Distort noise coming from internal speaker

Hi
I just purchased my first iMac about 3 months ago and just today while listening to iTune the speaker made a stranger cracking sound and now all audio on the mac sounds like distortion. Does this sound like a broken sound card?
I restarted the mac and even the loading sound is the same "distortion noise"
thanks
Ray

This beeping plagued me for months and months, driving me insane. I tried to find a solution on the Internet; however, all I found were many people complaining about this random beeping noise from their HP laptops. A couple of times the beeping stopped for a few days, but then it would come back. But almost three months ago it stopped for good (I hope)! I didn't do anything--it just stopped. WEIRD. But you might find this link helpful. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svvZ70_H2wM&feature=email&email=comment_reply_received

I have a macbook pro 15 retina - when ever I connect to bluetooth speaker, I get this loud noise coming from the speaker - if I turn bluetooth off, the noise is now coming from the macbook speakers & stays until i restart.

Hi John. Thanks for that input. At Step 6, after clicking "Next" I get a window telling me my OS version is unsupported and the installation may not complete. I am prompted to go to Canon's web site to "Check Latest Info".
I've had this window on previous attempts and from Canon's web site I downloaded two drivers as follows
- ICA Driver V4.0.0
- Canon IJ Network Tool V4.5.0
I'm not sure if these are the correct / complete drivers I need for this install or not.
I continue to follow all the steps. At step 9 I click "Wireless Set Up using USB" amd get a License Agreement (a little different than instructions)
I click "Agree" and it goes to a Setup window with two progress bars showing the installation. I've not been prompted to connect the USB?
After the Setup window is done, I am then prompted to connect the printer via USB. I connect the printer and click on "Redetect". It is not detected.
I then try following the Canon on screen instructions for connecting to the wireless LAN amd enter the password. It searches and indicates "Connecting" on the window, but it never connects and the blue light just blinks
So, at this point I am stuck??
Thanks
Stephen

Beeping noise coming from internal sound board

Sound coming from internal speaker

Hi all,
I have solaris 10 installed on my ultra 60 but when I play music or enable sounds in gnome all sounds are coming from the internal speaker, not from the speakers I connected.
How can I enable the 'good' speakers instead of the hardware speakers?

Is there a way to save the sdtaudiocontrol settings so that they come up that way every time?
I get tired of turning off the internal speaker and turning on the external output after I logout or reboot.
I've been using Solaris 9 and Gnome 2.0 and will shortly finish upgrading the workstation to Solaris 10 SJD. I have no reason to expect that the new S10 with SJD will behave differently than the older version.

Some Kind of huge Noise coming from the Disc Drive while inserting and ejecting the disc.

Some Kind of huge Noise coming from the Disc Drive while inserting and ejecting the disc.
i have just purchased it before a couple of days a go.

I just installed a Mac Pro for a client. After a while I noticed this buzzing everyones talking about. It was especially bad after I installed two more internal drives. It seemed to come and go with HD activity. I pulled up the lever on the back of the machine when it was particularly loud and the buzzing went away. So like some others have noticed it's associated with the HD bays. I took the side off and adjusted the seating of the drives so they were exactly centered Now the buzzing is gone. I'll keep an eye on it. Maybe it will need some kind of silicone bumpers where the bay trays are metal to metal.
More research to come.

I put a case on my iPod touch 5 and now there is no sound coming from the speaker. The head phones work though. I called Apple Support and the 2 people I spoke with seemed baffled. Has this happened to anyone and how do I resolve this?

I put a Griffin case on my daughter's iPod Touch 5 and now there is no sound coming from the speaker. There is sound when we use the headphones. Is there a mute function that I may have switched on and if so how do I turn it off?
It was a gift bought by her Godparents in January and I live in the islands so I can't just drive it back to the store to have them look @ it!
Called Apple Support and spoke to 2 people who seemed baffled and who could only suggest I reset the device. Who h has not helped.
HELP!!!!!!!

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.
iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
Replace the jack yourself

My macbook pro is probably only 2 months old and there is a buzzing/grinding noise coming from the left side of the laptop every time I open it. It may buzz 5 times in a span of 30 seconds then not make the noise the remaining time that it is open.

My macbook pro is probably only 2 months old and there is a buzzing/grinding noise coming from the left side of the laptop every time I open it. It may buzz 5 times in a span of 30 seconds then not make the noise the remaining time that it is open. I have read that it may have to do with my fan or HD. I am under apple care for a good amount of time but am wondering if this is a mjor issue. I would not be able to get to an apple care center in the near future due to being at school. Should I be worried or will it last by the time I am home in 2 months.

