Charging + Media Playback = Buzzzzz
 

When I attempt to listen to music or play videos while my N800 is charging, there is a background buzzing or rapid "clicking" in the headphones. It only persists while the unit is charging.

I did a search and didn't find any other comments about similar problems. Has anyone else come across this problem? If so any solutions? My firmware is up-to-date.

Maybe the headphone ground output is not connected to the GND signal coming from the charger. You can concievably check this by using a continuity meter to test whether the two grounds are connected.
This is pure speculation on my part though, and stems from my _very_ little experience in electronics.

Disclaimer: Don't blame me if you try this and your N800 turns into a pink marshmallow--or if it stops functioning correctly.

OH MY GOD MY N800 MELTED! Thanks, Convulted :p

The buzzing is not continuous...it comes and goes. The intermittent aspect has nothing to do with my using or touching the unit. It's just sitting on my desk untouched. I wonder if it has to do with the battery level?

Maybe the charger is playing up. I've never experienced it myself though under normal usage (I also have a 770 not a N800, but that shouldn't matter too much).
However, I do experience a similar buzzing sound when I connect the 770 to my car stereo and ground it incorrectly, hence my suggestion.

The buzzing I experience only happens when there is sound output.
