  • Clicking sound with new P5800 Speakers

    I just purchased the P5800 set and took off some cambridge soundworks speakers. The P5800 speakers have this annoying clicking sound. What is odd is that you hear the clicking sound as soon as you turn on the speakers but if you turn the volume level up about 2/3's to full volume the clicking goes away. I hear it when nothing else is playing. What could be causing this? If I can't fix it I will be taking the P5800's back and setting up my other speaker set.
    Can you help?
    Thanks,
    Ken Scott

    I've had this happen with another laptop. It would click away but work fine for a few weeks. After that, the system would often stop responding momentarily but come back to life in a couple of seconds. I started seeing plenty of data corruption in time, threw out the drive and got a new one.
    Yours could behave differently but I'd continue with the time machine backups like there's no tomorrow! Btw, I've had mixed results with the WD blues, both the scorpio and caviar.

  • External speakers popping/clicking sounds on new 24" iMac 2,8 GHz

    Hello everyone,
    got a new iMac from Gravis in Germany and connected it via it's headphone jack to my external stereo amplifier and it emits clicking or popping sounds whenever I switch the light in my room on or off. I've used the same connection for my Windows PC and that is working fine - no pops or clicks. The problem also exists if the Mac is muted. I can not hear clicks or popping noises when I disconnect the external speakers and use the in-built ones.
    I brought my Mac back to Gravis and explained the problem and they replaced the audio board and cabling. No success. The popping and clicking is still there. Replacing the audio cable with a better shielded one does not fix the problem. Turning the power connectors of amplifier and/or Mac 180° does not help also.
    The problem seems to come from a bad shielding inside the Mac or the built-in power supply that is not capable of filtering the power surges.
    I've found some threads but I'm not sure whether or not these issues are related. Some people seem to think that these problems are software related.
    A workaround could be:
    1) getting an online USV that disconnects the Mac from the power cabling
    2) using the digital output (toslink)
    3) getting an external Firewire or USB sound device for sound output
    Neither of these three workarounds are options for me - I still want a fix for my Mac.
    Anyone here who has the same problems?
    vex

    Hi Elvinio,
    I'm trying to solve this problem by getting rid of the analog connection between Mac and stereo. I've ordered a digital 7.1 receiver for 250 Euro and a toslink cable for 20 Euro.
    Another solution would be an online UPS. That UPS disconnects the Mac from the direct power source and delivers "freshly generated" and "perfect" current without disturbances.
    I think that those pops are power surges that are not filtered by the Apple Mac's power supply. My ordinary Windows PC is not subject to clicking and popping sounds - so I suppose that either the power supply or the internal shielding of the Mac is crap.
    I hope that those ugly pops are gone when I establish the new connection...
    I will post the results of my not too cheap work-around.
    Regards

  • Possible HDD problem - clicking sound and system hangs on Qosmio G30-116

    Hi,
    I just got my G30-116 back from service (screen replacement) and after 2 days another problem. It just keeps hanging out.
    I did not change a thing since I got it and now it just stops working on occasional things like browsing the internet. It has not happened before. And my biggest worry is the clicking sound that my hard drive makes.
    What can be wrong? It did not crush before I have sent it to service, not I think my hard drive is faulty... Thanks

    What to say? If you can not find out why freezing problem occurs try to preinstall OS with delivered recovery DVD.
    Anyway according to your description I am afraid there is some serious problem with HDD and it can be just worse then now. Please be sure your data are backed up.
    Please contact service again and explain them the situation. If the HDD is defective you will get new one and if they have the HDD on stock it can be replaced very fast. G30 is very nice unit and I hope you will be satisfied. Few days ago my friend has visited me and we have tested his G30 with HD-DVD drive on my LCD TV. I just can tell you one thing: I am really impressed about HD picture quality.
    Good luck!

