iPod Nano Strange Noises any ideas?

Hi All

I have an Apple iPod Nano - when I have it plugged into the PC and it is charging, the sound quality on the headphones is dire.

I can hear noise and buzzing etc, When data is sent to the iPod its worse, as if the data transmission is cross talking over the sound.

I tried different headphones it does the same, and also tested the set that came with the iPod in another device and they are OK.

When I unplug it the noise is gone. Does anyone else have a Nano that exhibits this behaviour or is mine bust?

Thanks

It plays the audio, but there is this Noise over the top.

Perhaps I should return it for replacement?

Meh, its probably interference from the USB chip in the nano.

Should it be doing that though?

Should I return it?

I took it back this afternoon.

The guy tested it with a Sennheiser Headphone and also got another Nano and tested that - mine was making this noise on the headphone and the other one was not.

He said mine was bust and as they didnt have any instock I had my cash back.
