M50vm-X1 headphone jack whining

Thread Starter 
I recently purchased an Asus M50vm-X1.

When I plug in headphones I hear a very high pitched whining. I hear this even when I turn on my notebook, before the hardrive is even booted to. This leads me to believe it is not a driver, software, operating system, etc. problem. The problem exists only with headphones, not with speakers.

I have the most up to date of everything, including bios. I am running Vista Ultimate x64. I have tried many different pairs of headphones. I have tried unplugging the laptop and running off battery, running in different power modes, it does not matter. I have also tried every conceivable option in the audio settings to no avail. Lowering volume, changing bits/hertz/etc. - nothing effects the whining noise.

Any ideas?

Have you tired the other jack? I have the same laptop and no problems at all. But there is the headphone jack and the SPDIF jack.

positive it was the mouse. and yes, i tried both jacks.

the asus mini mouse causes the same whine in any pair of headphones i own on both my desktop that runs 32 bit windows xp and my m50vm-x1 running 64 bit vista.

how crazy is that. i was going insane not being able to figure it out.
