DDTS-100 loud headphone hiss, but not from speaker out?

It would seem I've lucked out big time with the 550 & ddts-100 purcahse. I'm looking into what the supplier can do for me regards the 550 as Creative are as useless as ever.
However, last nite I noticed that both headphone jacks on the DDTS-100 decoder produce a very noticeable amount of hiss, but the speaker outputs on the back do NOT. The hiss is there will everything unplugged from the unit.
This is the exact situation as I have with the 550 in reverse - there is was perfect with headphone, but hiss on the speakers. With the decoder it's the speakers that are fine (if using something other than my 550's lol but headphones are hissy as.
What gives? Why is this, and more to the point, should it be like that? Can anyone else with a ddts-100 report in? My headphones are not cheap crap either, they're probably about US$250, and Senheisers.

Nah, there is no volume control on the headphones, and even speakers attached directly to the headphone jack get hiss. It's weird, the headphone jack outputs at a much lower line level (I need to set the DDTS-100 line level much higher) but yet there is more hiss. It must be coming from a seperate circuit than the speaker outs.
I'd really like to hear back from other people with DDTS-100s as to how their ones work - hiss or no hiss.
Thanks,
Josh

    Hi there @donimuha 
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! It is a great place to find the help you need, both from other users, HP experts and other support personnel.
    I understand that you are getting sound from the headphones/earplugs but not from the system speakers. I am happy to assist you with this.
    As the sound is working through the audio jack, I will assume for now that the audio driver is fine. Please check through the following page, which is very comprehensive. If you are still having a problem it is possibly a hardware issue with the speakers.
    No Sound from the Speakers (Windows 7)
    Let me know if that works for you.

  • HP officejet Pro 8100 will print from an Iphone but not from my windows laptop

    HP officejet Pro 8100 will print from an Iphone but not from my windows laptop. I get an error stating "unable to communicate with printer"

    Hi Melatina66,
    Welcome to the HP Support forums.  I understand that when trying to print from your laptop that you get a communication error message.
    To better assist you, would you please provide some further information:
    1)       How is the printer connected (USB cable, ethernet or wireless)?
    2)      When you installed the printer on your laptop did you set it up with a USB cable?  If  yes, did you switch the connection type on the laptop from USB cable to ethernet/wireless?
    3)      What version of Windows operating system are you running on the laptop (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8, etc)?
    4)      When printing from your iPhone are you using Apple's AirPrint or HP's ePrint app?
    Thank you.

  • Delete contacts from icloud, but not from iphone

    I want to delete all my contacts and calendar appointments from iCloud, but not from my iphone, and i still want to have iCloud turned on in the future.
    I have tried to delete the iCloud account from my iphone but when i log in to iCloud.com from a computer the contacts are still there even though i deleted the iCloud account.
    How do i remove these things only from iCloud?

    I fixed it, i had to turn off the syncing of the contacts and the calendar on the phone and then delete them from iCloud. Obviously if i turn on the syncing of these items again the contacts and calendar appointments will reappear in iCloud.
    So problem solved.

  • I need to delete files from my iMac hard drive, but not from my other devices (that are sync. to iCloud). How do I do this?? My Mac is a 24-inch Mid 2007 running on Mountain Lion. Thanks for your help.

    I have recently recieved messages indicating that my start up disc is almost full. Consequently I need to remove some files from my hard drive. I've backed up my hard drive onto a NAS system & onto an external harddrive. The problem now, is that whenever I try to delete a file, a message comes up saying that if I remove this file from my hard disc it will remove it from all my other devices that are syn. to it. How do I remove a file (movies) from my iMac but not from other devices.
    Thanks for your help
    Robert

    You're right - this question has nothing to do with iSync!
    You're best bet would be to buy yourself an external Firewire or USB 2.0 hard-disk. There's no way you'll get 150gb onto an 80gb drive - certainly not in an instantly accessible way.
    Your new Mac would've had the Migration Assistant appear during the initial OS install. This allows you to connect your new and old Mac together via a Firewire cable and automatically transfer your important files from old Mac to new.
    Once you've all the files off your old Mac, re-format it and re-install the OS that came with it. If you boot up the Mac from the OS install DVD, there is an option to re-format the HD and install the OS.

