FM Radio problem (crashes, loud hissing)

I have an xperia Z1 for a week ( BH90C, updated to 14.1.G.2.257).
Normally FM radio reception is very good. However, If the FM application is in background and I do web search, twitter, e-mail or facebook, a very loud hissing sound starts and fm application crashes. If I force close application and restart sometimes application works normally sometimes loud hissing continues and it become impossible to change fm channel. To solve the problem I cleared data and cache of FM radio app (with the Walkman app there is no such problem) but it did not solve the problem. Problem was there before the 14.1.G.2.257 update and it is still there.
Are there anybody else having the same issue? I can not decide whether it is a software or a hardware problem. Did you guys know a solution to this problem?

I made a factory reset. It did not solve my problem. I made a clean install latest update. Again no success.
I decide to give the xperia Z1 back to the seller. I will want refund and never ever will buy a sony phone again. They cannot even make a working phone. Today, phone started to produce weird sounds on phone calls.

Loud hiss during video chat

Hi,
I've been trying to chat with a Windows user running AIM. We are able to connect and get good quality video and sound... for about 15 seconds. Afterward the audio turns into a very loud hiss. Disconnecting and reconnecting restores the audio temporarily, but we spend almost as much time waiting for invitations to work as we do in the chat.
I thought this might be a feedback problem. Turning off my audio sending does sometimes make the hiss go away after a few seconds, but often does not. Switching to headphones does not help.
Also, we are able to do an audio-only chat with no problem, so it doesn't seem like there is anything intrinsically wrong with the audio.
Any ideas?

Sounds like you are picking up interference from and external source.
Could be anything.
Cables in Walls.
Microwave cooker.
Wireless modem or router close by.
General cabling near the Mic.

Optical drive burns disks with loud hiss OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5670S:

My iMac 24-inch 2.66 ghz is burning some disks that either have a very loud hiss or they have corrupted areas. The drive is a OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5670S. Has anyone else had this problem?

I also face the same problem, running on 10.6.1. Somebody suggested to upgrade the firmware of this drive to 2AHH. But where to get this firmware upgrader? From Apple directly?

Mackbook Pro 17 inch loud hissing from left speaker

Has anyone had a problem with 17 Inch Macbook Pro, loud hissing from left speaker after a full SMC reset?
It only makes the hissing sound when a audio clip or system sound is in progress.
Cheers

Fixed.
Whilst playing around with the balance control, I discovered left was right and right was left.
Opened the top cover, unplugged flipped over and replugged the speaker plug on the left board (it looks like it's a one way plug but it still allows it to be plugged in the wrong way).
Working properly now.
Hope this helps someone out there.
Cheers

No sound through speakers, and LOUD hissing through headphones - Inspiron 3537

Hi,
So yesterday the sound on my laptop's internal speakers stopped working, and when I plug the headphones in there is a loud hissing noise - way too loud to be able to stand when trying to listen to something, though I can hear the audio as well. The volume of the hissing is not affected by the volume control on the laptop but the actual audio can be made louder. Have also tried running the audio test in the EPSA diagnostic, and I cannot hear anything. Anyone have any ideas?
I have a Dell Inspiron I5, model 3537. Have had it less than 18 months so if it is a hardware failure I am extremely disappointed in the manufacturing quality. Had my previous Philips laptop for six years and never had a problem like this!

Have also tried running the audio test in the EPSA diagnostic, and I cannot hear anything.
Hello. Failure to hear tones through the speakers during the ePSA audio quick test means that the speakers have either become disconnected or failed. I don't know if you would want to take the laptop apart to check the connection, but if so there is a manual available with complete disassembly instructions.
Harder to account for the loud hissing. If you currently have the Realtek audio driver installed, switch over to the Windows native driver and see if it makes a difference.
1. Open the Device Manager (type devmgmt.msc in the Windows search box).
2. Expand the "Sound, video & game controllers" and right click on "Realtek High Definition Audio".
3. Select to "Update Driver Software".
4. Click on "Browse my computer for driver software".
5. Click "Let me pick from a list of drivers on my computer".
6. Put a check in the box "Show compatible hardware" if not already checked.
7. In the list of devices, click "High Definition Audio Device" (the native driver).
8. Click "Next".
9. On the Update Driver Warning box, click "Yes" (install the driver).
10. Restart the laptop if prompted. If not prompted, then no need to restart.
[To get back to the Realtek driver, do it again but reverse the names in steps 2 and 7.]

Curve 9220 problem with loud speaker

I am having problem with loud speaker since purchase. Volume level fluctuate every time, sometimes not audible also.
Complaint given to service centre in Jaipur-India but they are not cooperative.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
I recommend that you attempt to boot into Safe Mode:
KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
It may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient. When successfully into Safe Mode, see what happens.
If the behavior ceases, then think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was.
But if the behavior continues in Safe Mode, then you may need to consider more drastic actions -- WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload, and the "Bare Bones" OS Reload Process. To prepare, you should be sure that you have a full backup to your PC...please review the Backup link in my auto-sig on this post for instructions.

