I tried filing the slot deeper and wider but it still rings out. So using a trick I use to dampen my Tennis raquet strings (a trick I learned from Agassi) I tied a piece of rubber band on the G string behind the nut and this solved the problem.
I plan on replacing the nut but in the meantime this works fine.
Im not saying this is whats wrong with yours, Im just throwing it out there as an idea of something to check. If you can isolate where the problem is coming from then you can fix it.
