845gl-p headset jack hum/buzz

Purchased a Hermes 845gl-p about a month ago. After buying a P4 2.4 400HZ, Samsung combo drive, WD 120GB 8MB buffer special edition, and 2 512MB sticks of Crucial memory, I have a sound problem. The front headset jack has a loud hum/buzz when the system boots, mouse moves, hard drive access, or DVD plays. Tried disabling the sound card in the BIOS, NO change. Removed the hard drive and used a WD setup floppy, NO change. Removed the CDRW-DVD, NO change. Grounded the hard drive holder to the power supply, NO change. MSI USA recommended isolating the MB on cardboard, but that leaves no way to anchor the CPU fan. It this a bad board? Did I miss something in SETUP? Should I wake up from this bad dream? Any thoughts? ?(

Try toggeling the "spread spectrum" option in the bios.

IMac 27 inch hum/buzz/vibration

I have just come from the new Apple store in Hornsby, having returned the second iMac 27 inch computer with a hum/buzz/vibration noise complaint.
APPLE THIS IS NOT A MYTH AND NOT ACCEPTABLE!
The story goes like this...
I bought a 3.4 Ghz, quad core 27 inch iMac with a 1TB Seagate HDD and 8GB of RAM, and the 1GB video card a few months ago from the Apple store in Castle Hill, Sydney NSW. Took the machine home, set it up, and was extremely happy with it. Upgraded to Lion, had no issues with performance or ambient noise etc... it was whisper quiet. I would leave the machine running all the time, letting it simply sleep when inactive, and it never made a sound other than the optical drive or maybe occasionally the drive heads when reading or writing data. It was dead silent!
I receieved an email from Apple stating that in some circumstances the Seagate drive could fail, and for me to contact a store to make an appointment to have the drive replaced as part of a product recall. I thought 'I'll do the right thing' and made an appointment with Castle Hill Apple store to see a 'Genius'. Here comes my first gripe! I am an IT professional myslef (a CIO with a technical background) I should add, at this point. When I made the appointment I was unable to ascertain the status of stock for the replacement hard drives or how long the replacement would take. I get to Castle Hill and I am advised that the drives are not in stock and it could take a few days to get this completed. I don't want to be without my new computer for that long!? So I take it home and rethink how I should approach this.
Hornsby Apple store opens! I live in Hornsby so that suits me! On talking to a representative at the Hornsby store just this Friday passed I am advised that they do have the 1TB replacement drives in stock so make an appointment quick smart! So I do. It goes downhill from here...
On Sunday just passed I drop my iMac (Serial # C02FG03YDMW8) with a Seagate 1TB HDD in for hard drive replacement. As my data needed to be transferred from one drive to the other, I was told it would take overnight. No problem I thought. All good. I pick up the iMac the next day, with the Seagate drive replaced with a Western Digital one, and take it home. Set it up and turn it on. Suddenly my iMac is no longer 'whisper quiet'. From the point the system status chord sounds there is a humming or buzzing 'droan' that resonates through the desk and can be heard even over my television, fridge and fish tank! Sitting in front of the iMac for more than 10 minutes results in discomfort from the sound. It didn't make this noise before!? My assumption was that the new drive was either faulty or incorrectly installed. Dissapointed, and informed by reading countless blogs and forums on others returning multiple iMacs with the same complaint, I box back up my iMac (which I had previously been VERY happy with - previous to it being a buzzing machine that was) and the next morning (Tuesday) return it to the Hornsby store.
At this point I must note that the staff (Manager Kate and Technician or 'Genius' James) have been outstanding in terms of customer support. I cannot fault the staff at this point, just the product.
Tuesday morning the folks at the Apple store advise that they can either try to repair my now noisy iMac, or replace it. I figure, well I'll replace it then. So James sets about that day transferring all my data again, moving my 8GB of Ram from the machine with serial number C02FG03YDMW8 to a new machine, with serial number C02FP02MDMW8. The new machine has in it of course, a Western Digital drive (not that I am attributing the hum/buzz/vibration to the WD drive, but it is an odd coincidence don't you think?). I pick that machine up Tuesday afternoon, thanking everyone for all their wonderful help, and knocking on wood that this new machine is as faultless as my first one was prior to the drive replacement. Guess what!? It wasn't!!!
So I return the second machine this morning. You guessed it... I am now irate. The 'Genius' told me he could not recreate the issue... OF COURSE! GENIUS! You have music in the background and it's a noisy store! I wish I had never let anyone touch my iMac in the first place. As I've said I've read countless forums on this issue - it DOES EXIST! If I pick up the machine when running, the buzz vanishes. You can FEEL the vibration through the stand. If you lean the machine forwards onto the front ledge of the stand the sound goes. It is something to do with a moving component that is creating a vibration and in quiet environments the noise actually becomes irritant. I left my iMac running overnight and from my bedroom, I could hear the droan. The desk is a wooden desk, on tiled floor - but I must impress, MY FIRST iMac DID NOT MAKE THIS DROAN!
Anyone wish to comment? Apple maybe!? The iMac is in the shop for further diagnostics.

