Thread Starter 
I just got my 5720 and it has what I believe is the same headphone chirping sound as the 5320. I got rid of the sound on my machine by going into Device Manager and disabling the 'IrDA Fast Infrared Port'.

Could someone who has reported the chirping please confirm this.

IrDA Fast Infrared Port is a port very much like the remote control for your TV it sends out an infrared signal (mostly to laser printers or PDA's) which then allows bi-directional communitcation of your lappy and said device.

Confirmed, on my 5320.

Although I'd say disabling one subsystem in order to make another one work properly is a hack rather than a solution.

Confirm

I had the same chirping noise while I was playing Warcraft. It was very annoying. After disabling the IrDa it is gone..I'm not crazy after all. Now the voices I heard are a different story. What do I disable to make them stop

Sp

Does microsoft release a service pack to help in the removal of my medulla oblongata.

Edit: Has anyone found a reason for the chirping noise..It must have somthing to do with IrDa sending out a signal or something

its so regular I will take an uneducated guess that the IR is sending a signal checking for devices. A little electomagnetic interfernce. I wonder if there is a setting that can change the frequency (timing) of the IR check, or the frequency (wavelength) of the device. Might poke around later....
