Dv9000 speakers making loud static/crackling sound!

My dv9000 laptop speakers started making a weird sound, like a combination of static and crackling.  It almost sounds like the sound effect they use in the movies when they show a crackling live electrical wire.  The sound is loud enough that I have to mute the speakers to even use the computer because it is so annoying.  If I raise or lower the volume the sound changes accordingly.  The sound is there when I hook up external speakers also.
Any ideas????

tried headphones, and the sound just gets transferred to the headphones.  So I cannott use audio at all.  I checked Conexant High Definition Audio under the Sound Video and Game Controllers section of Device manager, and it says the device is working properly

  • Audio for HP 15 Notebook is making this static kinda sound

    I recently bought a HP notebook 15 a few days ago, but just today, i started having this problem when watching youtube videos. It made this static kinda sound and it was really annoying. Wonder if there is a fix for this. Please help.

    Hi @iamusingthisfor ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I would like to take a moment and thank you for using the forum, it is a great place to find answers. For you to have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    Please remember to post your exact model of HP notebook and your Operating system when posting in the forum.  This will allow us to better assist you.
    How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
    As this is a new newbook, I am assuming you are running Windows 8 or 8.1
    I see that when you watch videos on YouTube you hear static and it is very annoying.
    Do  you have audio issues anywhere else?
    If you play a DVD do you hear static?
    Have you done all your Windows updates?
    Have you ran  The HP Support Assistant to aid with updates and resolving issues?
    Have you tried  Using Automated Troubleshooting (Windows 8)?
    Is your flash player up to date?
    You may also try changing the sample rate on your audio, as Windows 8 does have settings that are sometimes to high for notebooks.
    Go to the Control Panel
    Open Sound
    Click on your speakers and click properties
    Click advance
    You should see an option to choose the sample rate. You can try different ones until you have located the one that is best for you.
    If you would like further assistance, please reply back with your exact model, your Operating System and the results from the troubleshooting.

  • Lumia 720 receiver hears static crackling sounds

    Hi,
    When i call someone they claim they hear static, garbled crackling sounds.
    I've tested it and yes it happens. On my end, everything is fine.
    It is not consistent.
    I just got my phone back from repair and it's still not fixed.
    They replaced the speaker, back cover.
    To re-iterate, i hear fine. Everything sounds perfect from my phone. It's the person receiving the call that hears the crackling. I don't think the repair guys were listening to me when i told them that. I said it 3 times.
    Can anyone provide any advice?
    I've tried different sim cards
    I've soft reset and hard reset my phone.

    They really replaced the speaker? If you hear fine and the people you are calling hear the interference I'd say it's the microphone that is at fault.

  • Garageband making loud double clicking sound when trying to record

  • Loud noise/crackling sound from speakers

    I have a CoreDuo 2ghz MacBook that is about 5 months old. It's already been in the shop to have a faulty heat sensor replaced (it was randomly just shutting down).
    I also have to take it in because the case has become really discolored in areas.
    But now I have this awful problem whereby the speakers are sending out really loud crackly noise. It just sitts there sending out this awful noise. Even if I turn the sound off, the crackling still comes from the area of the speakers.
    Has anyone else had this problem?
    Chris

    The problems been noted on this forum before - For Example ...but there's been no proposed solution. Perhaps when you bring your top case in for the discoloration issue you can have them check the wiring around the speakers.

  • Very loud Static when first making or receiving a call

    I am getting a Very loud Static (screeching sound) when first making or receiving a call 90% of the time.  Most of the time if I move the slider to a different position it will quit.  Other times I just have to call back.  Anyone having this problem?  Any solutions?
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Have you made a call with the slider closed? If the issue still happens it could be a loose wire or connection, or a network problem since it only when making the first call.
    I would take the device into the sprint store and have them do a network reprovision of the device. The network reprovision is a process where they delete the account on the network side and set it back up on the network side and program the phone with the new settings. If that does not resolve the issue then you can have the device warranty replaced right there at the sprint store.

