Can hear noise while X-fi is switched

I just got a 8gb Zen X-fi and when I switch it off I can hear noise coming from the headphones. It's not loud but noticeable if you're in a quiet room. When I switch it back on again I can't hear it anymore. I was wondering is this supposed to be normal? (I'm guessing it's not). It seems that if I were to keep the headphones plugged in while it's switched off and leave it overnight for example there would be some impact on the battery... because the **bleep** thing is still "on" in a way.

The AudioConsole would be more than enough. It comes with the drivers, you can adjust all settings and is pretty simple.

  • Can't update/ also hear noises while connected to mac

    I have an OBS, 20G Ipod color display. Recently, I decided to use it to connect to my 2012 chevy cruze through my car's USB port. It plays for about a minute then a message displays on my cars screen saying device cannot be identifyed and it stops playing. After that, I figued maybe my Ipod needs an update. The software is version 1.2.1 and my itunes is saying my ipod is up to date, which I know isn't true. My ipod also says the format is Windows, which may be a problem as I now have a Mac.
    I have the latest itunes and I have a Mac OS X 10.9.2.
    I have also noticed my ipod making a clicking sound while it's connected to my mac. It continues to click after I unplugged it as well for a good few minutes while displaying "do not disconnect" with the big red symbol across. When the clicking fully stopped, the "do not disconnect" message went away and I was able to get back into my ipod.
    Now, I realize my device is very old. But are there any suggestions for my situation? Ultimately, I want to use it in my car since my android is not recognized by my cars USB port.

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
    If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

  • When I publish a video, I lose half of the audio in "audio 2". I can hear it while editing. How do I fix this?

    I published a video as an mpeg, and when I listened to the final product it was missing some music I had in the "audio 2" slot. How do I fix this?

    Cameron
    Is the problem Audio Track 2 music from any of your royalty free music websites? Is the sound missing in the export
    standalone audio files
    or
    audio that is linked to video?
    What is directly under or above these files on the Timeline?
    Download and install the free codec utility named GSpot.
    And, tell us the readouts for Audio name, codec, and status.
    GSpot Codec Information Appliance
    If also video component of the file, then please include the Video name, codec, and status information from the GSpot readout.
    See what information you can put together on the properties of those royalty free audio files, including file extension. Are you dealing with Stereo or 5.1 channel (AAC or Dolby Digital)?
    As for project preset, versions 11 and 12 were designed so that the project takes charge of setting the project settings based on the properties of
    the first file drag to the Timeline. Sometimes it does it right. Sometimes not. If not, then you set the project preset manually using the properties of
    your file. See ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE11: Accuracy of Automatic Project Preset (New Project Dialog) Setting
    Lots of additional questions...curious how you hear the Audio 2 audio in Edit area but not in the exported file which you report as
    Publish+Share>Computer>MPEG under the preset "MPEG2 1920x1080i 30.
    Any export setting customization going on under the Advanced Button/Video Tab and Audio Tab of that preset?
    Please review and consider and then we will decide what next.
    Thank you.

  • HT1689 When I use Skype on my itouch it works fine and we both hear each other but then when I plug headphones in, they can only hear me. How can I make it so they can hear me while I have headphones plugged in

    ??

    If the Skype app does not have a setting to continue to use the mic built into the iPod when headphones are plugged in, you will have to use a pair of headphones that includes a mic.

  • I can hear my mouse wheel, through the speakers

    Since the last update I can hear noise from my mouse wheel, through the speakers. What is up? It is rather annoying!

    Can you hear the noise if you only open one tab to one very simple page that doesn't have any audio/video content? There are some strange "audio quality" issues with the June 8th Flash 11.3 release; I wonder whether that is involved in your case.

  • When I record a video on my iPhone 4s, I play it back and it has this buzzing noise playing, even when I focus on something while filming, when I play the video back, you can hear when I've tapped to focus, how can I fix this?

    Ever since I got my Iphone 4s, I have noticed that when I film a video and play it back, it has this buzzing noise and when im in the middle of filming a video and I focus on something, you can hear a click where I have focused when I play it back, is this the microphone? can I fix it myself? or do i have to take my iPhone in to be properly fixed? Help Me please!!

    See this veeeeeeeeeery long thread.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3404857
    It's an issue with hundreds of phones.  Some claim it's software related, some hardware, some say it's a mixture of both.
    Some people have had temporary success with quitting the Phone.app / restoring as a new phone / restoring from an iCloud backup / disabling Siri / toggling speakerphone on & off...
    Unfortunately all of the above only been temporary, with the problem recurring again after a few calls, or a few days etc.
    So far the only solution that seems permanent has been to replace the phone.  But even so, it's the luck of the draw to recieve a functional phone, and not another faulty one.
    I'm completely annoyed as there is no Apple Store near me...... and Apple haven't even acknowledged the issue, despite the above thread being 34 pages long, as of writing.

