Airtunes interference - terrible ringing noise

I'm having problems with my airtunes. I get a terrible ringing noise coming through the speakers which makes it almost impossible to use. Does anyone have a solution? I've tried with 'interference robustness' but it makes no difference. The high pitched ring gives me a headache after 10 minutes and i have to turn it off. Ideas?

Two things to consider:
o The power source, and
o Wi-Fi interference
On the former, have you tried plugging the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) in either another outlet or to a noise-canceling power strip?
On the latter, I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like MacStumbler or iStumbler to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible.

  • Audio interference - loud ringing noise

    While broadcasting to Livestream using FMLE and a Panasonic HVX200 camera i am getting some kind of interference in my audio. Its a loud ringing noise. This happens no matter what kind of microphone i use and only happens when i am in my office. I tried the same thing a home and the noise was gone. I have tested the computer, camera, and microphone and they are all in perfect working condition. Something to note, i have done the same test using Wirecast to broadcast instead of FMLE and there was no interference noise. What could it be? I am going crazy trying to figure it out.

    HStany, Can you upoad FMLE debug log files for the same settings? FMLE debug logging is disabled by default and can be enabled from <FMLE_Instalation_Dir>/conf/config.xml under <logs>/<enable> tag. Debug logs will be crated inside "My Videos" folder in folder named stats_mmddyyyy. Launch the FMLE after enabling the logs and start the session. After stopping the session, zip the folder and upload. Do not forget to disable debug logging after you are done because debug logging requires considerable disk space for long encoding sessions.

  • Weird ringing noise when laptop is plugged into AC - HP ENVY 14-2050se Beats Edition Notebook PC

    Hi, last month I bought this HP ENVY 14-2050se Beats Edition Notebook from a nearby electronics store and I loved it from first sight. Except a few problems emerged when I first turned it on at home. First, yes I did a full hp recovery factory restore when I got home. It is running Windows 7 Home Premium and I already tried muting the microphone and speakers and it has not solved the problem whatsoever but it only shows up when I have my Envy plugged into AC power, on battery it makes no noises.
    The problem is that whenever it is plugged in it makes a weird ringing noise which is very clear and hearable to me and my friends and gives me headaches constantly. The noise is almost identicle to that ringing noise you get in your ears after hearing very loud noises. I tried using my mom's HP ac adapter on my Envy and it still produces the noise so its not the adapter itself im assuming. Also, sometimes when playing music or watching videos on youtube it will hang for a split second or so once every while and make a weird buzzing noise, im assuming that could be normal behavior though and im not as worried about that so much as my other problem.
    Any help is greatly appreciated, I just want to enjoy this great laptop!
    Sincerely, Lance Shults 

    Hi, you aren't the only one.
    I have a HP Envy, and I have this rining noise as well.
    it is odd.
    If I had to take a guess (I've been in IT for almost 17 years), I think it might be the power supply for some reason, in the laptop.  Not the external supply.
    Nearest I can say is it is a fast paced ring/ding.
    Is yours similar?

  • How can I eliminate a ringing noise from a 60 Hz analog notch filter?

    Using 60Hz analog notch filter may cause some ringing noise for the signal of cutoff frequency edges. Do you have a method excluding such a ringing noise? I guess that a deconvolution method will be helpful for the problem but I cannot apply that properly.

    ELCA,
    A different approach is to average in the time domain.
    I suggest a method called 'boxcar' used in physics labs sometimes.
    Slice your time between two triggers in let's say twelve equal time slots and do a lowpass (f0) on
    each slot.
    The result is a stepwise approximation of your curve. In the frequency domain this is about the same
    as a bandpass at the cardiay frequency with the bandwith f0
    60 Hz signal is problem only if your rats heart beats inside this bandpass. But when it is at 60 Hz
    you might have lots of difficulties anyhoe ;-)

  • Pre has a high pitched ringing noise while on touchstone

    Every time I set my Pre on the touchstone, the second it starts charging it has this high pitched ringing noise, like the kind older people lose the ability to hear. Is there any way I can get this to quit?
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

    Same problem here. At first I thought it was the touchstone, but it seems like it is coming straight from the Pre. Turning down the volume on the speaker does nothing. Turning up the volume works though - when you are playing music! ;-)

  • Terrible feedback/noise using jamlab with macbook

    I don't know where else to post this. I'm sure it's a macbook issue, as I used the same jamlab with my mini.
    Whenever I use distortion (i've been playing guitar for over 15 years, so I know how much distortion is too much etc... in this case, anything in the 'saturated' range) screams feedback, even when using headphones. I only use headphones.
    I also bought a preamp to see if it was an input/gain issue. No Help.
    Here are some things I've tried:
    - Using aggregate device to use headphones out of macbook, input of jamlab. No help.
    - Muting all unused devices (built-in mic, line-in etc..) No Help
    - Unplugging from power source. No Help
    - Using different USB port, turning off bluetooth, wifi etc. No help!
    Something interesting to note; when looking at the meters and the noise is present, they sit flat, not necessarily redlining, but they're not pumping, they're hitting a wall. The screeching feedback only occurs in the absence of notes. When I select 'no output' on the channel the levels are empty and respond as they should when playing guitar. They bounce when I play, remain silent when I'm not playing. However, this is pointless because I want to hear what I'm playing. The meters also behave this way (normal) when I unplug the headphones (not routed to speakers or any other to-air output)
    I'm been getting into amp sims lately, and this is just annoying the **** out of me. A noise gate would be of no use because I'm incorporating volume swells, rests, and sustained notes...for me a gate just ruins all those things.
    Anyone else experience this? I have the latest driver as well.

