    I have a VGN-NS135E and at random times there is a staticy sound coming from the speakers like bad reception on a radio. It happens randomly it seems regardless if i'm listening to music or not. It happens with the volume on and on mute. I can hear audio just fine. When the speakers decide to make that static noise the audio is clear, just mixed with static.

    Anyone experienced this? What would be causing this?

    welp, it looks as if my speakers are completely dead, though I do get somewhat of a faint static noise from the speakers every once in a while

    I had the same problem with my SZ when I changed the Wifi card (4965agn) by a Inte 5300agn one. So I stopped that idea and switch back to my 4965agn. Maybe you have problem with your wifi card?

    Nope RF devices near the laptop at the time. Don't have a problem with the wifi either. Haven't changed anything.

    The speakers have completely died though it seems. I don't get any audio out of them anymore but still get an occasional static buzz
