    Does anyone else have the problem of the built in speakers causing the keys to vibrate, making a buzzing sound. It seems that the sound is coming from the arrow keys and the touch pad buttons to a lsser extent. I wonder if there is a problem with my right speaker or possibly the keyboard.

    Try turning down the volume a bit.

    Sound travels in waves and anything attached to a speaker is going to vibrate...more when the volume is turned up alot. If you have it cranked to 11 and you do it all the time then yes your keys are going to vibrate and make noise. Its also possible that what your hearing is the resonation of the actual speaker enclosure. The speaker is actually in a little black pod.

    The buzzing occurs at all volume levels. It seems to be the worst when listening to something with speech.
