Headphones make electronic buzzing/beeping sound when plugged in, anyway to fix?

Whenever i try to use my headphones or external speakers a very annoying beeping sound comes out, it is not the headphones for sure i have tried many different pairs. I have yet to find a way to fix this, i was wondering if anyone could help me out, because this aggravates me. Thanks!

Sounds a lot like Ground Loop, but does this Mimi have USB3?

No sound when plugging iPhone Headphones into 2009 13" Macbook Pro

If I visit the Preferences -> Sound configuration, in the Input tab is shows the microphone activity when I talk into the microphone portion of the ear buds. But there is no sound when playing music. Under both sections, Use audio port for: Headphones with Built-in External Mic.
It seems like it knows what I plugged in and seams to want to use it correctly, but I just get no sound. I've tried these ear buds in my iPhone and the sound comes out of the ear buds just fine.
I've tried another set of ear buds that don't have a mic built in, and those produce sound when plugged into the Macbook Pro and the "Use audio port for" is set to "Sound Output." This seems to be a problem with the earbuds that come with the new iPhones. They are the ear buds that also have a microphone in-line.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? I'd really appreciate any help. I've played around with some setting to try and fix this. I've gone to audio midi setup and changed from 2-bit 16 to 2 bit 32 while the headphones are plugged in thinking that might have solved the problem after reading multiple forums, but that didn't help either.
I have Lion installed. 10.7.3. And it's a 2009 Macbook Pro 13" with only one external audio port.

Not sure about your iMac problem, but from reading about 16 different websites, this is a very widespread problem. I don't know how you ever got it to work, but everyone with a new 13" MBP with the combined audio port is saying that you have to use one of those special cables that has more "rings" around it like the iphone headphones that have a built in mic to use line in. Read this article http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1389284&highlight=audio+in+from+ste reo where there are a whole host of people complaining about this. Apparently there are some aftermarket parts you can get to solve this, but if I was you i'd make a trip to an apple store if thats possible, or pick up the phone and call them and confirm whether or not this should work. It seems they are advertising line in, and that is not possible without a combination cable. Either way I hope this helps you. Sorry I couldn't be of more help than this. Definitely opens my eyes about a combination port though. Please post back with your results, as I am considering buying a macbook air, and would like to know what i'm getting into if i'm using a combination port.

IPad makes beeping sounds when charging while connected to mac

iPad makes beeping sounds when charging while connected to mac

First off, I suggest using the charger that came with the iPad and plug that into a good wall outlet. USB ports often do not supply enough power for efficient charging on an iPad.

Continious beeping sound when booting up Satellite L350-235

Hi everyone,
I have an issue on one of our Toshiba's. it gives me now a Continious beeping sound when booting up the machine after giving in the bootpw.
If i remove the battery and plug it back in it boots normally. But After the next reboot the problem occurs again.
Any idea?
Wim Bolanger

Hi WimB_1,
> it gives me now a Continious beeping sound when booting up the machine
That means your hardware is malfunctioning and something must be repaired or exchanged.
So in my opinion you should contact an authorized service provider. The guys can check your notebook and repair it. If your notebook is under warranty, the repair is for free.
Here you can find a list of them:

Good luck! :)

I'm getting a random beep sound when I hit the input button to record a turntable

I'm getting a random beep sound when I hit the input button to record a turntable & mixer plugged into the mbox thats bleeding into the recording. How can I stop this? Please help me. It's happening if I'm recording or not, as soon as I hit the (I) input it beeps randomly.

Thanks Jim,
Seems to be this song. Other projects don't have this issue.
I even took and opened the project on another computer, bounced it again and got the same "click" at the same 13 second area.
I've bounced each track solo, listened and NO click at the 13 sec. mark
No third party plug-ins.
The click doesn't land close to any beginning or end of a region.
Final mix down looks good, no peaking over 0db.
This is making me nuts!

Mac making beeping sound when CD is inserted

Ok so I have been trying to rip a CD, Sugarland: The Incredible Machine, onto my computer for the past week. At first I thought it was that particular CD, that something was wrong with it so I exchanged it and got a new one. It is making the same beeping sound when I insert it. It doesn't show up in iTunes, except briefly to rip 2 songs then spit the CD out. I tried a different CD, The Eli Young band, and it ripped perfectly fine so I know it's not the computer. Does anyone know why my computer is doing this with just this one CD??

In general you normally will hear a whirling sound coming from the cd drive while a cd is spinning. If the cd has any labels on it might make the cd unbalanced then you might hear an even louder vibration coming from the drive. Otherwise as long as the cd is working in the drive and mounting it should be normal. Was the cd not showing up for you?

