Cracking, popping, clicking noise on I-Trigue 3400

hey, sorry if this is a double post, this is first time:
I JUST bought these speakers from Fry's yesterday, and now my speakers have making this clicking/popping/clicking noise when ever i put the volume up on the control unit.
Is there a defect on this line of speakers? A Lot of other people seem to be having this problem... I didnt abuse these speakers at all, just casual listening.
Anyone PLEASE help! i might just go exchange the speakers, but first wanna see if i can fix it from my end.
Thanks all in advance!

I have wifi at home, so to conserve battery I only use edge when at home.
I'm noticing that on my iPhone 4, when I make or receive calls on EDGE, I hear an intermittent popping or clicking type of noise. At first I thought the person I was talking to kept touching the microphone on their phone.
This doesn't happen on 3G, only edge. I've called my other phone and placed my iPhone 4 on Hold, and I was STILL able to hear the noise.
Can someone please make a call on Edge to another phone and stay on the line for a few minutes to see if the same happens for them? It gets really annoying after a while. I can hear it when using the handset earpiece and also the earphones(which is REALLY annoying because it's more audible).
Setting aside the "noise" issue, why are you doing this at all? First of all, if you have WiFi, your iPhone automatically uses WiFi instead of 3G, so you're not gaining anything there. Second, EDGE is for data only, not voice, so, if you turn off 3G, you're using GSM for voice, which is a rather antiquated standard. Lots of electronic devices may interfere with a GSM signal, and for voice, 3G vs. GSM probably has no difference in battery usage. Third, and really the most important, if you're at home, why wouldn't you plug the iPhone into the charger overnight. Are you on the phone constantly?
Again, what you're doing is really kind of silly since it gains you nothing.

Cannot get rid of popping clicking noise when playing music ,HELP! PLEASE

hi, for perhaps the past few monthes, itunes has been creating loud and obnoxious popping and clicking noises every few seconds while playing music on EVERY song. i know its itunes because i have played songs on other media players and they work fine.ive tried the the QT 7 version of the waveout trick. ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling it numerous times, and trying older versions, however i can't go that far back in versions due to my somewhat new ipod holding me back (which btw, music works fine on that).If it were up to me id go and use a whole other media player but a good amount of my music has been bought or ripped in itunes codec. im out of luck and frankly its driving me crazy, please help.

Cracking/Popping/Beeping when movement on scr

I've got a Dell XPS Gen 5 with the Audigy that came with it installed. I have been running Vista for over a year with few problems with my sound. Over the last week, I seem have to developed a problem with sound and any 'movement' on the screen. If I'm playing music of any kind, and I have movement on the screen (mouse movement over hyperlinks, youtube videos playing, anything like that), I get the cracking/popping/beeping noise. When the movement stops, the noises go away.
I've upgraded both my video card (nv 8800GTS) to the latest drivers, and upgraded the soundcard to the latest drivers. Still occuring. I have not installed any new software on my machine in the past month.
Has anyone experienced anything like this, and what did they do about it's
Thanks!

The problem also occurs with the sound is outputted over HDMI or DisplayPort. Same pops/cracks... Hugely annoying.

IMac and Mouse A1152 - rapid clicking noise? Grounding issue?

June 2008
After browsing though all the posts on this board I cannot find an answer to the following question:
I have a new iMac and every day, after several hours of use the mouse makes a rapid clicking noise when I barely touch it. After trying it with another mouse (also a A1152) the same noise appears. This happens in different applications (i.e. Safari, Firefox) and I lose control of the programs as it sends series of unwanted rapid mouse clicks (cursor movements still work fine). If I restart the computer it will work fine for several hours. It also does not depend on the mouse pad (tried it with several) It almost appears as if the mouse sensitivity greatly increases after several hours of work. I read on another site this may be a grounding issue but can't find more info about this.
Any idea/suggestion how to solve this is welcome.

I had the same thing happening .. it is cause something is jammed in the mouse and makes the .. thing pop open where you can select what window to activate?? (pressing the 2 buttons on the side of the mouse) i think
Once I tried to crack open the mouse, but failed ( I got to open only the lower side of the mouse) and once I put it back together it was all ok ... I don't know...

