Nope - with the volume down, or speakers disconnected, its dead quiet. In playing around with iTunes, I've noticed that the static is minimal if I turn the iTunes volume to the max, and control the volume with system volume. If I turn the iTunes volume down and turn the system volume up, the static gets much worse. Don't know what that means . . . SR