I also have 2 Tb Hitachi iMac 2011 with SSD. The source of constant noise is Hitachi drive. When iMac runs just on SSD it's dead silent. Disappointed with this issue for so expensive model. Changing the tabble or using rubber pad like some people advice don't help at all. I saw some iMacs which are almost dead silent, so it's weird Apple sells so different models, especially when you pay much more to get that 2 Tb drive. I am already out of my 2 weeks return/exchange period, and actually I had a very little hope on the shop - they surely will tell it's normal since the drive is OK. I called Apple authorized service and they tell iMacs can be as loud as 30 Db. But it's weird, I saw a bottom line 512 Gb model in the shop and couldn't hear any buzz even with my ear touching the screen. Surely the constant HDD buzz just attracts the attention and makes overall impression from using iMac not that positive. I saw older iMacs, even plastic ones, they are all dead silent. So what can we do in this situation? Surely Apple won't serve it as a warranty issue. Also customers are very limited in choosing replacement hard drives as Apple now uses proprietary models, and many of them tend to be noisy....
Actually when you have an SSD drive you can unmount your second hard drive and it becomes silent. You can even specify the drives to go to sleep after 1 minute of inactivity with pmset Terminal command. But it will start to spin again again after going from sleep. Also if you have some third-party tools like Parallels installed, the second drive will not sleep at all cause Parallels causes some conflict.
Overall this computer is dead silent when the secondary HDD is not spinning, even in games.
I really don't know what to do

IPad 3 Headset (Jack?) issues

Figured I would see what anyone else thinks. I consider myself to be pretty darned knowledgeable about iDevices. I have been inside iPhones, iPod touch, iPads. I can normally fix things easily. This one has me a bit worried
I bought an iPad 3 when they were released. I bought it at Walmart for some odd reason (never again). So when I checked out, the woman asked if I wanted to buy the protection plan. I said no, because I always get applecare+. She replied that it was the same as applecare, and I told her that I doubted it. I said that if I have an issue with my ipad through applecare, I just get a new one. She said you get the same thing here, but instead of driving 2 hours or shipping it off, you can come in here and get one. I decided to try it, and needless to say, it was not anything close.
The headphone jack on the iPad started doing something where when a set of headphones are plugged in, it would freeze up and then reboot, and get stuck on the Apple logo. Then it started ruining headphones within 2 weeks. No matter how many we bought, it would short them out or something.
So, I tried to take it back to WM, and they said they were not responsible, and that I needed to contact an outside source. I did, and they had me ship it off to be repaired. It came back, and you could tell that someone just like me had repaired. As a matter of fact, I could have done a better job
Never the less, it came back and the headset jack seemed to work. However, it is already starting to do the same thing. Assuming that they actually replaced it like they were supposed to, then I assume that it has to be something else. Since it worked at first, I guess they did replace it. I can replace the jack again, and just see, but I feel there might be another problem elsewhere.
Moral of the story, is DO NOT BUY WALMART extended service plan. I think that the lady was not lying to me, but ended up selling me the wrong plan. After some research, it is apparent that Walmart has 2 levels. First level is the service plan ($79), and then a replacement plan ($99 I think).
I will be fixing it this time

Is the 3.5 headset jack for handsfree & headphones

Samsung Galaxy Note II - Sorry, but here is a really clueless question. Is the 3.5 headset jack used for both hands-free connections and earphones for MP3?
Thanks,

I asked because I don't know for sure. I'll contact Samsung Monday.

