    Just got a new R61 this week. Does anyone else have a hiss with the headphones? annoying! Anyway to fix this?

    Also, the vista sp1 is not available via window update. Is there a driver conflict or has anyone just downloaded sp1 and installed without problems

    thanks

    I get this hiss along with some other noised on my T61, drives me crazy. Mic is muted. Using Sennheiser CX300s and HD555s and newest drivers.

    I'm running SP1 X64 from the standalone download, no problems so far. Sleep functions seem to be much faster for a start.