  • 40rv52u won't start, loud static, solid green light, no backlight

    Hey everyone,
         So, it appears that we had a brownout yesterday, and it also appears that the brownout has jacked up my trusty Toshiba 40rv52u (2008, 40 inch LCD).
         Upon plugging in the device to power, it immediately attempts to turn on, at which point the green power light comes on, but no backlight, no fan sound, no humming, no picture, no nothing. Just a cheeky little green light that claims everything is fine.
         When left alone, after about 5-10 seconds of being "on," the television begins emitting this horrible, intermittent, 90's modem-style-SCREECHING static at near maximum volume through the internal speakers.
         The TV will respond to both the Power Switch on the unit itself, as well as via the Toshiba Remote Control. The same effects are present regardless of which power on method chosen.
         Toshiba Phone Support had me power off the television for a short while (I've already left it unplugged overnight, pressing POWER periodically to drain the capacitors), and attempt to clear any remaining power by holding the POWER BUTTON for 20s. To no avail. He also had me try doing a few things with the Remote, which also didn't work.
         I'm wondering if this is a common side-effect of serious damage. My TV has actually done this little gig once before, at which point I unplugged everything, left it off for 30m, and attempted to restart and it came back just fine like normal.
         I don't have any other issues with the television, and when it isn't doing this it actually appears to work just fine, have no problems switching resolutions (used as computer monitor via HDMI), changing settings, switching channels, navigating the menus. Even the onboard speakers work fine, although they don't get used.
         Is there a secret factory reset function somewhere? Has my Television really just been destroyed, even through a surge protector? Does the loud static interference sound point to anything specific? I saw some others on a different forum referring to loud static sounds potentially indicating a bad "SMPS" (Switching Mode Power Supply).
         The Toshiba rep pointed me in the direction of a local servicer, but the problem is that it's hardly worth it to spend $150USD-$250USD on repairing a Television that I purchased for near $300ish in the first place. . .3 years ago. . .or more. . .
         Anyway, thanks for help, hopefully somebody else has encountered this before, maybe with some better results than I have so far. Thanks!

    Honestly, leaving it unplugged from power is the closest to thing a secret factory reset. As far as I'm aware, it soudns like it requires servicing. Maybe someone else in the community will have a different idea.

  • 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.

  • Static-like sound from 27" iMac speakers

    I'm getting a loud intermittent static-like crackle from the left speaker on my 27" i7 iMac.
    I originally thought it might just be hard drive noise, since it seems to correspond to heavy hard drive activity, but the sound goes away when I plug headphones into the headphone jack. The noise comes out of the speakers at the same volume regardless of the volume setting, even when the speakers are muted, but it goes away entirely as soon as headphones are plugged in (and there is no noise coming over the headphones).
    Is there any possible software fix for this, or should I assume there's some loose connection in the hardware?

    I've been having the same problem, it has been extremely frusturating. I just purchased a 21.5 a couple of weeks ago, and exchanged it a couple of days ago. The same problem existed (and continues to exist) with both computers. It seems the problem only occurs if I do the following:
    Put computer to 'sleep' with headphones plugged in
    Remove the headphones while the computer is 'sleeping'
    Awake computer (with headphones unplugged)
    I then get an extremely loud static noise from the left speaker. It is impossible to make out any sounds (other then the static), and the right speaker is muted. The static is only present if the computer is attempting to run audio (e.g. songs, garageband, alerts, volume controls, etc).
    When I plug in the headphines, the sound is no longer present. I can then remove the headphones and everything seems fine.
    I spoke to a 'senior support technician' via apple support on two occasions. The first time the told me to exchange the computer, the second time the tech asked me to run the computer I safe mode, go to the 'colonel-something', and I put my computer through several other tests.
    The technician eventually requested I make an appointment with the 'Genius Bar' at a local apple store.
    This is my first Mac (I've always been a PC user), and this has shed a dark-cloud over the company for me. Although the service has been good , its been a terrible waste of time, and I've never been so fruturated with a brand new computer.
    If members of this forum are comfortable, I would request you put your computer through the steps listed above, and report your findings. I would like to know if this is a common issue, or if the store I got the computer from received a 'bad batch'.
    If this is a common problem, and apple does not resolve this issue, I will switch back to PC. Although it may seem to be a minor issue, this is unacceptable for a $1200 computer.

