Fix chirping/static in headphones on the MacBook Pro
Authored by: rolfie23 on Jan 14, '09 09:16:20AM

I have the exact same problem with my iMac Core 2 Duo (early 2008), and I have even taken it to repair, but they told they had found no problem at all (I suppose they tried with some cheap earbuds in a noisy environment).

I just tried with some old earbuds with inline volume control and it works: with the volume control cranked all the way up, the hissing/chirping is perfectly audible, but with the volume halfway down (compensating with iMac's volume) noise disappears.

Thanks so much, you have solved the most irritating problem I've ever had with a Mac :)