  • Mac Mini emitting beep-like noises while switched on

    Hi all,
    I have a late 2011 Mac Mini which has been working fine until today.
    Today, it started emitting really annoying beep like noises while switched on. The Mac Mini functions as usual, safe for the really loud, really annoying beeping noises, which seem pretty much to occur randomly, and sound pretty random too (as opposed to steady system warning beeps).
    I also opened the Mac-Mini hatch, checked the RAM was connected properly, and removed dust/fluff, but the beeping still happens.
    I ran the Apple Diagnostic and also checked the Disk using disk utility, but got no errors, and I can't seem to find anyone who has had a similar issue on the net.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

    Google -- Mac Mini blinks and beeps
    when turned on
    It will take you to where you need to go to solve this problem.
    Mine did that and it took me to Apple Support page identifying what was going on.
    Slow blinks, fast blinks, etc etc

    We have a MacBook Pro and it is usually quiet, but it sits in a stand to allow air under the bottom.
    Just my opinion, but based on experience.
    You are still eligible to purchase the longer term AppleCare warranty I think (3 years if my memory is correct). While it is an expense that you may never need, in my opinion, it is cheap insurance based on the cost to repair computers. I buy it and more than once it has paid for itself many times over. Not that Apple products are bad, but electronics do weird things at times.

  • ADSL dropping out and can hear router noise throug...

    I recently switched to BT from Sky and have had a problem with intermittent dropouts and slow speeds with both providers. Along with this, I can hear router noises on the telephone line. I have tried the microfilter in the master socket and test socket and the problem occurs with both of them. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?

    have you tried another filter or router if available

  • IPhone 5S: does anybody has this problem. During a successful voice call all of a sudden people can't hear me while I can hear them

    iPhone 5S: does anybody has this problem. During a successful voice call all of a sudden people can't hear me while I can hear them. Signal is strong and call quality (me hearing the other) is still very good but it looks as if I’m going on mute while I’m not muting my iPhone. When dropping the call and re-dialing it works fine again. It’s a brand new iPhone 5S but it now happened already 4 or 5 times in 2 days.
    It feels like a hardware/iOS problem and not a network issue. It happend with iOS7.03 but I just see 7.0.4 is available so will install that one now.
    Thanks in advance for feedback
    Best regards,
    Marco

    Hello Jeff,
    Thank you for providing so much detail about the issue you are experiencing with the audio on your iPhone.  I would be concerned too if the audio on my iPhone was not working unless using speaker phone.  I found an article with some steps to take when you are experiencing issues like this:

  • TS3367 I am currently in South Africa and have tried to FaceTime my family using my ipad to their ipad, however when I make the call, I can hear the ringing but after a while it says the other party is not available, but she is

    I am current in Sotheby's Africa and trying to FaceTime my daughter who also has the same ipad as me. My son in law also has the ipad. Despite using my daughters email, I cannot get through to her or my son in law. When I hit FaceTime I can hear the ringing tone, but after a while it comes up saying my daughter is not available, but she is sat by her ipad in the UK. I have checked everything is working so what can I do now to get through to her, especially for Xmas day.

  • No ringing while connecting to a number on an iphone 5 ATT but they can hear me and I can not hear them.

    I have an iphone 5 with ATT and sometimes (very randomly) when making a call, it does not make a ringing sound (like it is not connecting), but it has connected and the other person can hear me but I can't hear them at all.  When I do try and say "hello" to see if they can hear me all I hear is my own voice echoing back.  Other times the phone conncts and rings immediately and I know then that the call is working.
    I actually got it to do this while on the phone on my landline with applecare. I did all of the resets with Apple and they determined it was a hardware problem and I received a new phone. It seemed to be ok, but three days after activating it, the same thing happened. There does not seem to be any common factor.  It happens with landlines, cell phones, inside, outside and it does not always do it to the same number twice.  It is a complete crap shoot. I have noticed that is it much more likely to happen if I go through "contacts" or "recents" to make the call. It has also happened a few times when using Siri to call. I never know until I don't hear the ringing sound that the call is messed up.  This is awful when trying to contact a business and you have to keep calling them back.  Anyone else? 

    Thank you for taking the time to reply! Yes. I did back up the first phone in itunes and updated the new phone with that information. During the diagnostics with apple on the first phone, I did completely wipe the phone clean and it still had the same problem --- again randomly.  The technician today did want to do a complete factory reset on this phone but my question is if it is something that I am re-loading on the phone, how do we know what it is?!  Also, if the other phone acted up without anything on it before I was hesistant to do it again. It is a lengthy process! I was to try and use the phone without the case (otterbox defender) and see if it would mess up --- which it did. So it's not the case.  I am still wondering if it is an ATT/iphone issue.   Again - thanks for your help!

  • I'm having trouble making calls with my Iphone 4. When I try to, the person on the other side can't hear me, and all I can hear are noises. But when I use apps like Viber or Facetime, I can make calls just fine! What may be the problem?

    Did you fix the problem? I have the same problem and it has been pain in the neck.