IPhone 3G headset jack not working

HI,
The headset jack of iPhone 3G suddenly started playing up. I can listen to music without any hiccup, can hear the other person loud and clear but people complain of a lot of static noise at times and at other times they cant hear me at all. I have personally tested this scenario.
Now to troubleshoot I plugged in my Bose headset which works fine. Hence I asked for a replacement of the headset which came with the phone. Inspite of the replacement the problem remained.
Then I checked out the new headset with other phones having 3.5mm jack and it worked fine.
This confirms that the jack is the problem. I tried to clean it with a clip but no dirt came out at all.
I tried blowing some compressed air into it but to no avail.
Now in India the only support available for the iPhone is through the cellular service provider (Airtel in my case). But those guys understand nothing about technology and have not been able to help me out with cleaning the port.
The only option left for me now is to send it to the Apple support center through Airtel which leaves me without my phone for at least 7 days. The rest of the phone works just fine.
Is there any other solution to this problem other than sending it to Apple for either a repair or a replacement?
Thank You,
P.S: I know that this topic has been discussed but not the exact problem. Appreciate any answer.

Thanks mate. Just found out another weird issue! There are headphone jacks which have 2 rings around the jack and others which have 3. My iphone works well with the ones with 2 rings (infact the new in-ear headphones are the ones with two rings around the jack) but not with the ones with 3. This is true for other 3.5mm jacks. Checked that out as well. Do you think it could be an issue with the 2.2.1 firmware?
Thanks

How do I open the headset jack cover ?

I am really struggling to open the headset jack cover on the Xperia z Tablet... where do I put my fingernail and which direction does it open ? Thanks !!!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Koko,
welcome to the Sony Xperia Support forum..
If look at the headphone cover you should see a small gap using your finger nail you should be able to flip the cover out..
See image below, although not the headphone port, it should give you an idea of what the small gap should look like..
Edit: seems I was to slow in typing my reply..

No audio from headset jack

I am wondering if there is an app or other process that would possibly turn off audio to the headset jack. The headset that I have used in the past is functioning, but when attached to my Droid Razor Maxx no longer plays audio. When plugged into my Razor, I no longer receive audio through the ear pieces, but the audio still plays through the phone's speaker. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

You can try restore in iTunes also
If that does not work yeah call 1-800-MYIPHONE or make an appointment at an Apple store with a genius

Yoga 13 - Headset jack with splitter adapter doesn't recognize microphone

Hi,
I'm trying to use my LifeChat LX 2000 headset with the Yoga 13's combi jack. The LX2000 has separate plugs for mic and headphone. I bought a standard adapter to convert this into the required combi jack, but only the headphones work. The mic is not recognized. I've already uninstalled and reinstalled the conexant driver and replaced the adapter with a new one. No change.
The headset works on other computers with split jacks.
Any thoughts?
I know that there is the option of USB headsets, but since I already own the LX2000 and would prefer to not block another precious USB slot, I'd prefer using the available combi jack - as that's what the jack should be there for...
Thanks,
Jan

Thanks, XMB. This is very helpful information. Can't believe that even such a little item as a headset jack with three contacts has an universal industry standard...
I'll see if I can find an adapter that's wired for Apple standards, although it surprises me that Lenovo would choose the Apple method if most other PC's use another standard.
So can you confirm that the wiring diagram in below link is correct for the Apple vs Nokia wiring?
http://samsunggalaxysforums.com/showthread.php/5393-S2-stock-headset-in-iphone-standard
Is there any documentation in the Yoga technical specs that allows to identify which wiring is used in the machine? I know you mentioned it uses the Apple standard, but it would be nice to know that this is mentioned in some documentation officially.
Thanks

IPhone 3GS headset jack out of spec?

