Busted sound on T520-- pop sound
Hi. Sound has busted on T520 for a few weeks now. I can hear sound when I plug in my earphones, but windows recognizes this as a speaker, conexant 20672. I checked the "find and fix audio playback problems" in windows 7 to no avail. I believe I may have to have my speakers repaired. I am still under base warranty until sometime next year. Any help greatly appreciated! Happy holidays.
See earlier post here in windows forum: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-hardware/lenovo-t520-audio-pop/46d0ee27-2...
Solved!
Go to Solution.
It has not been taken apart. Do I have to send it in somewhere? Here is my warranty info: "This product has a three year limited warranty and is entitled to depot repair service. Customers may call their local service center for more information. Dealers may provide carry-in repair for this product. Batteries have a one year warranty." I believe the laptop was purchased online. Where would I get in touch with a local service center? I live in Canada.

Upgrading to MacBook Pro, w/ Avid, today. Help ASAP!?
Oh goodness. I'm lost in a sea of information, not finding real answers, and running out of time. I know the answer to this is probably somewhere on the forum, but I've tried searching here, and elsewhere, and haven't found the answer yet.
Here's the facts:
-Currently using a PowerBook G4 w/ 10.4.8, and it's about to go kaputz (screen "lines" problem, and busted sound card)
-Going in to the Apple Store later today (Wednesday) to get a new MacBook Pro
(since the part required to fix my laptop is no longer made, they're giving me a trade-in deal)
-I'm a professional editor who must, no questions asked, run Avid XPress Pro (5.7.0).
The problem is that Avid only plays nice with 10.4.8 and doesn't even start up with anything higher. When I purchase my new MacBook Pro tomorrow/today, I'm sure that it will come with the latest upgrade. It will also have an iSight (etc) which will require that newer software. Can I have them downgrade the OS to 10.4.8, and still have it come with iSight support, "Spaces" etc...?
Also, is using "Spaces" (which I just heard about 20 minutes ago) an option for running Leopard, and Tiger at the same time, so I can have all the functions of Tiger, but still be able to run Avid on Leopard? Will Avid play nicely this way?
I'm SO sorry for the urgency, but i just got approval a few hours ago, and I'm leaving for the Apple Store in the morning, and due to an important work deadline, need this up and running ASAP.
Thanks all! I'll keep searching for my own answers, too!I'm afraid that current MBP's WON'T boot from Tiger at all Ethos Prod.
You will simply get kernel Panics at startup.
The previous SantaRosa models could be booted with Tiger 10.4.11, but not with earlier versions, from memory.
Your best bet is a second hand model from late 2006, if booting with 10.4.8 is essential, I'm afraid.
(see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1159?viewlocale=en_US for a listing of the OS's that came with particular MBPs)
You MAY be able to run a windows version of Avid using Bootcamp, on a new MPB, but I gather that there can be some problems with this , too. http://community.avid.com/forums/t/50246.aspx?PageIndex=12 may be worth a look.
Some people also suggest that version Avid 5.8 will more or less work under Leopard 10.5.2 or later, but not 5.7.

I recieved my new T520 this past Tuesday.
Whenever there is sound playing from Firefox or IE (java, youtube) as well as the Windows Media player, the sound is absolutely terrible from the built in speakers.
There is constant pops, hisses, crackles and pauses. It is absolutely maddening.
I have downloaded and installed:
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-76999
I've tried pluging in a USB headset (plantronics audio 626 HD) and the sound doesn't change.
Any suggestions?Wow, ok so I used that DPC tool (thank you!)
I disabled pretty much everything one by one until:

And my device manager says: 8.17.12.6871 fo the driver version. As soon as enable this device in the device manager the popping, hissing, crackling, and pauses comes back full force and the DPC tracker goes back to these huge red spikes. Now what?