Won´t boot up and loud hissing sound when battery is in.

Hello, I have a powerbook g4 and leopard installed. The other day the computer started making a loud hissing sound and had a black screen(it looks like is in sleep mode) won´t come out of the apparent sleep mode. If I take the battery out it stops making the loud hissing sound but everything else remains the same. Also the light in the power cord is acting werid. The only thing I got to do was to finally turn the computer off and tried for about 3 days to charge it but the powercord wasn´t working so finally it worked(after 3 days) it almost booted up but then went into the sleep coma again. (the light indicator in the cable turned off but after taking out and put in it back in the light turned on. Please help, I can´t find any good answer for this!?? thanks everyone in advance.

I just went over and looked at the computer and it seems that is making the hissing noise again even with the battery out.

Why is there a loud hissing noise?

From time to time there is a loud hissing noise coming from the iMac speakers. Sometimes it is very brief, other times it lasts for 15 seconds or so. Anyone know what's causing this on a late 2013 iMac with SSD and rotating hard drive. Thanks.

What you describe is probably hardware.
However, you might try resetting the SMC.

When taking video the sound is a loud hiss on the playback (and when transferred/uploaded to computer) drowning out the sound of the video itself. How do I fix this?

I'm using the default camera app with the phone. Happens every time with videos that I take with the camera. does not occur when watching other videos, only videos taken with the phone. and when the video is uploaded to a computer or online, the hiss stays with the video.
I just bought the phone a few months ago, so this is the first time I’ve tried taking video with it. I’ve tested repeatedly to see if its intermittent but it’s constant.

Curve 8300 Radio Problems

For the past week I have been having radio problems with my 8300. The area I live is not great for service but I had another Blackberry user bring their phone to my house today and they were getting almost full service. I have already updated my software to the 4.5v. The phone is just over a year old, does anyone have any advice on wether this is my phone or maybe the SIM card. I do not want to buy a new phone usless I absolutely have too. Because of the area I live in, my phone radio does work a little harder since it can go be constantly searching if I do not put the phone in the right place, with one finger up my nose ;-) if you know what I mean. How annoying!!!
Thank you...

Was the other user on the SAME carrier as you?
There is nothing wrong with getting a SIM swap on your SIM from your carrier. They will do that for free... just explain the issue of low coverage and that it was recommended you swap SIMs.

E52 radio fm crash problem issue

I got my mobile a week ago and listened to fm radio three times and had it crashed every single time i used the radio feature. Anyone heard anything of a new update? Did anyone try to reinstall the software?
It can be really annoying if you'd like to, obviously, listen to some radio.
I've checked other threads about this issue and it seems that most people gave up solving the problem and expect an update.
If you have any ideas how can I get rid of the problem, please let me know.

It's always hard to know, but I am pretty sure that this would have to do with some softwareissue. Are you running the latest Firmware?

Audigy 2 - loud hiss/static over speakers. No other sound can be he

So I had a power outage tonight and so I had to reset the CMOS on my computer. So I did that, reset all my settings and then when I got into Windows, instead of having sound I get this loud and constant hissing/static from my speakers. I've tried reseating the sound card and trying another PCI slot but to no avail. So I uninstalled my drivers, used Driver cleaner, reinstalled drivers and I still get the same static.
The card is an Audigy 2 ZS, speakers are Logitech Z-5500 in analog mode. Is there a problem with my sound card or could it be software related?

Well because my surge protector kicked in and so did my PSU so I had to reset the CMOS in order for my computer to turn on.
And I'm pretty sure its not the CMOS options.
The funny thing is all my audio software detects the card and so does the drivers and I even pass all the diagnostic tests. But I still only get static.

Ichat loud hissing noise

I was chatting this evening on a latest version MacBook with another user who has the same setup. I was in Barrie and the other person in Toronto. Both of us were complaining about a terrible hissing sound during the chat. I have never had a problem with a sound like this when playing music or watching a clip from the net on the MacBook. Any suggestions why this loud screeching hissing noise exists and how to get rid of it?

I'm experiencing the exact same problem (though I'm not hearing a hissing, more like, as my brother-in-law described it, the sound of someone breaking wine glasses continually). I tried the iChat for this first time this evening with my brother-in-law, sister and their daughter, and we were getting a pretty horrible feedback noise. While it may work as a solution, using external speakers and/or microphones would seem to be counter to the whole idea of using a laptop. It shouldn't be necessary to lug such things around with you just to get good sound quality in the iChat. Headphones (another possible solution I read about) are impractical if you're having a conversation with more than one person at the other end.
I'll check out the "Volume" settings in System Preferences and see if that helps things, however.
Now, the video was great!
