Feedback noise from computer speakers

my computers are emitting feedback noises when I turn the volume up. if i plug in headphones, i can hear the tapping of keyboard keys, and anything that's happening inside the computer. What do I do to fix this? Why is this happening?
please help me!

Same problem here!! no matter if speakers or headset is being used the feedback is terrible, even the volume if the mic is automatically turned down ( I guess to avoid the weird sound). the sound hardware checkup only finds that mic detects sound and that speakers make noice so it figures out that sound is ok
any ideas????

"Squelchy" noise from external speakers plugged into headphone jack

I get a strange, warmly, high pitched static continuous "squelchy" noise from my external powered speakers when I have them plugged in via cable to the headphone jack of my iPad (3rd gen). The noise occurs only with the iPad - the noise is not present with other devices, such as my iPhone 4S, older iPhone 3G, or my Samsung Galaxy or Toshiba Thriven (both Android devices). Also, the noise is present only with external speakers - never with headphones. Doesn't happen with Bluetooth audio.
The pitch of the squelchy noise seems to be related to how much load the iPad processor is under, though I can't say for sure. I honestly have no idea why it's making this noise. I thought it might be a ground loop issue which occurred only when I had external powered speakers plugged in while the iPad was also plugged in, but the noise happens when the iPad is running on battery, as well.
Does anyone have any ideas how I might get rid of this noise?

I don't know if this could be your problem, but...
On some systems the BIOS will sometimes disable the on-board audio controller at startup if it doesn't detect anything connected to the inputs or outputs (older HP computers did this to me ). You usually need to enter the BIOS and permanently enable the On-board Audio by changing the setting from 'Auto Detect' to 'Enabled'.
Hope that helps.

Feedback noise from iOS4 upgrade to 3GS

Dear Apple marketing folks, we appreciate your developers, but please get us a patch for this iOS4 issue ASAP. Think of the bad (and very public) experiences that are now happening daily with iPhones randomly making loud screeching noises in work places, cafes, buses, subways, etc.. Talk about bad word-of-mouth marketing. Ouch. The Android marketing people are going to have a field day with this one if it does not get fixed quick.
The recent upgrade to iOS4 on my otherwise great 3GS is causing random, loud, high-pitched, feedback noises to emit every time the phone makes a noise for anything else (reminder ding, etc).
A phone call with tech support only got me a suggestion to do a Restore via iTunes and confirmation that they know this is trending up. The Restore did not work.
Other threads listing the same issue:

2. http://bit.ly/cg1hKo
3. http://bit.ly/agbFAY
4. http://bit.ly/auDYNx
5. http://bit.ly/bTxsBT
Lots of blog mentions on the issue just like this one from iLounge: http://bit.ly/eA1rU.

I have had the same issue following my upgrade to iOS4. In my opinion these issues are uncharacteristic of Apple. I have had no issues with this phone or any other Apple product that I have used until I made the upgrade to iOS4. I agree with the other posts that something needs to be done about this (and other iOS4 issue) ASAP. PLEASE post any tricks that you have found (besides restores, and reboots which I have already done without lasting success)to work on a more permanent basis.

Feedback noise from microphone

I have an HP Pavilion desktop p6674y. I plugged in the microphone on the rear panel. The microphone works and I can record with it. But the feedback noise that comes through the logitek speakers makes it impossible hear the audio recorded over the noise. How can I eliminate the feedback noise?.

Popping noise from the speakers.

Today is the first time I've noticed it but also the first time I've used the machine in a truely quiet enviroment. After turning it on I hear slight popping sounds come from the speakers. Mostly the left speaker but a few times the right. Keep in mind there is NO audio playing while it does this.
Maybe its a heat up issue of some sort because while I logged in and typed this it seems to have stopped.
Anyone else have this happen?

I wanted to contribute to this topic.
I have had my MacBook Pro for 3 months now without any negatice issues of any sort. This is the best, most incredable machine I have ever owned. The other day, after installing a bunch of Widgets, .Mac Podcast pack for Garage Band, and other downloads such as custom icon sets and backgrounds, I noticed that a popping sound began to be emitted out of the left side of my MBP. This sound occurs aproxiamtly ever 20 to 30 seconds. I have rebooted, shut down and restarted, and cleared the cache, etc. many times in the last 3 days with no success at quieting the popping sound.
The only thing that changed on my end was the first time use of Garage Band, and the before mentioned added software to my MBP. Does anyone else who has this problem use that software or modifications?
Is it possible that it is simply a software malfunction causing the sound to be emitted?
Again, after 3 full months my usage patterns have not changed except for this added software/downloads, so I am assuming that since they occurred symotaniously that they are correlated. I hope this is helpful to anyone, end user or Apple themselves.
Comments/Suggestions/Ect. welcome
Thanks!

