    When I plug in my headphones I hear a bunch of static. It's hard to explain, it's not just a hiss but rather some sort of drumming or something. I'm really not certain how to describe it, other than it gives me a headache. I happened to see that with wifi off, the problem goes away. I messed with the IDT power settings in the control panel but that didn't help. Muted and disabled the microphones, that didn't help at all.

    Any suggestions? Thanks.
