Buzzing sound when connecting headphones to Mi

Quick question (maybe some folks can try this outfor me and let me know their findings):
I plugged my headphones into my Zen Micro today while I was wearing them (Shure ec2). The player was turned off. I heard a buzzing sound as I inserted the headphone jack, indicating that there was power applied to the jack, even with the player off. Is this normal?
I'm not overly concerned, just curious.

Thanks, all.
Maybe it is related to battery drain. I will say this, though:
My Zen Micro seems to hold a charge much better tham my first generation iPod. If I left my iPod sit for more than a day or two, it would have to be recharged. Not so with my Zen Micro.

  • Buzzing sound when connecting my new airport express to bose system

    I recently purchased the new Airport express with the purpose of streaming my music from itunes to my bose system. As soon as I connect my stereo to the Airport express a loud buzzin sound comes out even if the stereo volume is low.
    I've tried the same cable plugged straight from the stereo to my ipad or laptop and this buzzing sound is not there at all. This only happens when I connect the stereo to the new Airport express.
    Please help, before I have no option but to return it.
    The device firmware is up to date.

    Temporarily, plug a pair of headphones into the audio jack on the AirPort Express and test to see if you still hear the buzzing.
    If no, then the Express is operating correctly. The issue is somewhere else....either an intermittent connection in your audio cable, or the jack on the Bose system is defective.
    If you still hear the buzzing when you test the AirPort Express with a pair of headphones, the Express is defective and will need to be returned.

    Some progess I see. To be honest, i would not waste your time with trying to connect using wireless.
    You are likely to get poor connections and dropping out.
    If its working using a cable, then there is no need to bother with giving me the network settings, bu see how it goes, because sometimes giving the TV a static IP address can give better results.
    There is an example of a couple of powerline adapters on the diagram below. Just ignore the network switch unless you want to connect other devices which are near to the TV.

  • After a successful home button repair, I've got a buzzing sound when I make or receive calls. No problem with the speaker as I can listen to online radio stations and my music.

    After a successful home button repair on my iPhone 4, I've got a buzzing sound when I make or receive calls. No problem with the speaker as I can listen to online radio stations and my music.

    I guess your definition of a "successful repair" is different from most people's.
    If you got it serviced by Apple, take it back to them.
    If you had it serviced by a 3rd party, Apple won't touch it. Take it back to whoeever fixed it for you.

    lightning to 30 pin adaptor giving no sound when connected to docking station

    I am always amazed in these forums by the number of people who think they are helping by asking obvious questions about the problem with no clue what the real issue is or how to help.
    That being said:
    I had the same problem after upgrading.
    Could boot your tablet, should fix the problem.
    1. power off the unit.
    2. Power on by holding the power button and volume up button at the same time.
    3. using the volume up and down button as a right and left curser, selectt the Android icon and press the power button.
    4. this will cold boot the system and the various dock functions should return.
    Warning: Selecting anything else but the android icon will reset the device to factory defaults and wipeout all your info.

  • Buzzing sound when plugging in guitars

    I've been getting this buzzing sound when I plug in any electric guitar or bass into my computer's audio input. This used to happen only when I used my telecaster, and I figured it was just the make, but now it's happening with my other electric and to basses to... it also varies in volume depending on the day.

    Buzzing and hum can be caused by a lot of things. Your tele was probably getting the buzz from a single coil pickup.
    First make sure it's not your guitar cable, it's a long wire just like a antenna and can pickup stray noises from RF and electromagnetic devices.
    Bad ground in your guitar or bad solder joint guitar or cable.
    Move things around lights, speakers, TVs, computers and just about anything electrical can cause noise.

  • Squeeking sound when connecting but no display

    My ipod non 1G makes squeeking sound when connecting to my computer but no display and no functionality. When disconnecting from computer he is completely dead. Any idea which component is causing that so I can repair it?

    Yes it is.
    I've also tried putting it into different USB ports as well as 3.0 and 2.0.
    And im sure that the screen works because it works fine with my MacBook Pro, so im thinking that i need some sort of driver... Not sure though...

  • Buzzing sound when charging my ipad

    My iPad Mini makes a buzzing sound when charging. What should I do?

    that is not normal.  If you are a very aggresive listener - and hear things that other prople don't - ignore the buzz.  If it is noticable to others as well, take it in for a diagnosis.

  • Iphone 3 only blank light screen after fall on floor...say sound when connecting to Itunes

    the Iphone is not broken, but it only shows a light blue/white screen. It gives a sound when connecting to Itunes. I have tried ti hardboot but no help. im now trying to recover trough Itunes but the screen is still light blue. it can be the graphic somehow??
    What to do?
    The Phone was falled out of my hands

    The phone is CERTAINLY broken.  It worked immediately before you dropped it, and stopped working right after.  What makes you think that your dropping the phone didn't break it?
    You have 3 choices:
    You can bring your phone to Apple and pay for an out of warranty exchange ($149 in the US)
    You can buy another phone
    You can find a 3rd party repair shop in your area and see if they can ifx it.

  • Getting a buzzing sound when power connector connected

    Hello,
    Everytime I connect my power-connector to my powerbook, i get a buzzing sound, which sounds like something is being written to the hard drive. When I dont have the power-connector connected, the computer buzzing vanishes. Has anyone else experienced this? Does the battery really have to charge that loudly?
    Thanks in advance.

    What type of AC adapter do you have?
    The Aluminum 15-inch and 17-inch MUST use a 65W adapter. Contrary to popular belief, the 45W adapters are not meant for these machines, even though they "work."
    When I plugged a Titanium PowerBook's adapter to my aluminum 15-inch PowerBook, I got a buzzing sound emanating (coming out) from the AC's "brick." The TiBook's adapter was a 45W.
    While connected to the standard 65W adapter, no problems with my aluminum 15-inch PowerBook.
    45W is lower rated and doesn't have enough juice to charge your 15-inch or 17-inch correctly. While it is charging and providing power, it is weaker. You may notice it takes longer to charge your battery when connected to a 45W adapter as opposed to the 65W one.
    Though, playing devil's advocate, some 65W adapters can make that buzzing sound if they are faulty or damaged.
    SIDE NOTE: This makes it seem like the 65W adapter is then, logically, not good to use with the 12-inch PowerBook G4, but it is fine. The original adapter supplied with the 12-inch PowerBook G4s are rated 45W, but they replaced it later down the road with the 65W adapter. (If you get it replaced with AppleCare via mail-in service, you get a 45W replacement part. Though at times, 65W part. If you get it replaced with AppleCare via the retail's Genius Bar, they give you a 65W brick. Also, the compatibility chart for the 65W shows it to work with all aluminum PowerBook G4s).

    I'm not an electrical expert so someone may be able to corroborate my words above, but in better terms. For instance, the reason why the 65W works with the 12-inch PowerBook is that even though it supplies more power, the 12-inch can only receive 45W. On the 15-inch and 17-inch models, it needs 65W, so using a 45W "strains" the AC adapter because it is trying to draw more "power" (the 65W) it needs from a weaker plug. Thus the buzzing noise.
    Like I said, someone else can explain that better, if it doesn't make sense. =)

  • Iphone 4 makes an continuous intermittent vibration/buzzing sound when plugged into any of computer's 3 usb ports; does not show in itunes or Windows Vista device manager. No problem charging the phone with other power sources. What's going on?

    This problem happened intermittently in the past but now happens every time I plug in the phone. I suspect it might be a problem with my computer, an Acer Aspire 4530, perhaps with it's charging function via usb ports? The phone makes the same buzzing sound twice when I connect to other power sources, but continues when connected to computer. I have this issue even when the phone is 100% charged.
