Adobe apps adding strange buzzing sound to my audio system when opened.

When I open Adobe apps, a strange buzzing occurs in my audio rig. I first noticed it in Premiere Pro, but it also happens when I'm editing tracks in Audition. This proves difficult when editing audio, as I think the noise is coming from my tracks, but the tracks are clean.

I've bumped the audio level on this recording to make it easier to hear, but it's much more subtle when i'm working. At 44 seconds, you can hear the noise drop out when I close Premiere Pro CC.
Some info about my system:
Mid 2010 Mac Pro 8 Core with 32GB RAM
Latest versions of Premiere Pro CC and Audition CC
Mackie Onyx Blackjack Interface
Mackie Big Knob Command Syste

I have heard that electronic noise before and its hard to isolate which component is generating it. I suspect it's one of the HDD's because that is the device I have most often heard that from. You can get ground loop noise through an audio interface as well but I assume that noise is not coming through the speakers only. Is that the case?

  • Strange buzzing sound under keyboard!!

    I keep getting a strange buzzing sound sometimes when I use my macbook. And its not when im using a specific application. It just randomly starts and only stops if I shut the laptop. And after that if I try to open it, it starts to make the sound. What should I do?

    wow took me forever to create an account to reply to this.
    I've got the same problem on my aluminum macbook.
    the sound is quite loud and can hear it over some background noise. it doesnt sound like a typical fan / disk. because i can identify the sound of the fan when it turns on and it doesnt start stop when alot of disk read/writes are happening or stopping. but say it is the disk, im worried.
    since there arent a huge swash of people reporting this issue, im guessing its not normal behavior.
    lucky buggers in the states can take their units back to the apple store and get it sorted. here in hong kong you've got to argue beg and plead to convince the distributer staff to replace the unit. which also means id be without this computer for some time while they figure it out.
    Has anyone taken their macs back and gotten it fixed or exchanged? or is this pushed back on as normal behavior?

  • Strange buzzing sound----Toshiba 39L1350U LED TV

    I just purchased a Toshiba 39L1350U LED TV and when I turn on the power a strange buzzing sounds appears and does not go away. The sound is not coming from the speakers. The sound is louder at the back side of the tv. Any information on this issue or how to make the sound go away would be greatly appreciated.

    Try plugging TV into another outlet to verify interference from other appliances.  Also, try turning off any floursecent or curly bulbs.

  • Rented iTune movies over ATV gives only buzzing sound - no other audio

    Purchased a movie for the first time on Apple TV 2 over iTunes. Picture is OK, sound is a loud buzzing. No other audio. Everything else sounds fine on ATV. I have watched Netflix movies, podcasts, and owned material with no problem. HDMI connection from ATV directly to TV. Changed the audio settings to 16 bit and to Auto. Same result.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Go to your iTunes account on the computer, find the movie in your purchase history and select 'report a problem'.

  • Strange JPG bug. Lost image details when open it in PS. It looks sharper.

    Hello.
    Strange problem found.
    This problem recur in Windows/Mac environment and in the CS4, CS3, CS2 and even 5.5 :-) (maybe others) versions of PS.
    When open some JPG images in Photoshop, some details lost and image looks sharper/grainy then it is.
    I've tested jpg's created by 3d editing program, downloaded from web etc on different PC's and still same problem, only in PS.
    Any ideas?
    I think, it's not driver problem, because of problem iterations on different machines and in PS only.
    CS4 11.0.1 installed, nvidia fx3700 latest drivers installed.
    Original image in attachment, to open it ps and see the bug.

    I didn't see any of that.
    What I did see was that when opened and viewed in Paintshop pro X2 the picture was the same.
    When opened and viewed in PS CS4 extended the red color was noticeabley washed out.
    I must have something adjusted wrong in PS. 

  • Buzzing sound from left of powerbook when tilted

    If I tilt my powerbook at all I hear a buzzing noise coming from the left side of the powerbook. This has been somewhat recent and I wasnt sure what the problem was.
    Any suggestions?

    Likely it's a loose fan, which I wouldn't not take care further.

  • When I try to open Adobe Acrobat XI Pro it just freezes, it also freezes when opening a PDF document. What can be done to resolve this or troubleshoot this?

    Adobe Acrobat Pro XI is having some issues. When just the base program opens it freezes before I can even do anything with preferences. The same thing happens when I open a PDF document from anywhere. I have cleared the %temp% directory and repair installed the program with no success in finding a resolution to this issue. I have removed Adobe AIR as a thread indicated that this program could be the cause of some issues. I even restarted the print spooler as that was mentioned in a different post on Adobe Support Forums.

    I would suggest rebooting (particularly if you have not) and log in as the administrator. Also, it sounds like you can open Acrobat, but then it locks up when you try to do the preferences. So in that case go to Help>Repair and apply that. Then repeat the process with Help>Updates to get current. See if that resolves the issues. Since you mentioned %temp%, I assume you are on a windows machine, but which one?

