I recently noticed that when I have headphones plugged in to watch a movie and if you place a little pressure on the jack, or press the bezel just to the left of the jack, there is a buzzing noise.
Can anyone else see if this happens to them?
Thanks.

yes, but it's not that bad for me, my problem is when I put too much pressure on the bezel around the hdmi port, the sound goes off and the screen has little black and pink dots and lines all down the external screen, however, if I lay it flat, this is not a problem
Thanks for the reply...good to know its not just me, but concerning that the build quality of these things is hardly stellar....the price for being an early adopter I guess

Hi,
I just got a TF and my earphone jack seems to have poor solder joint. I tried 3 sets of phones and all give the same result. Sometime I only have sound on the left side, I need to wiggle the connector a bit to get sound for both side. Sometime if I accidentally touches the jack, I am back to 1 single side sound. Doesn't anyone have this issue? I saw someone posting the same feedback from another forum so I just want to confirm that. Also, onto of the ASUS word at the side of the tablet there is a small scratch and many seems to have the same scratch there. I am less concern about this scratch.
Hmm, so I've figured out that apparently my right speaker is loose.. or something. It plays sound, but if it's too loud, it starts buzzing and gets really fuzzy sounding. Then, it stops playing anything at all. However, if I squeeze the right side where the speakers are, I get sound again.
So, my question is, is there any physical fix that you guys know of? Do you think using some rubber cement on the side would fix the issue (probably my last ditch effort if I care enough)? I was actually hoping there might be some kind of... holey electrical tape, like the black electrical tape, but with holes so that sound could pass through.
Hmm, any ideas?
Just wanted to ask if anyone who has the K1 about their speakers
I feel on my unit the sound coming out of the top speaker is louder than the bottom speaker is that normal? for example at max volume I can feel the vibration of the sound from the top speaker but not the bottom.
Also I can make the bottom speaker frame click by pressing on it like the plastic is slightly separating (This in particular is concerning) but I wanted to see if it was a manufacturing thing I cba RMA'ing for a replacement just for that to have the same issue.
It happens when you press on the top of the bottom speaker with your thumb kinda like jiggling a tooth you'll hear it and feel it move.

speaker are ok for me..
About the clicking it depends..
On mine it's not the speaker that move but a little click came from the rear tablet panel...but it's definitively not faulty...only normal plastic assembly

I've got the clicking when pressing around speaker grills on both top and bottom edges. Not sure what to think about it but I don't like it. Might return it and keep the Dell 7840.

Hey all. I know the title of this thread is odd, but let me explain. Sadly I dropped my K1 today (never carry a tablet under your arm). Thankfully it was in a case (nothing heavy duty) and didn't fall far, but did land on it's side (left side if you are holding the tablet with the forward facing camera on the top). The screen is fine, but I got worried that something may have happened to the speakers. I downloaded Stereo Test (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jasonfarrell.stereotest&hl=en) to test them and they work, but I noticed something odd. The sound seems to be coming from the speakers on either side of the unit but not the front facing grill. Is this normal?
Yes it is perfectly normal. I have never dropped mine but I have noticed the same thing as well when I am holding the tablet in landscape mode with my hands gripping the sides.
I think the older tablet had holes for the speakers facing towards you when you looked at the tablet but the newer K1 has ports on the ends instead now, so firing side ways?
EDIT ignore me, i can see the holes on the front

Because I'm highly paranoid, can anyone else confirm this? Please?
This is what it looks like under the rubber. Just two holes that the speakers point up to

Can't make out the holes but I do see that there are no speakers underneath the rubber grill. Thanks.
I thought the audio speaker volume was a bit low and noticed sound is only coming out of the left speaker hole. It's really obvious if I cover up the holes in turn. Could you tell me if yours is the same please?
There IS only one speaker...
Ah, well that would explain it. Silly me, I thought - two speaker holes = two speakers!
One is speaker and the other is the mic
Silly me thought the exact same thing today. I randomly put my phone up to my mouth and noticed the sound went away after covering just 1 side.
Thanks for clearing that up guys!