  • Want to delete mails from Thunderbird but not from the server?

    Hi,
    Please tell me how to configure the settings of Thunderbird so that if i delete any mail from Thunderbird that mail would be delete only from Thunderbird not from server. I'm using IMAP configuration for all my mail accounts and I'm using Thunderbird in my laptop and tablet both.
    Currently i'm using Thunderbird 24.4.0 and i just want to delete my useless mails from Thunderbird but not from the server without using pop-3 settings.
    Actually the reason for this Question arises because whenever i use to uninstall and reinstatement Thunderbird, i use to take "profiles" as a back up and its size is increasing day by day that is making a big issue to me as i cant take a back up of such a big size file.

    Imap mail accounts keep the emails on the server and you see a remote view of those emails and folders.
    When you subscribe to see a folder, the headers are downloaded, when you select an email to read, the entire folder is downloaded to a temp cache facilitating quicker access. If you synchronize folders, then a copy of that folder is downloaded to an mbox file in your profile, so that you have a copy of the server folder. When you make any changes to a synchronized folder, read an email, delete or move etc, then Thunderbird will resynchronize with the server to update the server. A synchronized folder allows you to work in 'offline' mode and this is the best time to perform a backup as you know there is a temporary stop on synchronizing as you are offline. They will resynchronize when you go back into 'online' mode.
    So, with IMAP mail accounts, the folders you see in Thunderbird are the same folders on the webmail server. If you make any changes via Thunderbird or webmail then you are changing the same folder. You cannot delete an email without deleting it from the server, they are one and the same.
    What you can do is move/copy an email into Local Folders and delete the one on the server. The Local Folders emails are kept in your Profile on your computer, these folders/emails are not on the server, unless you chose to keep a copy of them on the server.
    Pop mail accounts cannot see the folders on the server. They only access the server Inbox folder and download emails not previously downloaded to the mail account Inbox in Thunderbird. These emails are kept on your computer in your profile folder. You can select to keep a copy on the server or not. You can choose to delete emails off your computer and off the server or not.
    If the mail account is gmail , have you subscribed or even synchronized to see the 'All Mail' folder ? Gmail's all Mail folder is their Archive folder, it keeps a copy of all of your non-deleted emails. So, you do not need to subscribe to see this folder as it only shows you what you can already see in other folders. It doubles the disc space.
    Please read section on 'All Mail' at this link.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_Gmail_with_Thunderbird_and_Mozilla_Suite
    You do not have to download/synchronize the entire folder. You could select to only synchronize the most recent xx days of emails.

  • HT1476 My iPhone 4S will charge on a laptop but not from a wall plug. I have tried different boxes and different USB cords from the wall but none work. These boxes and USB cords work for other family members with iPhones. I'm stumped :/

    My iPhone 4S will charge on a laptop but not from a wall plug. I have tried different boxes and different USB cords from the wall but none work. These boxes and USB cords work for other family members with iPhones and a USB cord that works from the laptop won't work from 3 or 4 different wall boxes that work for others. I'm stumped :/

    Update: It seems as though the phone will charge if I plug it in and then turn it off.  It will not charge while the phone is on.  Also iTunes will not recognize it, so I can't sync or anything.  I read somewhere that it could be a fuse somewhere?? Or maybe the dock connector. Where is the best place to get this repaired?

  • How can I set Firefox 8.0 to accept 3rd party cookies ONLY from selected sites but NOT from any other sites?

    I do not like to accumulate 3rd party cookies and would simply not check the Accept 3rd Party Cookies box in Preferences. BUT in order to use my bank's web page I have to accept 3rd party cookies from a separate site that manages some of their transactions (like paying bills). This means I have to accept 3rd party cookies and then delete them by hand OR I have to check the accept box each time I use the bank's website and then uncheck it when I am done.

    Thanks, but that is not what I was trying to do. I do not want to block cookies from a single site. I do not want to block all 3rd party cookies.
    What I want to do is ACCEPT 3rd party cookies only from ONE site but NOT from any other site.
