Sony Vaio High Pitched Noise / Tone

Recently purchased a new Sony Vaio S Series ("Blue Label" exclusive to Best Buy). Right after pulling it out of the box, I noticed intermittent sound problems. The most annoying is a high pitched tone that sometimes occurs when you play sounds...music, effects, etc. Most of the time, the tone stops when the sound stops (see video) but in other cases, the tone will come on and not stop. Any idea what the problem is? I most likely will return the laptop as defective.

It's a great laptop...good performance, bright crisp screen, nice battery life. A friend has one and doesn't have the sound problem.

I got the same problem. I see a bunch of forums where people think its the fan or hard drive....how dumb. anyways i think its' more of a software problem, cuz when i sleep it and wake it, sound get back. it happened right beore i watched yor video.

The sound problem that you have is not a hardware problem. I would recommend that you go on upgrade the BIOS Firmware and then update the sound driver.
