I understand you are getting a crackling and popping sound from your notebook.
Have you done all your Windows updates?
Have you ran the HP Support Assistant to aid with HP updates?
Have you checked for viruses or malware?
Have you tried using MS Fix It ?
Here is a link to HP Notebook PCs - Sound from Notebook Speakers is Distorted, Pops, or Hisses (Windows 7 and Vista) that should also help.
Good Luck !

Crackling and hissing noises in background of podcast audio

I've just recorded the audio for a podcast (two-person interview), and as I've listened back I've found an annoying crackling noise in the background at a few points. Any ideas about how to remove (or at least minimise) it? Also, at some points there is a kind of hissing noise in the background (almost like the distant sound of crickets!) - any tips on minimising or removing that?

Thanks for the reminder Richard and yes, I had done that via the "common" folder and cleaned out all the cache in the various folders. The result was negative, still had the issue.
So, I decided to move all audio (about 16 mins) on track 1 down to track 2, leaving track 1 completely empty of audio. Then I muted track 1.
The issue was happening at around 4:20secs into the audio. Interestingly, when testing Pr crashed when the playhead reached 4:20secs, right at the spot that I was getting the old "deleted" audio in the background with a lot of crackle. I restarted my Mac completely and repeated the process of moving all audio to track 2 etc etc... and once again Pr crashed at 4:20secs.
What to do?
I copied the piece of audio giving me issues from track 2 and pasted it into track 1. I first pasted it away from the problem area (4:20secs) and there was no "old deleted audio in the background with a lot of crackle" to be heard. :-) So I moved this piece of audio and placed it right above the 4:20secs problem area and reduced the audio volume to -infinity. I also muted track 1 again.
Then I played the entire video... and, Pr didn't crash and the "old deleted audio in the background with a lot of crackle" was gone. Gone kinda, because this is a work around and the issue is still there but suppressed for now. I have no idea why it happened and a more technical solution is totally welcome.
What do you think about the above Richard? Hope it made sense? Felt like it took 25 years to sort this out...

George,
Try uninstalling all your Norton applications and follow by cleansweep your sound card software/driver. The steps to cleansweep your sound card can be found with this Knowledgebase article SID72. After you have done both, install the sound card driver/application first using the installation CD. Ensure that the sound card is function fine. After which, install your Norton software.

Fizzy and hissing sound when using earphone...

I have a Macbook Pro 13 inches 2009. I use my earphone to listen music. However, when I don't play music, I can hear a fizzy and hissing sound from my earphone. I tried to use another one but there is still fizzy and hissing sound when no music is playing. I can hear that even clearer when my room is silent. I feel really annoyed about that sound.
If anyone knows how to fix it, please let me know. Any helps are appreciating...
Thanks.
Vu Dinh
P/S: I'm not sure if it's a software issue or hardware issue.

The problem is when I dont play music, there is still fizzy and hissing sound on my earphone. Only when I play music, the music is louder than that sound so I just hear music in that time. However, when I dont play music, there is always fizzy sound on my earphone. I already said it always happens when I put my earphone jack on Macbook Pro.
I want to know if there are any ways to fix that... It's really annoying. It's not silent at all even there is no music. Always a fizzy sound on my earphone.

New Problems with IPod nano - crackle and clicking

Hi,
I got the IPod nano (2GB) a view weeks ago. I haven't changed anything - only copied mp3 songs and photos on it.
Today suddenly during jogging the nano starts to crackle and click - like an old analog tape. This didn't stop any more even after a lot of resets. I have connected my IPod with USB-2 onto my computer and recharged the accu completely. After disconnecting properly the problem is still the same. Also the buttons and the wheel don't work correctly anymore. Has anybody similar experiences? It seems apple has big trouble and problems with this new product. Maybe the IPod nano isn't fully well-engineered jet.
I am looking forward for your help and suggestions.
Thanks in advance!
Your Stephan

Hi Mike,
and what did you do finally?
Did you bring the Ipod back to
your dealer for an exchange?
My IPod didn't get wet during
jogging I have carefully kept an
eye on it.
Is this a general problem with the IPod
or only with some units?
Thanks
Stephan

Slow performance, Audio Crackling and Stutters

I bought my Qosmio X775 7384 just 2 months ago and from the second I took it out of the box it seemed to underperformed, by which I mean it was about 1/2 as fast as my duel core 6gb RAM gateway desktop. I tried to ignore the issue and continued on with my work on my new laptop, using it mainly for music production. Every once in awhile I would get crackling and stutters, this I also tried to ignore but recently when I was in the middle of a performance it completely stuttered out and crashed the computer altogether, which was very embarrassing.
Since then the crackling and popping seems to happen during every song, either in my software, tunes, youth.... pretty much anything with sound has crackling and popping. My music software freezes and crashes and I am still extremely underwhelmed by its performance.
So far I have called and talked to support 3 times, the last time begging for a refund. They want to take my computer for repairs, IM not quite ready to give it up yet as I need it for performing. So here is what I have done.
I reinstalled every windows driver in my devices, I reinstalled every driver from this website and I have done a out of box restore. Nothing has helped.
I ran latencymon and its telling me that my isc and dpc routines are lasting too long for ndis.sys hdaudbus.sys iastor.sys and i8042prt.sys and its telling me that at least one of my problems seems to be network related and that it looks like it could be battery related as well.
Right now I have stripped all unnecessary programs and upgraded my wifi to the euro version of atheros. I believe I have done everything possible to speed up and make my computer stop popping and stuttering and it continues to do so as well as spike in the red of my latency testers.
Please help!