Sounds like the disk in your MBP is accessing data on wake up
If you are still concerned you can take it into the Apple Store where they can hear it to be sure

Audio out from internal speaker, how?

I purchased iPhone 3G 8GB, before that I have been using iPod touch. With iPod touch audio from games etc came out from internal speaker if I did not plug earphones. But for some reason that does not work with iPhone 3G.
Only very few apps uses internal speaker with iPhone 3G, like iPod app. But rest of apps does not play audio before I plug earphones. Is there away to fix this or is there something wrong with my new iPhone 3G? I purchased two days a go.

all sound should come out of speaker if headset isn't plugged in. check in sound settings that "silent" vibrate isn't on.
also some apps have there own volume settings so even if you turn the apps sound down the phones other sound stays the same, such as the ringer..

Scratchy noise coming from top end of keyboard. Not effecting performance but very noisy and worrying! What is it? Is my computer seriously damaged? Is it easily fixed? Thanks for any help

It would be helpful if you were to identify the model of MBP you have.
The noise makers on a MBP are the fan(s), the HDD and the optical drive. Can you locate the exact position where the noise is coming from?
Ciao.

Qosmio X500 - How to enable recording from internal speaker?

How do you enable recording from internal speaker on Qosmio X500?
Is this possible because from Control Panel / Sound / Recording only microphone can be seen.
Any help appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi
Do you want to record the sound that will be played through the internal speakers?
Therefore you can use the Windows Sound Recorder or other tools like Audacity. Latter is a very nice freeware tool. :)

I have a strange noise coming from within my 2011 iMac Desktop.

I have a strange noise coming from within my 2011 iMac Desktop. This started 1 week ago and is intermittent. It sounds like an electronic drill. I have removed all external connections and powered up the Mac and just left it running. Some 2 hours later the noise started. On hitting the space bar on the keyboard the noise stopped. I did a similar test and the noise started within 2 minutes so I have discounted any overheating issues.
With keyboard activity there is an increase in the frequency of this fault.
If you open safari when the fault reappears the URL web link text starts flashing at the same frequency as the noise. This fault can appear with or without the noise.
I’ve been typing these details out on Word and as soon as I went to save the document the noise started and as soon as I hit the OK option in the save window the noise ceased.
Any thoughts will be appreciated.

I think this issue might be related to my wireless Keyboard. have just noticed that certain combinations of keys do not work. The Right hand shift + ? didn't work but started this noise. Hit another key and the noise stopped Also I have problems using the right hand shift key with the letters Y, H & N , they don't work and are all in line.
So I'm taking the keyboard back to John Lewis. it will be easier to carry that the screen !!

When I turned on my computer this morning it had a new noise coming from the top of the screen at the back. Not loud but almost whirring. What might this be ?

Processor 3.2 GHz Intel Core i3

I just found an answer !
I had moved my computer into another room and had to turn up the brightness, as I have always had it on the lowest setting. In doing so it created the noise, I turned it right down and it stopped. I have now set it about level 3 so it's not so distracting.
thanks

Screeching noise coming from headphones!!!

Ok, so there's a horrible screeching noise coming from my headphones! When the volume is low, no sound comes out at all. But when I turn it up, it's this high pitched screeching with faint music in the back ground. I've tried changing the EQ, changing the maximum volume level in settings, and turning off then back on. I also just updated the software today. Help!! Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks:)

Does this happen when using another set of headphones? Have you tried a hard reset?
How to reset iPod
If nothing else, do a full restore in iTunes. This process wipes all content from the device, resets all settings back to their defaults, and loads a fresh copy of the iPod's software onto the device. So if the issue is software related, a restore should clear it up.

Noise coming from the bottom of my mac?

There's a noise coming from the base of my early 2013 Mac Book Pro Retina. When I'm resting it on my lap or pick it up it sounds like a spring sound and occasionally I can here it when I'm typing and push down a little hard on the t, y and u keys. Do you think it would be possible to take this in to an Apple store and get it replaced or changed? Not effecting performance but expect better for paying upwards of £2000. Still within the 1 year warranty. Thanks.

Aside from the fan, there should be no noises emanating from a retina MBP. Your MBP comes with a warranty. By all means take advantage of it and make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar.
Ciao.