S20 Workstation off, noise from the speakers

Hello,
I have a ThinkStation S20, and lately from time to time you hear a hiss from the speakers even if the workstation is turned off.
May depend on what?
thanks

are you referring to the internal speaker or do you have external speakers connected?
does the sound go away when the power cable is disconnected from the S20 and capacitors have fully drained?

Hissing noise from the speakers

hi mates,
i hear a hissing sound from the internal speakers whenever the system tries to play sound through the internal speaker, be it a system sound or playing my music, or just by opening a application that may play music, i get this hissing sound before a system sound and this hissing noise continues for some time after the sounds are stopped playing, i get this hissing noise even when i change volume of the speakers. i dont get it through the headphones. the strange thing is i get this hissing noise even if i play a movie when my speakers are muted.
i went through this forum, some members have adviced to reset the pram, smc, reinstall the os, friends i tried all these but still i continue with this problem.
my macbook is brand new and just a week old.
i am really worried about this problem.

hi sailor,
contacted apple phone support, unfortunately apple care number is not free in australia.
first time it took 17min and was not able to contact a technician coz credits in my mobile ran out.
second time it took 25min. i explained all the issues
told them i reset the pram, smc and reinstalled the OS and still i hear the hissing noise.
they replied that speakers may make a hissing noise if the macbook is on battery, but the noise should be very low and it should not be audible, if the noise is audible and loud, they suspect its a hardware failure, i got my case id and will be taking it to the nearest service center here, for them to have a look.
so if u have a macbook that is under warranty dont hesitate to contact them. i guess even refurbished macbooks bought in online store also have a 1yr warranty.

Only records from computer speakers

Hi, I'm new at this program and am tryting to get up and running. Don't know much about Logic pro yet. I am trying to record something but my recording is only being captured from the computers speakers and not from the midi keyboard i have plugged directly into my computer? how do I get the computer to acknowledge my midi keyboard and stop recording from the actual sound of the piano in the room. Sorry if it's a stupid question..

Logic is a professional level program, it doesn't do anything for you, nothing is setup ready for the user to start recording, (like Garageband tries to do). You really need to read the manuals and online help to become aquainted with the program at a deeper level. I'm not trying to be rude but it's almost impossible to answer your questions with the little information you've given coupled with your lack of "Logic" knowledge. At this point reading the Getting Started manual and using Logic the online help is a must. You have to do some work to use this program.
No one knows whether you're trying to record MIDI, or Audio tracks or even how you have the keyboard hooked up.

Strange noise from my speakers ... help ...

I recently installed several new hardware components to my system. These include: an Antec 480 watt PS , Corsair TwinX1024 3200C2Pro memory, and and MSI FX5950 Ultra VTD-256 videocard.
Now ... here`s my problem ... when I am on a webpage , this one for example , and I use my Scroll Wheel on my mouse to scroll up or down , I get a strange chirping sound coming from my speaker. Not very loud , but enough to annoy. Also , when I am playing a certain game I enjoy , I get a loud humming noise similar to what I described through my my speakers. Similar to what you used to hear from old car radio speakers when you revved the engine.
At first I thought it may have been interference from my VidCards fans going into my Soundcard. So I dropped the soundcard to the lowest PCI slot (and farthest from the vidcard) available. Still the noise persists.
Any ideas out there what this might be , and how can I cure it ? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
My System : MSI MS-6590 mobo (KT6 Delta) , 100G Westrn Digital HDD , Corsair TwinX1024 3200C2Pro memory , MSI FX5950 Ultra Videocard VTD-265 , SoundBlaster Audigy Gamer Soundcard , Antec True Blue 480 Watt PS

man o man o man !!!!! I am soooooooooooo stoked !!!!! That took care of it !!! Kurtman I could kiss you lol I haven`t checked the games that I was having issues with so stay tuned for further results ... man I really appreciate what you have shown me so far. Lemme tell ya what else I have tried ..... I purchased an additional surge protector (for my Tower and Monitor only) and plugged it into a totally seperate outlet GOTTA LOVE extension cords ! Didn`t change anything

No sound from computer speakers

In sound preferences the output no longer shows computer and I have no sound. It only has "digital output" available.