It sounds like you've done everything you can, especially considering that you did an out-of-box recovery. I'd agree that it's time to send it for servicing (or live with it, I suppose).

Static, Crackles, and Pop Sounds

I have a Sound Blaster PCI Express X-Fi Xtreme Audio sound card?(.04.0000 Drivers) and it makes crackles and pop sounds when:
- I'm watching a video online in fullscreen (for example: Youtube, Gamespot, IGN)
- When I'm watching any video in fullscreen on Windows Media Player
- When playing a certain DVD or CD rom (for example, a movie or a music cd) the sound will go all static
- The sound will also crackle and pop in other programs when a movie or music DVD/CD is in my dri've, but not in use
- Certain games are unplayable because of all the static sound (for example: Starcraft)
- When I play?Street Fighter IV and Battlefield Heroes, I don't experience crackling or popping, but rather?poor sound quality (it's like sound coming from very bad?speakers with no bass).
My specs are:
Windows XP Professional SP3
Intel Core i7 @ 2.67Ghz
3 GB DDR3 Ram
HIS Radeon HD 4870 52 MB
Asus P6T Delxue Motherboard
I have disabled EAX Effects, X-Fi CMSS-3D, and X-Fi Crystalizer in the Creative Console. The sound card is currently in my PCIe x6 slot. I have tried putting it in my PCIe x4 Slot, but I get the same problems. Also, when I plug in my mic, it does not work! Why is that? and how can I get rid of these crackles, pops, and static noises?

Turns out I'm not very familiar with the Xtreme Audio cards which I'm pretty sure don't have an X-Fi chip, just some X-Fi algorithms in software. I'm not sure how much help I can provide. Have you tried CL Support?
What are you using for speakers?
If you get complete static, that could be attempting to send an encoded track like Dolby Digital, DTS, DTS CD Audio, to analog speakers. That would be a matter of making sure the player software settings are correct.

Audio Clicks, Crackles and Pops

I'm new to final cut express (but not to video editing). Everytime I export a project (no matter if it's mpeg, quicktime etc...) the audio has random crackles and pops. It's not in the source footage, and doesn't show up in audio programs. The only thing I find that is consistent is that it happens when using MP3s. Does anyone know how to eliminate this??? The source audio files are clean but upon export a lot of annoying snaps crackle and pops! Thanks for the help.

FCE is happiest with AIFF audio at either 32kHz or 48kHz, depending on your sequence settings. You'll have the least trouble if you convert audio files before bringing them into your project. Also, you should do an audio mixdown before export: Sequence>Render Only>Mixdown.

IPad 3 speakers crackling and then cuts out completely

Please can you help? My ipad 3 loud speaker has started crackling and then completely cutting out. I have tried rebooting,installing updates and cleaning the connector/ docking point but none of these have worked.
Can you help?
Thanks.

I had the same issue when using the M-Audio unit.
My solution was to set "Sound Scheme" to "none"
For some reason when recording, when there is a system
generated sound (like a click from a web page being loaded) it
messes up the audio.
It worked for me, I hope it works for you.

ITunes playing music - pops, cracks, and hisses

I've been playing my iTunes library for years now, but have noticed something THIS MORNING.
I try to play any song I've had since forever and I hear audible anomalies like pops, cracks, and hisses.
I try playing the same mp3 in Windows Media Player and it sounds fine.
What's the deal? Is iTunes divorcing me?
help!!!

OK, so now we know it is a Quicktime problem not iTunes, I wonder if it has got broken in a subtle way.
It might be worth trying a removal and reinstall of Quicktime.
Download the stand alone version of Quicktime (without iTunes) from here:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
Now remove Quicktime using the method here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93698
ONLY do the Quicktime part.
Next install the stand alone Quicktime.