So in the last few days I’ve noticed that pressing my volume change keys actually isn’t changing the volume on my macbook pro at all. When I press the volume up or down keys, it makes the recognisable pop sound but stays at the same volume while the squares go up or down. I mute it but my computer still makes sound. It’s the same with the volume control up the top of the screen, too. I slide it up and down and it doesn’t change the volume at all. The only way I can change the volume is with my speakers or the program I’m in (iTunes, VLC etc). I restarted and it seems to be okay then I go to change it a couple minutes later and it’s back to not working again.
I’ve checked my settings- the “use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard fuction keys” is not switched on, and I have tried a suggestion of moving the com.apple.systempreferences.plist file out of the library and onto the desktop and restarting and neither of those seem to make any difference whatsoever. I’ve tried to find online forums but the only suggestions I found were those two and they didn’t work.
I’m just annoyed because I usually have the worst luck with technology but my macbook had been going strong and I got it because of the apparent lack of things that could go wrong, but of course even if there is one thing that could go wrong it will happen to me.
Please help!You migh give resetting your NVRAM a try:

I've never had an issue with my sound on my MBP 15" 2011 model until I upgraded to Mavericks. Shortly after I upgraded, I started getting a 'popping' sound coming from the speakers even with the volume muted.
I'm trying to figure out what could be causing it by eliminating running programs but no luck yet. So far I've tried:
disabling graphic switching
disabling the Flash plug in for Chrome
Checking Voice over settings in accessibility (off)
Killing coreaudiod
So far, only killing coreaudiod has worked for any length of time.
I'm not playing a sound, I have nothing in the background that's generating sound (with the exception of MS Office 2013 running in Parallels generating meeting notification alerts - that seems to cause part of it) but something is obviously triggering it.
Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions?Might be corrupted audio preferences ..
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following;
/Library/Preferences/Audio
Click Go then move both .plist files from the Audio folder to the Trash.
com.apple.audioDeviceSettings.pllist
com.apple.audio.SystemSettings.plist
Restart your Mac. See if that made a difference ... -
My IPad 2 external speaker does not work and the original headphones have popping sound when used. This all occurred at the same time as my IPhone and IPod headphones only plays mono (and no, the "mono" option is not on) with the original headphones, as well as, other headphones tested. How can there be audio issue for all these devices at the same time?
As you may have noted from the list of Apple devices I own, I believed in the Apple and the products it was producing; but it is hard to believe from my experience and the other voices within the Apple Community that we are all experiencing the same hardware issues. Especially since I recently, I upgraded to an IPhone 4g (no, my faith in IPhone 5 series is very little) and is experiencing the same audio problem as described above. So now, I am off to the Apple store again to be told that it’s a hardware problem on new IPhone. Really? Apple, what happen to the pride in the product you were producing?Everyone does things a little differently. I love to "jam " along with iTunes ( or old Lp's) . Always have. That's where/how I've learned to play .
I'm sure leonieDF is giving a proper way to jam along on a keyboard with an iTune. He blows my mind all the time with what he knows. Nuff respects to him !
What I do is make a GB project I call "Jam With". I'll make several new tracks that are blank. Just has a few instruments named in the blank tracks. You can change those per song ...
Because I'm not concerned about changing the pitch / key.... of the iTune or the tempo ... I can simply play along with it.
Peace,

My current project is like many I have created in the past. I have removed the sound from my video clips and laid another soundtrack under the entire project. Now, when I add an iphoto still image to the project, when it goes back into video there is a popping sound. I've never had this happen in the past and have made many projects in the past just like this one. Any way to troubleshoot this issue? Thanks so much for your help.

A Single POP Sound from Left speaker, after system heavy load.
Hello From Russia)) I bought Brand New Macbook pro 15" Late 2011 Ci7, this is incredible machine. But a month past and i started to notice a very strange behavior:
When i using mac for resource "Eating" application or processes my computer starts to Heat-this is normal.
When i close all the apps here starts interesting) I have Istat installed, so i can see what temps are in my system. Computer is cooling, and when cpu reaches 50-55 degrees (Celsium, from 80 degrees, because of heavy load) ,my left speaker produces a single loud pop sound. (like something turning of may be)
In other terms of use absolutely is fine! It is very strange and i dont know is normal or not(
Thank you very much, and sorry for my english.That is not something I would expect. I would go to a repair facility and have it checked.

