I just got this X61 this past week AFTER a long delay, and now I think it's broken. Every time the speaker plays a sound a "pop" noise is played right after the sound (almost as if the speaker is turning power off and on). This even happens also when simply loading a webpage and just random popping noises occur (without any other sounds being played, just random popping from the speaker).

The popping noise also occurs when using the navigation buttons (back and forward) in various windows menus. The sounds do not occur when I have windows sounds turned off, but still those noises shouldn't be there to begin with (i don't think popping noises are part of windows sounds), it's annoying and sounds like something is wrong.

Anyone please?

BTW the popping noises eminate from the lower left corner.

Also, the popping noise is totally silent if I press the speaker mute button.

mine X61 t that is a few Days old pops too but it only pops when I use battery mode. when.it is connected to AC power, it works fine.

the popping issues was a driver issue, it just updated my driVer & it was fixed. Now I have an. almost perfect X61T Tablet with only some Backlight leakage on the left corner and one dead pixel.