Logic Pro 9 - Recorded audio just silly with crackling, clicking noise

PLEASE!!! Read my entire post before commenting. I don't mean to sound rude but I've posted this in several other forums and it's obvious they hadn't read/understood my issue based on the comments they left, ie., suggesting everything I've already tried, saying to contact tech support and even asking what comp and DAW I'm using... I've been dealing with this issue for ~8 months
SPECS
I use 2 daisy-chained Firepods connected to a Mac Pro Quad-core running 10.6.5 and Logic Pro 9.1.3.
I get the results described below whether I'm trying to record at 24 or 16 bit and at either 44.1K or 48K.
Generally I record 12 tracks simultaneously AND I always use the same inputs for each instrument; ie., Vocals = track 11, guitar = track 2, bass = track 1, etc...*
PROBLEM
Although this is a sporadic issue it happens to occur WAY more than it doesn't; ie., very rarely do I get a recording session without the anomaly.
The issue is that after I have recorded a session and listen back to the recorded material there are random crackles, pops, clicks throughout. When I audition tracks individually, some may have no crackling and some will have crackling at different points in time and of varying intensity. Every session is different as well, no two sessions are the same. One day I may have a perfect vocal track and a guitar track that is just silly with the crackling. The next day the guitar track may be fine but now the vocal track is all messed up with crackling. Another confounding point is that the crackling does not occur during periods of silence.
I will add that each Firepod appears to function properly (with no issue) all by it's lonesome - but that doesn't help me, I need 12 inputs minimum!
Things I've Tried
1. All new FW cables
2. Disconnecting the FW cable that goes from the Firepod to the Mac. Turn on the Mac. Turn on both Firepods, master first. Connect the FW cable that goes from the Firepod to the Mac. Launch Logic.
3. Disconnecting the FW cable that goes from the Firepod to the Mac. Turn on the Mac. Launch Logic. Turn on both Firepods, master first. Connect the FW cable that goes from the Firepod to the Mac.
4. Tried every conceivable configuration of Audio Midi Setup.
5. Tried several other FW and USB audio interfaces, obtaining perfect results.
6. Been working with Apple tech support (both hardware and Logic support).
7. I've checked that both Firepods have the same firmware version.
8. Installed a fresh SATA HD with clean installs of both OS10.6.5 and Logic Pro 9.1.3 with fresh custom templates and no 3rd party plugins or loops.
9. Lots of praying, swearing and fits of anger.
Final Comments
First, I think that the chassis FW connectors on the firepods are absolute garbage (read, cheap, cheap, cheap) and are inferior to anything else I have encountered during my troubleshooting process.
Last, I will go ballistic if I hear one more Presonus rep say anything to the effect of, "Huh! Never heard of anyone else experiencing the symptoms you're describing..." Yes, I have spoken adnauseum with Presonus tech support with zero results.
Any guidance will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Pancenter! I'll try to be brief. LOL
I had 4 perfect multi-track sessions and then the gremlin woke up and and cast his spell... Frustrating... The biggest difference I enjoyed using your suggestion was that when I launched Logic, loaded my template, enabled my tracks and hit record, the session started without a hitch. Prior to your suggestion, I would have to futz around with Logic audio prefs, AMS settings, turning the Firepods off/on, quitting/restarting Logic and/or shutting down/restarting my Mac Pro just to get the session to show my enabled tracks had activity. I would not know if the session would have the noise artifacts until playback. I should add that I never had this problem with my PPC G5 nor did I for the first 10 months of use with this Mac Pro. Also, with the help of Apple tech support we had eliminated Logic, 10.6.5 and the Mac Pro (except the FW800 bus) as probable causes. Again each Firepod and Logic work flawlessly when I use one unit not daisy-chained. So, I think there is no problem with the individual units, and, as I said, both units worked fine chained with my PPC Mac Pro.
So, I called Presonus. Again... And I get yet another tech who tells me something different; every time I speak with Presonus I get different suggestions. This guy asked what kind of cable I was using to connect the Firepods to the Mac Pro and I said I'm using a *firewire 9-pin to 6-pin cable*. So has asks well, is it *bilingual*? He said that would def fix my problem. I told him it is advertized as bilingual and that had not fixed the problem; he had no answer for that. Then, I broached the option of adding a firewire 400 card to my Mac Pro. He said I guess you could try that; get one with a TI chipset. That's where I'm at now, deciding which one to get and whether I will need to provide auxiliary power to the card's on-board molex plug.
Any ideas?
Oh, thanks for responding

Clicking noise from back left of MBP -- speaker maybe?

