noise/echo problem through headphone jack?
Has anyone else noticed a scratchy noise and echo when headphones/external speakers are plugged in to the headphone jack? It's kind of hard to explain what the noise is. The easiest way to hear it is to change the volume with the keyboard, and right after the feedback sound listen for an echo. It's very annoying, especally when listening to music.
At first I thought that it was isolated to just my machine, but, fortunately, I was able to try out an identical 20" Intel iMac, and the problem still occurred. However, on a G5 iMac, the problem doesn't occur. I'm wondering if the new Intel boards have an issue of some kind where interference is getting into the headphone jack.
Right now, I have some USB speakers plugged in to eliminate the problem. This isn't an acceptible solution though.
