Hi Tom446


You should start a new topic of your own, instead of to one that is over a year old.

If they only buzz when you are plugging them in...?


1. turn down the System Volume before you plug them in.

2. try a different set of headphones or ear buds.

If they buzz all the time...?


1. push a little harder to make sure that they are fully plugged into the headphone jack.

2. try a different set of headphones or ear buds.

it's all the time. on any headphones or speaker. as if a wire has shorted in the circuitry. unrelated to volume. virtually no audio output. doesnt stop when muted. not related to any other electrical appliances nearby. and i don't have applecare so replacing my logic board isnt an option. i guess its just wishful thinking that it may be a software issue although most likely hardware fault 😟


thought this guy could have found a fix hence posting here - not many reports of this issue online.