Go step by step and test.
1. System Preference > Sound > Output > Internal Speakers
    Highlight Internal Speakers
    Make sure that Mute is not enabled.
2.Plug in and remove the headphone.
    If you see red light in the headphone port, plug the headphone
    in and out of the port 5 or 6 times to flip the microswitch inside.
    Sound output may be stuck in the digital mode.
3. Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
4. Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Choose the method for:
    "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
5. Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
    Audio Devices window
    Side Bar
    Click the Built-in Output.
    Under Mute any of the boxes checked? If so, uncheck it.

Hiss noise from iPad2 speakers when launching an app that uses the speakers

A couple of months ago I bought an iPad2 Wi-Fi. It was working fine until yesterday that it started making a hiss noise every time an app that uses the speakers was launched, for example when the keyboard clicks sound is enabled it will make noise while typing (this is somehow annoying). Is this a known issue?
Is this a hardware defect or can it be fixed with a software upgrade?
Thanks.

i have the same problem: ipad2 makes noise every time when plays sound (music, video, games, typing)
i'm sure that problem is hardware..
the noise exists only with speaker: if i connect headphones noise disappears

Speakers getting a feedback noise.

I have a set of BOSE Companion 2 series speakers, I keep on hearing a feedback every so often. I was trying to find the solution, but I can't. I have them hooked up in the Headphone/speaker jack on my new I-Mac 20" 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. I also have a Belkin USB Lighted Hub with a Western Digital usb external Hard Drive. I just don't want to ruin my new I-mac with some sort of power surge, or is this normal. Can some one give advice?

Sorry I was typing the question up and posted it in the wrong spot. I believe I have figured it out.
I have unplugged the speakers from the computer, but left them plugged into the wall plug. They still made the feedback noise. I am guessing it has to be from a different source or the speakers are faulty. I have never had a problem with any other speakers, so I was thinking it might be them.

Short, sharp noise from speakers when resuming from sleep

This doesn't happen all the time, but sometimes when I lift the lid on my MacBook and wake it up, I get this short, sharp 'SHHH' noise come from my speakers that lasts about a second or so just after the screen illuminates. It can sometimes happen a second time, but the sound is even quicker but quieter. I've never had a hardware fault or even a problem with OS X since I bought the machine (touches wood) but I'm simply curious.
Thanks for any pointers

I think the same thing is happening to me. I notice that sound when my computer is waking up from sleep and I try to change the volume. It happens for a brief millisecond but it's just a nuisance.
I tried resetting the SMC two different ways (the way listed in the article and the way Apple support told me over the phone). The way Apple told me (it's similar to the way in the article but it also involves holding down option + command + the P and R keys when turning on the computer again) works briefly - like once - and then the problem comes back.
Is this happening to anyone else?

Strange noise from speakers at certain times- Z77 G45

Good day. I'm having a strange issue where my computer speakers (plugged into the sound jacks on the mobo's sound "card") are producing noise at strange times. In particular, it seems to happen when I'm playing Minecraft. I had this issue years before with a machine, but was too young to care. The sound is sort of... idk how to describe it. It's not full-blown static. It's not popping. It's like the noise if you slowly let air out of a balloon, but higher pitched. Almost like you can hear the computer transmit things. It changes with what I'm doing on the machine... changing from one screen to another in Minecraft changes the nature of the noise.
Do any of you know what I'm talking about, by chance? If so, how's it fixed?

I've had similar issues off and on with various rigs. The last one was due to the PSU not being able to supply enough power to the graphics card while under load. However, yours should be good enough to handle that card.
Try disabling the "PC Speaker" and also see if it goes away when you mute the microphone on the motherboard. I've had both of these steps, individually or in unison, fix the issue.

HELP! How do I get rid of the volume noise that plays when I switch from internal speakers to external speakers?

How do I get rid of the volume noise that plays when I switch from internal speakers to external speakers? I'm trying to watch something on my TV through an HDMi cable (& apple adapter) and when I go to switch the sound control in preferences from internal speakers to SONY TV, the annoying "popping" noise occurs on my TV's speakers.

Go to Edit > Preferences > General > Import Settings and check the box for error correction, and then try one of the problem CDs again.