Hi all,
I have a clicking noise coming from the back left of my MBP and I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem, has any suggestions, or knows if it is potentially bad.
I saw the long thread about a 'pop' noise here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1234166&tstart=0
... but I'm not 100% sure mine is related.
I looked at some MBP take apart guides and see that the hard drive is in the front left, but my click seems to be coming from the back left (if I put my ear on the front left I can hear the hard drive spinning and all, but the click doesn't seem to come from it). I tried the hdapm suggestion in that thread just for kicks, but nothing happened, so overall I don't think it's the hard drive.
The only moving part in the back left as far as I can tell is the left fan, but I checked the fan speed with smcFanControl, and they were both at 2k (normal speeds). Plus, it doesn't sound like something I would expect a fan to make, but I could be wrong. The click happens in bursts usually, clicking about once every 5 seconds (it seems pretty consistent) for a while, but then has long periods without clicking. It doesn't seem to click more or less depending on computer usage. I would think that if it were a fan noise, it would click a lot more often (every 1/2000 seconds! ;>), and I don't see why it would come in and out in?
I'm wondering if it might be a periodic pop from the speaker. It happens when the volume is down & muted, though, so that seems somewhat odd. If it is the speaker, I don't think it has anything to do with interference, as it will make the noise when the computer is on battery power, with nothing plugged in, far from any electronics.
Overall, I'm pretty confused, so any advice would be great. At the moment, taking it into an Apple Store won't really work for me :/ I used to have a PowerBook & a G5, but I sold both of them when I bought my MBP, and this is my only computer. I have a NAS that I've backed up all my data to -- so I'm not really concerned about losing stuff if something dies -- but I need my MBP for work, so I can't live without it for a week or so if they need to hold onto it. Does anyone have any ideas about what might be happening?
Thanks!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
I didn't read all of that long thread, but I have heard of the type of noise you describe being associated with the hard drive. Whether it's benign or ominous or something else entirely is hard to say. But there are a couple of little utilities that can help you evaluate your hard drive:
S.M.A.R.T. Reporter:
http://www.corecode.at/smartreporter/
S.M.A.R.T. Utility:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/32454
The former will monitor the S.M.A.R.T. status of your hard drive and install a beautiful icon in your menu bar. The icon will be green if the S.M.A.R.T. status is verified and red if it is failing. It is designed to give you a heads up if it detects hard drive problems.
S.M.A.R.T. Utility is not supported on all hard drives, but if it is, it will allow you to see various factors which determine the S.M.A.R.T. status and if there are problems with any of them. This can also give you early warning of hard drive failure.
Also, there have been some problems with one model of Seagate drive, so check and see if you have a Seagate.
My Fujitsu drive is absolutely silent, and that is what you should expect. My external La Cie makes clicking noises every so often, and always has, so I think that is normal for it.
The main thing to worry about is the hard drive.
Do you have the widget iStatPro? It might be better for monitoring the fan speed without using smc fan control. But if the left fan is at 2000 RPM, then I would expect a very rapid click, which does not sound like it's the case here.
One last thing--does the click vary with the volume? Does it get louder if the volume is turned up high and quieter if the volume is turned down low? If the click has to do with the speaker, then I might expect the click to be louder or quieter depending on how the speaker volume is set.
It may be worth taking it to the Apple Store just to let someone listen to it and give an opinion. If you are under warranty, at least get a case number to document the problem. I understand that you can't be without your Mac for a week or so, but if a problem is diagnosed that does need to be fixed, then you can work on getting the work scheduled for a time that is convenient to you. It may even be possible to arrange for a loaner with all your stuff cloned onto it. Knowledge is power, and will give you better options than, say, having a sudden hard drive crash.
Good luck!

IPhone 6 clicking noise coming from home button and also a little loose..anyone else have this issue or suggestions on how to handle it? Any and all suggestions are appreciated

It seems as if when I push my home button there is a loud click or a clicking noise that shouldn't be there. If I push the home button in certain areas or kind of on the side it's not so bad. Also it seems as if the button is kind of loose or wiggles a little bit and can also feel the little silver ring and seems as if it's either not on properly or the home button is sunken in pretty good. I was at the Apple Store and checked out some display models and didn't notice it on those and they all felt solid. Has anyone else had this issue or experienced this? Any and all suggestions will help greatly...I just want to know if it's normal or how I should go about taking care of it...thanks!

ok...the doctor is in!....well, yes I agree with other posts concerning "clicky" crunchy touch id/home buttons...ah... we do swaps, cleanings, alcohol wipes....NO NO NO! yes dirt can and will trap inside the extreme minor spaces around the home button and the screen cutout..yes twirling a q-tip round the button only stuffs grime deeper in, but can clean the edge...in this case, that crunch you hear (new out-of-box), its a very popular notice that most do hear a crunchy glass-like snapping sound...being that the touch id does have a sensor ring on the outer side, the actual noise your hearing is ........wait for it......MISS-ALLIGNMENT!!!! yes... pop that sucker open, remove bracket....what do you see??. touch id pressed thru and adheared around the ends of the button...and also most cases, not perfectly aligned..that noise is the actual ring brushing against the screen hole cutout causing metal and glass to bind against eachother... re-seating the button will correct the issue..being that theyre so close together, the slightest miss-alignment can cause that annoying crunchy click sound. find a swap that doesn't...ok that one works but now the silent switch is loose!!!!! ive seen it all

Macpro 1.1 clicking noise while scrolling?