Why do I get a two tone beeping sound when trying to call my wife's Iphone 5c? Call does not go through.

Has anyone ever gotten a two tone beeping sound when trying to call an Iphone on the Verizon network? The call never connects, just the beeping sound.

I would try deleting her contact and then re-adding it.

A beep sound when tabbing through non editable textpane

Hi,
I have a form which has a Jtextpane and three buttons. TextPane is non editable and enabled. Whenever tab is pressed and focus is sent to TextPane, a beep sound is heard. I have only actionPerformed and KeyPressed methods in my form. If I make JTextPane editable, beep sound disappears. Is it default java behavior? Anyway to stop it?
Thanks alot.

I have a MacBook Pro 15" 2007 which sometimes goes berserk writing the letter 'h', and makes a fast tapping sound when not in a doc. It stops when I hit the delete key. Also can't use the letter 'h' in a word processor.

I have a MacBook Pro 15" 2007 which sometimes goes berserk writing the letter 'h' in a word processor. It stops when I hit the delete key for a while. Also can't use the letter 'h' in a word processor. The computer makes a fast tapping sound when not in a doc, in any application or in the finder or when a application is running. Sometimes when this is happening I cannot control the cursor. I have to hit the 'delete' key to proceed. Does anyone know anything of this?

New mail doesn't make the "new mail sound" when received

Hi! I have a .mac email account, and I use two different aliases for the account. I want all the mail sent to one of the aliases to go into a designated mailbox. I've tried doing this with both a smart mailbox and using a rule to move the messages to a mailbox on my .mac account (not both at the same time, I've tried it separately both ways).
Both of these options work, except that mail will not make the "new mail" sound when I get a new email for that mailbox. Even when I add to the rule that it should make a sound, it doesn't. Other mail (i.e., all of my other mail that is delivered normally to my inbox) is not affected--I still get the normal sound. Any ideas? Thanks! (And BTW, I always give points for helpful answers!)

You’re welcome.
Actually, I don’t participate here just to be helpful. I also do it to learn. I know WAY more about Mail now than I knew when I started helping people here... and without having experienced myself any of the problems I troubleshoot each and every day...
I really wanted an answer.
That’s precisely why you shouldn’t say in advance that you’ll give points. Nobody is going to assume you won’t, so there is no need to say you will. All you have to do is mark posts when appropriate (without saying in advance that you will). That makes everybody happy.
don't you ever get frustrated by the number of people who don't
mark helpful or solved answers as such?
Not if the OP somehow lets me know whether the proposed solution worked or not. Sometimes I know for sure what the problem is and how to solve it, but others I don’t, and the user’s feedback is way more valuable to me than any points I could get.
So yes, merely setting up a smart mailbox is enough to make Mail
to quit making the sound.
I’ve been unable to reproduce what you describe, but I’ve found something that could be related. Selecting an IMAP (or .Mac) mailbox causes Mail to check for changes made to that mailbox, including checking for new mail and applying rules as appropriate, just like it would do when automatically checking for mail according to your settings, except no sound is played if new mail arrived...
Could that be what you’re observing, i.e. could it be that Mail is actually behaving as expected but it seems that it isn’t because you’re checking for new mail as a result of manually selecting the account’s Inbox or something like that?

The beeping sound when dialing a number suddenly got extremely loud.

The beeping sound when dialing a number suddenly got extremely loud on my iPhone 5. I have read that it can't be turned off unless you mute the entire phone. I have turned off all keypad sounds. How do I adjust the beep volume back down to normal?

I just recently started having the same problem a few days ago. My phone has always made keypad noises when dialing, but now they are EXTREMELY loud, almost to the point it is uncomfortable when you have the phone close and dialing. It is driving me crazy and I can't find any fixes.
**Edit** I just got super frustrated and restarted my phone 3 times in a row. After the third hard reset, my volume is back to normal. Give that a shot.

I have switched languages to french but get the "apple" beep sound when I run spellcheck not results at all?

You need to select the text and apply:
Inspector > Text > More > Language > Français
So Pages knows what language to check it with. Language is like bold or color or font, it is part of the text style.

X200 black screen and beep sound when power module is plugged on and off

Hello,
I have the following problem. Today I turned on my X200 without power module, and when I plugged in power - the screen starts to flicker. This was not before, and I am using my laptop only during a week.
After that I turned on the laptop with power module, it was OK, but when I plug out and plug in power module, computer makes "beep" sound and becomes black for a second. Is that normal behavior?
Thank you!

does your battery hold a full charge. is it in good shape. is your machine under warranty. you could try support, but they're probably just gonna tell you to open a service claim. another thing, did it always do this or is this something that just started. did you just download any updates and this started right after. or did it just start doing this for no reason.