  • New iMac20, strange clicking sound

    Hi,
    I have had my iMac 20" MB324RS/A for about 2 week, and from first day I have strange clicking sound like a clock "tick-tock" with 2-3 sec frequency. There is no dependence between this noise and CPU/HDD/CD load etc.
    I now, somebody have a troubles like this, but only when display sleepeng. My iMac have this clicking every time after "Power On" regardless of OS was loading or not.
    Sorry for my English

    Well... looks like any 5400rpm drive produces such a clicking sound, even though I've never heard it on a 15" PB 1.5 Ghz et al.. The new Hitachi HD isn't as bad as the other one (Toshiba), yet the sound is still very noticeable.
    Guess I got to get used to it. On the Titanium PB, the fan kicks in when charging the battery for about 15 min, so a PB 12" with a clicking HD might not that bad.
    Traded a yet jet engine for a movie projector, he he he.
    The display doesn't look quite as good the TiBook's and it's got a fairly poor viewing angle, yet I knew that already. Besides that, you got to love the 12" PowerBook!!! There's a significant speed increase (1.5 Ghz 1.25 GB Ram, bigger, faster HD vs. 867 Mhz, 768 MB Ram) and - thanks to DesktopManager - the smaller screen is very usable for most tasks. It's much more portable than the 15" and the best of all, all my third party (PowerPC) menu items, preference panes, Latex installation, applications work perfectly. Cloned the TiBook HD and I was up and running within 2 h, thats how long it takes to copy 40GB via FW 400.
    Let Apple roll out some great Intel machines and software developers universalize their apps. In the meantime, I'm carrying around a cute little PB. Buying a PowerPC Mac today is a reasonably choice, if you're like me and need to support a bunch of Macs around you. Software reliability is another key point. Joe Average might be tempted to get a fast Macbook though.
    Who knows, maybe Apple comes up with a 12" PB replacement tomorrow, which is so good, I'll be kicking myself he he he. Wish list: HD screen (without any strange lines, of course), back-lit keyboard, thinner and lighter, Core Duo.

  • Annoying Click Sound from HDD

    Hi guys, a new mac user here!
    Unfortunately, from the day I started using my macbook pro, I hear a very annoying click sound from my HDD.
    You can listen the recorded sound via the link below;
    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1526978/20091124%20214842.mp3
    If you listen 01:07 and 01:08 seconds of this mp3 file closely in a very silent environment, you will hear the sound.
    What do you think about it? Any ideas for this problem?

    http://www.vimeo.com/8193758
    You can watch the video at the address below and hear the sound at 10th, 14th and 20th seconds.
    I really want to hear your thoughts about it.
    Best Regards

  • Clicking sound HDD MQ01ABB200

    Hi.
    Recently I bought a Toshiba MQ01ABB200 internal hdd from Amazon Spain (I am from Spain). When I mount it and the hdd began to write, there was sometimes a clicking sound maybe 3 click in 3 seconds and after that 2 clicks in 30 seconds. when the hdd vas reading, there wasn't any click.
    So I turn it back the Amazon and I get a new one, but there is the same problem..
    I speak with Toshina support in Spain, but they don't give me a solution. Only to turn it again back.
    The clicks are only sometimes at writing and when it goes to idle.
    Crystaldiskinfo don't give problem report.
    Does anyone know if this clicking is normal? It's like the head are hitting somethink?

    I would not keep one that clicks.

  • Brand new i5 mbp - when typing slight ticking/clicking sound??

    Just received my new i5 15 inch macbook pro. I am experiencing that when I type I am hearing a slightly audible ticking or clicking sound (to be clear I am not talking about the sound the keys make when struck but an additional sound). When not typing I don't hear anything and there doesn't seem to be anything consistent about what keys are struck that trigger the noise but it consistently happens while typing almost as if something is loose inside. But when I give the laptop a gentle shake I don't hear anything. Any insight or thoughts before I go nuts and sound crazy at the Genius bar??
    Thanks!

    I would check for a possible loose screw holding the bottom panel on. That being said, since I don't own one of those models (I have a late 2011 MBP 13"), I have no idea if the screws they use on the newer models are standard Phillips or Apple's proprietary Pentalobe (5-sided) screws. I would assume they are Phillips since the PC is likely upgradable (HDD, memory). If they are Phillips, go through and snug up the screws. It may help. Also, since the MacBook is new, you may want to take it in to the Genius Bar and have them check it out for you if you snug up the screws and it's still making the clicking sound.
    EDIT: chek out the links on the right side of the page that says "More like this", especially here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/10112877#10112877
    The sound you're hearing may be the normal operation of the SMS (Sudden Motion Sensor).