Found a Solution to crackling and popping on XFI Sound ca

I have tried many solution attempts found on this forum and nothing seemed to work. I have updated all of the drivers. I have reinstalled several times along with reboots and after all this I just decided to try on last thing and here it is and it worked for me.
Well after testing this I have found that setting the sample format rate and bit depth to be use in shared mode to 24 bit, 96000Hz (Studio Quality) That the crackling and popping has gone away. I have tested this in a game called Jericho that did it all the time and the game runs smooth and the audio is crisp and clear. I also had problem playing any audio and moving the mouse over icons and the sound would have serious crackling. This has also gone away. The sound in general is a lot better then before. It is crisp and clear. I highly suggest that you check the settings. Go to Control Panel then Sound . Right click on speakers and select Properties . Click on Advanced and in the Default Format change this to 24 bit, 96000 Hz (Studio Quality). This should get rid of all of the crackling and popping. This has worked for me. I have hooked up my speakers direct not by fiber optic. I am guessing that if one used fiber optic then you might be able to use 24 bit, 92000 Hz (Studio Quality) . But I would definitely try adjusting the settings here to try and fix the problem. I have gone back and forth on these settings and it is only clear on 24 bit, 96000 Hz (Studio Quality) . Thanks to you all on this forum for you help in this matter I know this is only my third post but I have been reading this forum for solutions for a week now and have found a solution that worked for me that I have not read yet. I hope this helps everyone or at least some. Godspeed.

Here are more of my findings after some more testing. I know that I have found the XFI card to work on my vista machine at 24 bit 96000 Hz, but here is something that tells me there is definitely something wrong with these new drivers for XFI cards. Today I wanted to try going back to the HD audio card that came with my Asus Crosshair motherboard. It has an HD Supreme FX PCI Express card. I am assuming this is equivalent to the Creative Audigy 2 ZS card that I also have. I would assume that the XFI card is a step above the HD Supreme FX card that comes with the motherboard. So here are my findings. After installing the card and the Vista drivers for the HD Supreme FX card I ran into zero problems. I switched the settings to 24 Bit 92000 Hz, this is the setting I wanted to use for the XFI card and it would crackle and pop. The funny thing is the Audigy 2 ZS card that I have had absolutely no problem in running 24 Bit 92000 Hz in Windows XP. So you can not tell me that the XFI Card is incapable of running 24 Bit 92000 Hz. There is no way that you would downgrade the better card of the two. I also know from other users that the XFI card has no problem running 24 Bit 92000 Hz in Windows XP. This is a Vista issue that is narrowed down to the drivers. Therefore the drivers need to be reprogrammed. How is it that, Asus can have a card designed or design an audio card along with drivers that work flawlessly in Vista and am audio component manufacturer like Creative just can not seem to get it right Any answers Creative I still had problems with the audio in the Game Jericho with the XFI card but no problems occurred with the HD Supreme FX card that came with the Crosshair board. So I know it is not a problem with the game. The problem lies in the drivers with the XFI card. The problem that I was having incase you all are curious is. In the game you get to a point where you are able to switch between characters. The crackle would occur when jumping into the character Delgado. The audio would crackle and pop. So I would jump out and into another character and the sound would still crackle and pop until you took the first step and then it would go away. It did not matter which character you would jump into from Delgado. The only sound issues where with Delgado. I thought it was in the game after I assumed I had found a fix. But I was wrong because I had absolutely no issues on any character or at any point in the game with the Supreme FX card. I only had these issues with the XFI Card. The funny thing is the game recommends the XFI card.

Crackling and playback errors with cycle mode enabled

Hi Folks,
just noticed that sometimes when i use cycle mode, there's a crackling sound when i hit playback. The audio file itself is 100% clean and undistorted, as is the normal playback. Only if i enable cycle mode, the crackling, popping, even bigger playback errors as echos are there. However, it's only at the start of the cycle or when the cycle repeats (jumps back to it's start).
I fiddled around with buffer settings and the Cycle Algorithms in the preferences, but to no avail.
Anyone out there has a tip how to solve this?
Fox

Hi Erik,
Also try and answer some questions I probably haven't asked.
I did this and it helped WOW! Thanks!
However, here's the solution for future desperate questions regarding this bug: It was a corrupted region (anchor or something like that). The file itself was okay, but the region in the arrange was somehow corrupted. I solved the problem by deleting the region and re-dragging it into the arrange from the bin.
Cheers, Fox

Crackling and pulsating noise in external USB speakers

How to eliminate crackling and pulsating noise in external USB speakers?

i need to access the Roland's knobs while sitting at the Mac (am using them as monitors in recording etc), so there really isn't a good place to get them further away. By interface, do you mean the PreMobile? that's an interesting idea. I've now tried that (via the line out, the rolands have a single 3.5mm cable, no RCAs); it got rid of the static noise, but the still a loud hum, and the PreMobile apparently doesn't monitor ordinary system sound output (like iTunes). But this experiment does point to the iMac itself being the source of the static noise.
The only AC-powered periphs in the loop are a couple hard drives and a printer (and a USB-powered Wacom tablet; the PreMobile is USB-powered as well).
I've got the speakers plugged into same grounded strip as the mac and the peripherals, trying to minimize ground loop, but it doesn't help.
Someone suggested a ground loop isolator gadget... anyone had success with those?
