which is annoying. does anyone else have this problem? i did fix the problem by turning off the mircophone settings, but i would hope i could use the mic sometime without a problem. thx

    It is the hard drive especially when the volume is set to the max.

    The only way to decrease it is to set a lower main volume and inceasing the audio player volume to maximum (will increase music volume but decrease hard disk noise).
