Have you checked to see if you have a suspect connection on the
headphones. Sometimes the plug can pick up dirt and then any slight
movement can cause a static type sound. The same can be true of any
of the connections, I would check the headphone and the mic in of the
MD as two good places to start. Give the plugs a wipe with some
denatured alcohol or a proprietary contact cleaner.
