ok, so i had the buzz, reloaded the rom card, and the buzz was gone. 

added new rom card, the buzz is back in the headphone jack, tried to 
re-seat it again, no change...

have we ever found a user solution to this before having to send it 
in for rapairs ?!?! Much thanks!

As mentioned before on this list, you need to make sure the top chassis is
securely screwed to the bottom half of the unit, otherwise you can get a bad
ground connection, which can cause hum in the headphone circuit. The people
that have reported headphone hum problems have typically occurred after they
installed a new Sound ROM and thought they could get away without screwing
the two halves of the chassis fully back together. It's also possible that
the cable that brings the audio from the main board to the headphone jack
got partially unseated when the unit was disassembled, so you should make
sure that connection is fully seated at both ends.