I have been experiencing problems (similar to some of the other posts) when I try to use Apple's standard headset and three other third party headsets with my 3GS.
When I plug the headset in, people can hear me, but I can only hear them faintly. If I pull slightly up on the jack, I become garbled to other people, but I can hear them clearly.
The same headsets that I have tested work on 3G iPhones.
It's my belief that the headset jack in the 3GS is out of spec.
I have gone in to the Apple Store and have received two replacement 3GS phones to verify that it was not something unique to my first phone. I am now convinced that there is a definite hardware issue that needs to be addressed.
Any help that anyone could provide would be appreciated.

Thanks for your suggestion. It's definitely not a volume issue.
I've been using the original iPhone exclusively with wired headsets since the very first phone was released. I finally upgraded to the 3GS when it was announced, skipping the 3G rev. As such, I'm super familiar with the functions of the phone.
It seems to definitely be an issue with the jack itself, as I have now tested it independently on 3 phones, with 3 Apple headsets (the one that shipped originally with my phone and the new Apple/Bose headset, and with a headset that shipped with a 3G phone). As well, I've tested with two third party headsets - one made for the 3G and 3GS and one that works on my old iPhone via a TTY adapter.
I'm really hoping that I can get some feedback from Apple directly as I don't know of any simple resolves for a hardware issue that has shown up on 3 phones and repeated on two unique trips to the Genius Bar.
Btw, while I was in the Apple store recently at the Genius Bar, the person behind me showed up with the same problem.

HP Envy Headset jack compatibility with stereo headphones equipped with 3 ring plug

Hello.
As you know, new HP Envy laptops are equipped with just single audio jack (TRRS type). In "Maintenance and Service Guide" this one is mentioned as "Audio-in (mono microphone)/audio out (stereo headphone) combo jack".
So if I connect my stereo headphones that are equipped with 3-pin plug (TRS type) directly to this Combo Headset jack will these get recognized by system as stereo headphones (not as headset)? Can stereo headphones with 3-pin plug cause any damage to laptop hardware if connected?
What is confusing me is that in User Guide one can read following Note:
"Be sure that the device cable has a 4-conductor connector that supports both audio-out (headphone) and audio-in (microphone)".

Hi Misuser8,
The manual does support a 4-conductor connector. After some research I have read that the 3 will work with no complications.
I hope this helps.
Thanks.

Does the headset jack must be closed for being able to be used underwater?

For what I know,for Xperia Z3 could be used while underwater,all the ports must be closed firmly.Is it include the headset jack? Because I didn't have the closure cap during purchasing it.Or I have to buy the closure cap separately?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

As Phy said.
Z1 , Z Ultra, Z2, Z3, Z1/Z3 Compact. All phones have exposed headset jack that is waterproof without any need for cover.
However it would be good move to let the jack dry completely before using headphones.

HT4241 The headset jack does not function at all.

I have a MBP 13" running os x lion 10.7.4. The headset jack does not function at all. I can hear crackling in the headphones but not acual sound. I have attempted the the PRAM reset but I guess my timing is off because I keep running into the boot menu. I have a pair of Dre. Pro's that I am using and work fine on everything else I own. Thanks for the help

Hi y,
There is a switch inside the audio jack that may be stuck. Try gently inserting an audio plug, gently wiggling it, and then removing the audio plug.

Is my headset jack faulty

i cannot secure any male earbud piece with the headset jack. is this common? any suggestions?

Every 3.5mm minijack from even a 1980 walkman should work if they dont it phone is likely the cause

Using the headset jack with my accessory jack in car.

I have a question about using the headset jack in my car. When the iphone is plugged into my radio, how are phone calls received. Does the audio come through the car speakers or do you use the phone like you would with out it hooked up to the car.
Thanks in advance.

The audio does not come out through the headphone jack to your car speakers. Phone call audio uses the built-in speaker and microphone, or a Bluetooth headset if one is paired. I have noticed that if I connect the aux patch cable +while a call is in progress+, audio is sent out to the car stereo.