Hi there I have used mac pro 1.1 and while I am on the internet I hear a clicking noise when scrolling with my mouse wheel, I also here it when safri loads a page and upon start up.It also happepens when I close a program or app. Any help on this would be great.

In that case it could either be the fan, or your hard drive dieing. Mechanical failures in spinning disks will also sound like clicks and pops. Does this happen constistently? Or only now and again?
Either way it sounds like a backup is in order and a visit to an Apple store. They'll either replace the drive or the fan if either are the culprit.
You could also (at your own risk) download SMCFanControl and adjust the front fan's speed up and down to see if that makes the click go away or increase.
Thanks;

Trackpad clicking noise

This might be a little hard to explain so please bare with me. My trackpad is working fine but it's making a strange noise that happens on the mouse button. It makes a slight clicking noise before actually clicking the button. It almost feels like it's hanging or catching on something so very slightly. The clicking noise is mainly an annoyance problem but I would just like to know if there's any way to make it go away. Thanks.

Hi jthompson,
Welcome to the forum.
I would pop down to the local Apple Store or any independent Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) and let one of their technicians/Geniuses look at it. It very much sounds like the top cover needs to be removed and a minor adjustment made around the trackpad area. If it's still under warranty or you have AppleCare there should be no charge for this.

Audio pops/clicks when changing angles in multicam clips

I am having problems with audio pops/clicks when working with angle switching in multicam clips. it always occurs when i utilize any of the "audio enhancements" features, such as the loudness or background noise removal features. Switching angles results in audible audio pops. The only way to get rid of them is to disable the audio enhancements. This occurs regardless of the audio source. Is this a known bug that is being addressed? I rely heavily on the audio editing features in my work and am hoping this will be resolved in an update soon. Thanks for any help-

Hi Brad, thanks for the reply!
That sounds like a good workaround. What I have been doing in the meantime is create a new compound clip after I finish all of my cuts, and then apply the audio edits to the new contiguous audio clip in the compound clip.
What is really strange and frustrating is that all of my new audio bugginess really began when I could no longer detach audio from my multicam clips in 10.0.9... After doing many searches here, it seems that in this most recent update of FCPX this is no longer a 'feature'... I don't know why they changed this, but in older updates of FCPX you could detach audio from original clips, compound clips, or multicam clips with no problems. I would routinely create and edit all of the angle cuts in my multicam clips in the timeline, and then if I wanted to, be able to detach the audio and do more edits if needed. Thankfully I can still apply edits to compound audio clips, but it would sure be nice if I could just correct/enhance audio without ugly-sounding artifacts in multicam edits. Thanks again-

Clicking noise regularly

My macbook pro 13'' is making a clicking noise even when it is absolutely still(stationery) and hardly a few apps running, just wondering if other mac users suffer the same problem..I did my research on this issue and found out that others have the same problem except when it is being moved or not STILL,,
I wanna know if its actually a problem for which there is a solution from APPLE or its just a part n parcel of macbook..
Also, the CAPS LOCK key is not tht sensitive as expected, it this the problem with u guys too ??

What exactly is the noise? Is a "click," "pop," or a "snap"? Does it get louder when your turn up your volume, or disappear entirely when you turn it down? How often does it occur?
Allan Eckert's advice of visiting your local Apple Store is good. If you go, you'd do better if you could somehow duplicate the sound in their presence, or record the sound if you can.
Post with your results, please.

Popping / clicking sound when using headphones

I just got a new iMac and I've noticed when using headphones I get this popping or clicking noise at cerain times. If the computer doesn't produce sound for a while, it's like the audio driver "shuts down" and the headphones go very quiet, then when the computer has to make a sound, it makes a "pop" noise before it loads the new sound (regardless of the file or program used). Then I'll leave it for a minute or so, and it "pops" and the headphones go very silent (there was a slight static noise before). I don't get this happening when running the headphones through a USB audio card. Is this normal behaviour for Mac OS?

Looks like this is a software issue (in part at least). By installing this simple script:
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/29024/antipop
you can keep it from happening (more than once). The script keeps the audio system from shutting down, so you only get a pop on startup and that's it. I still don't know if this popping is normal behaviour or points to some faulty hardware.

Mouse pad clicking noise

I have only had this computer for about a month now, and now my mouse button is making a very annoying click sound before the button is actually pressed all the way. It is on the left side of the click button, and somewhat all the way to the right, and when you barely press it, it clicks...like a high pitch click. It seems like that part of the mouse button is loose maybe? Has anyone else experienced this? And what do you think I should do?

I just started having this problem, and I solved it just by playing around with the button. My clicking noise / click resistance was mostly on the left side, and I just started leveraging up the right side of it and jiggling it around. I didn't pop the button out, because I don't know if that's possible or not, I just moved it around, jiggled it, and let it go free again. Afterwards, my button went right back to normal after weeks of this problem.