Win 8.1 update - sound popping / glitch in MetroTube and all APPS when scrubbing video
My phone Nokia 1020 was working fine. I then downloaded the over the air update for Win 8.1 and Cyan on Thursday 7th August from O2.
Since then I have experienced a loud popping / static noise when playing video in all apps (except StoryTeller)
Using built-in speaker:
When I play video in any App with a video scrubber and I scrub the time-line and realise the scrubber it makes a loud click or static pop.
It happens in everything including:
Mytube
Metrotube
Tubepro
Photos App (i.e Microsoft one - playing a recorded video in they all now have a loud click / static pop)
Xbox Video App (i.e Microsoft's own App)
Using Headphones:
There is no load click (It plays how it used to)
The odd bit is using the speaker and playing music tracks (mp3s etc) and scrubbing there is no static popping click it plays fine.
Video In Web Browser Fine:
Playing YouTube Videos in the web brower there is no popping / static click noise.
I have just downloaded 'xVideo' App and played a HD Music video in it and used scrubber and there is NO loud click.
Sound Glitches in Audio Clips at end of recordings in all these Apps:
Babbel - Learn Spanish
Coolang - Learn Spanish
Zeemish - Learn Spanish for Beginners
its really annoying and makes trying to listen and remember pronunciation of words difficult and frustrating. Phone was ok before Microsoft Windows 8.1 update now have this issue and issue with static build-up causing popping when fast forwarding through
videos. :( I am feed up
Conclusion:
This is software bug? please can anyone help/advise me on how to fix this and if anyone else is having same glitch with 8.1 update :(
All I can think of to fix is to somehow downgrade to Windows 8 if that's possible? :( *update its not possible using Nokia Recovery as it puts back Win 8.1.
It is a Software bug introduced in Windows Phone 8.1 update. It effects everything! including
Microsofts own Video Xbox App and
Photo App. See other people frustrations on this issue, its been going on since April!!!! please can you fix this is ruining my Windows Phone experience:

Microsoft need to fix this Video Popping urgently, I have tired to want to like Windowsphone but they keep going backwards and I am loosing faith.
If is not fixed soon i.e next few months I will never buy a Windows phone again and will recommend the same to friends and family. I had so much hope and expectation for 8.1 update :( love the Notification bar and battery icon but I can't live with
all this. :(Hello,
You should ask in the
Windows Phone forums on the Microsoft Community forums.
As the Microsoft Community is on a different platform, we cannot move the question for you.

I spilled some pop on the back of my iPad. I cleaned it off and everything seems to be going good but when I play music it will either play with no sound or play then continue with no sound. What can I do to fix this (without being costly, it's a iPad 2) this happens with other music apps too. Please I need help!
You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists. If it doesn't work, there isn;t much anyone here can do for you. It may be a physical problem with your speakers. -

My 24" IMac freezes and makes a popping sound in the speakers. What could be wrong?
Good afternoon
I have an early 2008 24" imac, 2.8GHz Intel cor 2 duo, mountnain lion 10.8.2. From time to time it suddenly stops, and makes a popping noise from the speakers and then the computer is frozen, i have to press the power button. This is now happening more often, at first i thought it might be flash as it use to happen on youtube videos, but today it froze whilst usling skype.
I read on the forms, but my problem is not exactly as the ones on forums.
Does anyone have this problem? Could it be the harddrive failing. I did a clean install of mountain lion last night and it happened still, the hard drive is a 320gb Hitatchi
Thanks
I have included a youtube link of what it looks and sounds like.
http://youtu.be/jBo9g2Z8U0EYou should try whats called a smc reset, look up HT3964 it should help, what you do is turn the imac off unplug the power cord from the back and hold down the power button for about 15 seconds then release and plug it back in.
If that doesnt work try a pram reset, HT1379, just google the number and it will pull up. -
Upgraded to iTunes 6.0.5 sound now clicks and pops.
I've been using iTunes 6 happily up until yeasterday when I was prompted to upgrade to 6.0.5. I did this and now the sound of all of my purchased music is like an old scratched vinyl LP. At regular intervals there are clicks and pops in the music.
This did not happen until I upgraded. Strangely if I play the same tracks in QuickTime Player rather than in iTunes they pay without faults. I've tried changing settings to Safe Mode (waveOut only)and it makes no difference to the quality of the playback.
So, is there any way to revert to the old iTunes installation or is there a fix for 6.0.5?
FWIW, QuickTime Player isn't much of a solution since it doesn't support playlists.just checking. have you tried working through the other possibilities (apart from the QT sound out settings) from this document?