  • Pages 5.5: app doesn't appear in dock or tab bar when open

    We are seeing this issue on the two macs in our office we tested (mine and a coworkers). To reproduce it:
    Open pages
    Click "Done" on the open/new document window (or simply close all documents you have open)
    Click the desktop to send Pages to the background
    If you Cmd+Tab, Pages doesn't appear for us. It also doesn't appear in the dock. Activity Monitor shows the app is still running and using spotlight to "open" it again brings it back to the foreground.
    Is anyone else having this same problem?
    Pages 5.5 2109
    Yosemite 10.10
    MBP 13", 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    8 GB RAM
    256 GB SSD

    Newly downloaded apps will appear in the column on the left. The images on the right show what is installed on the device. Perphaps the logic has changed slightly with older builds also including what would be synced as well. Untick the box that says Automatically sync new apps and you can choose whether or not to include a new app instead of syncing, then removing.

  • I show 4 app updates needed on my ipad2 but none there when open App Store.

    I cannot update my apps even though it shows 4 updates needed on my iPad 2. Anyone else having this issue?

    Found a tip on another thread:
    Open App Store
    Click on purchased
    Listed are all your apps
    The ones that need updated will have an update bottom to manually tap

  • Adobe App's won't quit.

    Suddenly all of my Adobe app's, (Illustrator, Photoshop, Acrobat), refuse to Quit.
    When I choose Quit, they all just hang indefinately, so then I have to 'Force Quit', which works but I then I get that dialogue box asking if I want to report the problem to Adobe. Anyone else getting this? and is there a fix?
    Mac G5, OSX 10.5.8, Adobe CS4 Suite.
    Thanks.

    This has been happening for years
    Adobe applications take minutes to quit, refuse to quit, on "Force Quit" they will become inaccessible  but they won't show as inactive.  Meaning you can't access them, but they still show in the dock as though they are launched and you have to restart to be able to launch them again. 
    The worst are Adobe Acrobat and InDesign followed by Photoshop, Illustrator some and Bridge is typically pretty good.  It's a much more common complaint than you see on the boards here.  It has been and is ongoing.  I have encountered it on various Mac platforms and with various versions of CS. 
    Adobe will claim it is a system error or an install error, etc. . .   The problem is that it is ONLY Adobe applications that I have every encountered this with.  And it is always the SAME Adobe applications. I do find that it is even worse when the computer is connected to a server. 
    I am a huge fan of all of the Adobe products, but this is and has been a problem in the applications and I never see any discussion from Adobe about actually trying to figure it out.  Russell Goodman -above- is correct it has been going on for years.
    Get it fixed.

  • Buzzing sound when I press my w key on my new laptop

    I don't know what it is but when I press my w key on my new laptop it makes a buzzing sound. It does this when I am running something that needs the fan going a little faster so I think it might be grinding on the fan or something which is under where my w key is so I am a little worried. Can someone help me out please?

    Hi Vinny180, welcome to the HP Forums. It does sounds like a physical response to pressure when depressing the 'W' key. If that is the case, you would probably be best to contact support for repair options.

  • NEW BIOS UPDATE - Fixed buzzing sound from GPU?

    It says it fixed the buzzing sound near speaker and battery when on battery power. Could this be the issue that people with the Intel Proccesor have when on battery power it makes a noise?

    Hello,
    I don´t exactly know, if the bios update disable C4 states, to prevent buzzing.
    But if so, you´ll probably loose battery life, cause the cpu would´t get into lower power states.
    May be the fan (link in german) will be running more often, to keep the Nvidia chip cooler, also.
    I think if your TP suffers from whine, then give it a try or wait, till someone could tell us here
    about his experience.

  • TOOLS menu option missing from Adobe X Standard docs when opened in IE10

    Hi,
    A few of our users are having issues where any Adobe X document they open in Internet Explorer is missing the Tools menu bar on the top right of the document.
    If they open the document in Adobe directly, the Tools menu appears.
    It's only when opening in IE that the problem occurs.
    Enable third-party applications is checked in Internet Options > Advanced.
    I don't have this on my machine - IE displays the Tools menu correctly - so I can only assume it's a plug-in or a setting I'm missing on the users' machines.
    Any ideas?
    Cheers!

    Slightly confused - why wouldn't it be available? Is it a limitation of the browser being unable to activate the plug-ins which are part of Adobe Acrobat X Standard? It's just functionality for altering the layouts of PDFs, page numbering, etc. Should be fairly standard?
    Tools menu when opened directly in Adobe:
    No Tools menu when opening in browser:

  • Iphone dead. Was updating apps. Put the phone in my pocket. Minutes later heard a steady buzzing sound. It was my phone. I tried to turn it off: no luck.   It then went dead.

    Just finished making a phone call.  Noticed I needed to update apps.  Started that. Put the phone in my pants pocket. Minutes later heard a steady buzzing sound. It was my iphone. I pressed the phone, the screen was black. I tried turning it off from the top: it would not turn off. It kept buzzing. The Iphone went dead. Any ideas?
    thanks,
    Jeonisha

    I had a similar issue where my iPhone just died on me even though it had plenty of battery left. I was told to do a hard reset by holding the lock and home buttons down together for 15 seconds. When I did my phone came back on and worked normally.