  • How to turn of the "new tab/window" click sound in Firefox 4?

    I have just installed Firefox 4.0.1 on Gentoo Linux.
    Any time I open a new tab or window, there is a "click" sound. It sounds deliberate, like a notification.
    The sound persists even when turning all addons off.
    How can I disable that sound?

    I tested this on my coworkers iPhone 5 running iOS8, and it does not occur for him. So it must be a bug. I am posted a bug report. Here is video of the issue happening: https://www.dropbox.com/s/6t7gwmvj0gc3wvh/IMG_3519.MOV?dl=0

  • Clicking sound in Safari when viewing new tabs

    Hi,
    I'm having an issue with safari v5.0.2 on a macbook pro, where each time I first visit a new page on a tab, I hear a clicking sound. It only happens to tabs with pages I'm visiting for the first time in the session.
    I have several other Macs which don't show the issue.
    I'm getting a bit paranoid, cos I bought the macbook pro from an acquaintance who's had it a number of years. He had "wiped" the disk of his stuff before handing it over, but I found a tracking software installed.
    I've since erased the disk, but this sound (which my other 4 comps don't make) is making me nervous.
    Any thoughts? Thanks.

    I did a 7-pass erase.
    That'll do it eh
    ...comes through the speakers
    good - must be some software glitch or universal access setting; the account test should confirm where to look, or you might start by disabling any safari extensions or other add-ons.

  • New Mac Pro makes 'clicking' sound when picked up / inverted

    Hello,
    I've recently purchased a new mac pro - 3.5GHz 6-core, 32GB ram, 512 GB, D700.
    So far so good with this unit - it seems to be a solid machine - albeit one tiny question...... I generally use it in a shared office environment, so at the end of the day pack the unit into a flight ready peli case. When picking the unit up, it makes an internal clicking sound (especially when rotating the machine over it's axis).
    I might be complaining about nothing here.....but with having to move the machine a couple times a day, with air travel with it planned soon, i'd like to be assured that some internal component's not going to fall off in transit.
    Does anyone have a similar issue? Possibly there's no cause for concern.
    Many thanks.
    Morgan.

    lllaass suggestion makes sense.
    The standard orientation is upright, and there is no strong reason to limit the end-play on the fan motor shaft. Even when placed horizontally, the fan would settle into one position when spinning and stay there.

  • My new Canon HF R400 makes clicking sound on playback. Canon replaced but still clicking sound. Same

    Clicking sound on playback so annoying on most clips that I mute sound which is not the way I want my video to play. When I contacted Canon teck support they replaced but replacement has same problem. Either a terrible coincidence or something I'm doing wong. Please advise.

    Hi starwatcher!
    Thanks for posting.
    Try setting the camcorder on a tripod or a flat stable surface, then turn the Image Stabilizer off in the menu under [Other Settings] > > [Image Stabilizer].
    When you record new video after doing both things above, do you still hear the clicking noise?

  • Dropped my ipod and now it makes a clicking sound and won't turn on at all. is it cheaper to get a new one or fix this one?

    i have tile floors and i dropped my ipod classic flat on its back while it was off. i tried turning it on after that and it now it makes a clicking sound and won't even turn on. all it shows is a dead ipod and told me to go to apple.com/support/ipod. i'm not sure how to fix it or if it's even fixable. or is it just cheaper to get a new one?

    If the phone will not power on try these three things:
    Connect it to your phone charger
    Connect it to your computer and open up iTunes
    Perform a hard reset (Hold down the sleep/wake (top) button at the same time as the home (circle) button for 45 seconds. When the apple appears on the screen let go of both buttons.

  • Pressing the bottom of new MBP retina makes crunching/clicking sound

    When i gently press the bottom of my mbp retina i can hear crunching and clicking sounds on one of the bottom sides (right side if the notebook is upside down). The other side of the bottom doesn't squeak at all. Have you guys faced this problem? Do they replace notebooks with assembly issues?

    It's covered by a 1 year warranty, you can make an appointment at your local Apple Store or AASP to have it looked at. Sounds at best are hard to troubleshoot. If you suspect the HD please check out the Failing hard drive sounds link.
