All Iconia Tab 10 A3-A50 suffer from buzzing with "woofer" turned on (even when no sound is playing)
Hello.
The Acer Iconia Tab 10 A3-A50 has a auditory problem. There is a function on this tablet that can be enabled, called "woofer". The problem described in this post ONLY occurs when this woofer function is activated.
When the woofer function is turned on, two problems follow:
1. All sound that is produced by the speakers in the tablet have an accompanying buzzing sound to them. The buzzing sound is low in volume, but still loud enough to be heard.
2. When the speakers are NOT producing any sound, there is still the same buzzing sound occasionally coming out of the tablet. This buzzing seems to be appearing when the tablet is put under load, for example if you open an app.
I have reason to believe that this problem is present with ALL tablets of this model. I say this because when I first discovered this problem I quickly sent it back to the store I bought it from, and was offered a new tablet of the same model. That new tablet suffered from exactly the same problem.
This is a shame because it makes the high quality speakers (compared to other tablets) useless unless you want the tablet to always be buzzing. I hope Acer finds a way to solve this problem via a software update.
Sincerely, a customer from Sweden.