    You should have a line-in jack right next to the headphone-out jack on your Macbook, no? Then in GB's Prefs choose built-in for you input.
    I strongly doubt that the line-in would pick up anything from an iPhone headset. You would have to untangle the in/out wiring of that headset, and then the level would still be much too low for a line-in. Think of all the stereo headsets that work with Windows machines but not with a Mac because it has a line-level input and not a mic-level.

  • Anyone else getting interference, crackle, whistling noise on BBC radio streams?

    I have been listening to BBC Radio on iTunes for years - and it has had its issues - but generally pretty solid.
    I have recently noticed a background whistling/whine/crackle in the background. I don't get it on iPlayer or the live web stream from the BBC, but with the iTunes stream I get it on all my PC's and Mac in the house.
    Anyone have any ideas what it could be? Or is anyone having the same issue?
    Not sure if its something wrong with my LAN or other local issue. Any insight much appreciated.

  • C2D MBP terrible audio noise when DVI connected?

    Just got my 2.33GHz C2D MBP, and while the machine is amazing overall, I'm having serious problems with the audio.
    In short, when I have my monitor (Dell 2105FPW) connected via DVI, I get an incredible amount of electronic noise through the audio output, *but only when the output is connected to an amplifier*. If connected via VGA, the noise is still present, but much quieter. If I use headphones, the sound is fine. This noise is present and the same volume regardless of the Mac's volume setting.
    I've tried with my powered studio monitors, my home stereo system and my headphone amp; all exhibit the noise, to varying degrees.
    I would blame the video monitor, but I have used a G4 Powerbook, a G5 Powermac and two Intel Mac minis in exactly this configuration, with zero noise. I've run from batteries, removed everything else on the same power circuit, moved all of the equipment to another room, nothing helps, other than to unplug the monitor (which makes it hard to see ;-)). I don't have another DVI monitor to try, but am going to try to borrow one.
    I had it in for repair for a sticky keyboard (back now with 50% less stick!), and the tech of course didn't have amps laying around and found, as I did, that it sounds fine w/ headphones.
    I'll try to get a recording of this and will put a link up when/if I do.
    Any enlightment would be greatly appreciated.

    I should have mentioned that this is not a 60 cycle hum or anything like that. I sounds like when I was a kid and would set my AM radio up next to my TRS-80 (before the band, there was the computer) and listen to the intererence. High-pitched whining/whistling w/ the occasional pops and click.

  • Printer making a terrible grinding noise after each page printed

    My new HP Officejet 4620 is making a grinding sound after each page printed.  I have checked to make sure all packaging material have been removed.  Anyone else having this issue?

    Could still have something stuck in the printer, I would follow the steps in the link below, and if that doesn't work - call HP as the printer is so new.

  • Is my powerbook dying?

    Hi guys,
    I have had a reletively uneventful life with my powerbook and thats the way I like to keep it. Until two days ago when after leaving it to charge for an hour or two i returned to find it had powered itself off.
    'Starnge' I thought, so I tried to power it back up and walked way and thought nothing of it. I returned about 5 minutes later hoping to have the usual login screen and found it with the Apple logo and the boot up spinning ball still going.
    I held the power button to force a shut down and tried again, only this time I got a gray screen and a quiet humming/slight clicking noise(presumably from the hard drive) that sounded different from the norm.
    After roughly 15 minutes with the same grey screen I tried to force shut down again when it made a terrible ringing noise that I've never heard a Mac make before. Now I'm scared... I grabbed the hardware test CD and booted it up. Ran the extended test and it stoped on the 'Mass Storage' test noting it as failed with an error code of
    '2STF/8/3: ATA-100 ata-6 -Master'
    I then shut it down and when I woke in the morning I powered it up again (on the off chance). It restarted itself three times and on the third time it booted as per normnal to the login screen.
    I logged on, checked the smart status (all verified) and ran repair permissions three times (as I do on a weekly basis).
    So... Does this mean my hardrive is failing? Or is it something else?
    I should also mention that I use a FW external drive as per my details below but his was not plugged in whilst I was running the hardware test.
    Hoping someone can provide some advise.
    Thanks,

    As Tom has suggested, you need to backup IMMEDIATELY - whilst you still have the opportunity. Your PowerBook's hard drive is failing. What catches people out is that failing hard drives can seemingly work normally for a period of time after the initial problem symptoms. However the drive will fail terminally at some point. Whether that failure happens in hours, days, weeks or months is down to the individual drive.

  • A New MBP Noise?

    I know all about the reported noises from MBPs, but I think that I have found something slightly different. When I connect the MBP to analog speakers via the headphone out port, there is a terrible hissing noise coming from the speakers. I tested the same cables and speakers with a new MacMini and had no problems.
    Has anyone seen this problem yet?

    Very easy way to test it. Plug in your speakers and open Photobooth. If the noise stops, your MBP is plagued by the famous whine. If not there must be some interferences caused by the MBP internal components, or external sources.
    Either way, its annoying. I haven't noticed that running my mbp on a kenwood amp. But this and other issues make a mockery of the PRO suffix of the machine.
    Cheers.
