Default Strange audio interference through headphone jack

I noticed this today when watching some mkv files through BS Player and MX Player. When playing a movie, I hear a beeping or sqeaking sound every couple of seconds while the video is being played. The interfering sound remains present when I turn the volume all the way down to zero. It sounds like a quiet "beep......beep.....beeeeep...........beep...beep. ..........beep......beeeep.......beep." and goes on continuously until I pause the video. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Ok, so I've tried multiple headphones and earbuds with the same results. Anyone else hear some squeaking / beeping background noises, even with the volume down to vibrate? It is quite distracting...

I turned off both Wifi and Bluetooth; the problem still exists. I can still clearly hear the electronic squeals at normal listening levels that are moderately loud. One of the reasons I purchased the Infinity was to use as a portable entertainment device including movie watching. I hope this is something that is fixable or I will need to return the tablet. It is a shame because other than this highly distracting interference, the audio sounds great.

Hello, I'm having the same problem, it's a more or less static noise/hum from the hardware. I have two great inear-headphones. Triple.Fi 10 and Westone 4. It's especially audible on on my tripple.fi which are very sensitive. I get none of this interference from my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 or my iPhone 4.

I bought my TF700T in Sweden and have installed the latest update V.9.4.5.26

The thing is, if I pause my movie or music the noise goes away after a little while, It's quite obvious the system is shutting off the output when there is noting playing. I even tried this without headphones connected, putting my ear next to the speaker on the back, pausing my music/movie and I can clearly hear noise then after awhile it goes silent, the same as with the headphones.

Is there anyone else with this problem?


Is this common for Android and or ASUS/Transformer devices? Is there anything that can be done or should I return it and by another tablet instead?

Just to mention I'm having the same problem. And I'm fairly convinced that it is linked with microSD because when I watch stuff from internal memory there is no issue but when Iwatch movies or listen to musicfrom the SD, it does this beep.
And I won't even try to contact ASUS about this because I'm fairly sure they'll just deny the issue and tell me my 4 pairs of earbud all have the same flaw... which is starting to make me sick.

I hope this is software and gets fixed anytime soon. (BTW, I think it appeared with firmware .26 so it should go away)

Actually, I can almost *guarantee* that Asus support will tell you to do a factory reset - that is their solution to everything! Personally, I haven't used my headphone jack yet - I'll find some earbuds and report my findings though.

EDIT: Tested my headphone jack and didn't hear *any* interference at all - tried listening to music, playing games, watching videos - all sounded fine to me... I am using the Volume+ app to boost both the speaker and headphone volume, but that shouldn't matter...
