    Just want to have a quick survey of people who have a W3V and installed the latest UAA Bus Driver and Audio Driver (KB888111) from the Asus website.

    I don't notice any buzzing when I have my earphones on during startup. But as Windows is loading, the buzzing from my earphones/speakers or anything connected to the audio out from my W3V, and this buzzing get really loud.

    I did, installed it a long time ago. But I noticed the buzzing only recently. It only shows up at the start of the Windows boot screen and continues on until Windows is closed.
