    Hey everyone, I just got my Blade 14 yesterday, and I LOVE IT. The only issue that I could find with my unit (besides Windows scaling) was with my audio. Whenever I plug in my headphones, the audio is fine, however if I plug in my speakers (Corsair SP2500) I get loud interference and cannot use them without knowing its there. I went and used a friends crappier $20 desktop speakers, and those worked without the interference. What gives?

    EDIT: This only happens when the laptop is receiving power from the wall, if I unplug it, it goes away. And the interference doesnt happen when it is connected to my Xbox or desktop computer.

    Sounds like perhaps your corsair speakers if they are the only ones with an issue.

    I should add that this only happens when the laptop is receiving power from the wall, if I unplug it, it goes away. And the interference doesnt happen when it is connected to my Xbox or desktop computer.

    My BOSE speakers did this when my power cord crossed or was too close to speaker wire. It was actually picking up radio signals and could hear some talking in spanish through the static. Rearranging my desk setup so that my power cord and converter box were as far from the speaker wires as possible fixed it.