  • DM3-1035dx crackle sound from speakers while browsing

    I just recently purchased a dm3-1035dx. I have noticed that if I am playing music in the backround (Itunes/WMP) and surfing the web, I hear a short crakle/static when I open a webpage. The speakers work fine when just music is playing. But if i open a webpage i hear a short crackle of static
    The first dm3 I bought had the same problem. I returned it thinking it was defect. but this unit has the same problem 
    Specs:
    AMD Athlon™ Neo X2 dual-core processor L335 - 1.6ghz
    3GB DDR2 memory
    Windows 7
    IDT soundcard
    Audio drivers updated. WLAN wireless modem is disabled. Crackle sound can be heard through earphones as well  
    Is the processor too slow?
    How do i fix this??

    Hello,
    This is a known issue with almost all dm3. Check out this post : http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board/message?board.id=Hardware&thread.id=18960&view=by_date_ascending&page=1

  • Sound card problem: static/crackling and no sound

    I've had a late 2010 Macbook Air for over 3 years (February 2011). About a week or two ago I started hearing a strange popping noise every now and then while I was using headphones. I thought it was a problem with the headphones but then discovered the same thing when I used different external speakers. Almost simultaneously the internal speakers started periodically having no sound at all, even though it wasn't on mute. This was previously fixed by restarting the computer, but now the problem is permanent. The popping noise when using headphones has also rapidly worsened, and now crackles constantly and sometimes there is even very loud white noise. This occurs with any program on my computer - web browsers, spotify, itunes etc. As it's over three years old, I no longer have AppleCare. I'm not too keen on taking it into the Genius Bar unless I have some idea of how much it will cost beforehand, as I also need to replace my battery soon, which is going to be 129 euros. Does anyone know how to fix this problem, and if not, how much does it usually cost to replace the sound card? I'm using Mavericks but the problem started some time after I installed it.
    After doing some googling to try to fix it I've tried:
    - Turning it off and on again
    - Installing AntiPop
    - PRAM reset
    - SMC reset
    - Disabling and reinstalling Adobe on google chrome
    - Resetting the sound card with terminal

    Thanks Linc Davis. I thought I'd have to pay for the consultation at the Genius Bar, but you're quite right, it is free and you can decide not to go ahead if the quote they give is too much. Just thought I'd write what happened in case anyone else has the same problem. The cause was basically a small cable that needed to be repaired, which cost about 76 euros. I took it to an Apple Store in Paris and they fixed it within 24 hours, even though they estimated 3-5 days. He said another reason this problem might be occurring is because the Logic Board needs to be replaced which would have cost around 360 euros (probably not worth the money for a 3.5 year old laptop), but thankfully it was just the cable.

  • Loss of sound and loud static

    I am running iOS 4.0.2 and I am getting loud static starting slowly then full volume. After putting to sleep it wakes with no sound or again with static. Shutting down or doing a soft restart does not bring the sound back. I have restored once to a backup and have just restored as a new iPhone and will install apps one at time to see if any app is causing it.
    I am suspicious that it is the multitasking that is causing it. I am trying to confirm if it is a software or hardware problem.

    I have upgraded to 4.1 and have still experienced the problem. The last time I experienced the problem was whilst the phone was in a Belkin TuneBase Direct with Hands-Free. As I touched the button on the dock the static came and then it crashed the phone.
    Anyone experienced the same?

  • My left speaker is not working properly, and also making a crackling sound.

    I just bought this computer about a month ago and already having problems. Such as my computer shutting down on its own and now the speakers just started today. It is only the left speaker that starts cracking and then goes completely out, onlt hearing the right side speaker. This is the first time I have ever purchased an HP, and I may have to return this and go back to using Dells.

    I even had this too, try to go to sounds your speaker and adjust the left and right speaker, the left speaker without the right makes a crackling sound, the right speaker is opposite of that.
    If this cannot work try to go to a computer technician to fix the problem
    I'm actually want to fix this through a technician, but he's the one to fix the speaker.
    Hope that's alright.
