Help: Screeching noise during games, VoIP (X-Fi Pla

I'm currently having annoying screeching noises emit from whatever speaker/headset I plug into my X-Fi Platinum, during games, using VoIP such as Ventrilo, and consistently when I alt-tab back to desktop. I have reinstalled and reseated the X-FI card twice to no avail. BIOS has also been flashed to most recent edition. I only have one choice as far as PCI slot on?my Asus A8N-32 SLI because in other slots, the X-Fi defaults to a shared IRQ with my 2 7900 GTs. This noise generally lasts for 5-0 second at a time, and is absolutely unbearable. What is the solution to this problem?

A response would be appreciated CL.

Please help me CREATIVE !!! Audigy 2 ZS causes hiccup/stutter/freeze during game p

HI,
During game play it would freeze (or stutter) for about sec and then back to normal and this happens about every -2 mins, if I take out the audigy sound card then the prob goes away
It didn't used to do this or at least I wasn;t aware of until I ran a program called PCI Latency Tool 2.0 to test different settings of the PCI latency timer and all hell broke loose. Ive tried reloadingh the BIOS and reimaging the partition to the state where everything used to work but to no avail
I look at the IRQ table in WIn XP and the AGP card & the Audigy are sharing the same IRQ but I guess this is normal for WIn XP
I have no spyware running in the background, no USB game pad/controller plugged in, AGAIN the prob goes away when I take out the sound card
I only have AGP and PCI slot, I have a mini motherboard

Inspire T5400 Bad Screeching Noise

Hello,
I just got the Creative Inspire T5400 5.1 speaker system from Newegg a half a week ago and everything seems to sound really good... except for the fact that when these speakers idle right after a song or loud noise in a game, they will make this really weird noise that's very high in frequency. My parents can't hear it (the older you get, the more hearing loss :S), neither can my sister, but I can and it really distracts me from the good sound coming from these speakers. This doesn't only happen when some loud noise or song finishes, sometimes they'll do it constantly while there is a lot of sound and it really throws you off.
I'm not sure how you can describe the noise, I mean, it's high pitch... but the closest I can compare this to is if you have ever heard someone turn on night vision in a game, that screeching noise that goes up is pretty close to what these speakers do. I know it's not my sound card because I just had it replaced by a Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit and this issue still takes place. I don't know if these speakers are somewhat defected or if it's just what they do.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated...

You are correct, I have exactly the same problem and am doing a second RMA on my T5400 speakers. A bit on the weird side though, when I tip the subwoofer towards me, the sound fades away momentarily. Something internally wrong indeed...

K7n2 Delta2 platinum crashes during games / video

after having problems with the 2nd Dimm slot on my Gigabyte board i gave that away and bought an MSI socketA board as per the subject line of the post, and transplanted all the hardware onto the MSi board.

booted, and built fine, puzzeled about 2.7Volts for memory, but i guess 3Gb sucks a bit of juice.
crashed during games like doom3, farcry, trackmania sunrise etc. even just playng video! pushing up the memory voltage to 2.8v from 2.6v seemed to help... it would just run a little longer before crashing. everything is stock speed and voltage except the ram. tried all kinds of combinations of dimms in slots, tried upping the CPU Vcore. all chipset and GFX drivers are the lastest versions (5.10 for the mainboard, and whatever the current one is for the GFX card).
totally stumped. what is going on? and if anyone says i should have checked the ram compatability chart, i shouldn't HAVE to check to see if my ram is compatable. it should just work. and i am definatly NOT ditching £330 worth of ram over a £50 mainboard. the dimms are all from the same batch, same manufacturer, etc etc, and no trouble all with my old gigabyte board.
also checked the hardware, pulled cards, swapped gfx boards - my GF6800GT, spare GF5900U, old GF5200, and my old faithfull PCI GF2MX400. same problem.
now heres the kicker. got home from work for another evenings troubleshooting, (windows and games would blue screen saying i should check the drivers, or the hardware, gfx card) and found that the PSU had died. really annoyed now. when i go buy a new PSU, any suggestions? or shall i take this MSI board outside and shoot it?
come back gigabyte, all is forgiven.

If those figures are right, I can't see the PSU as the reason for your problems.
About the temps, though I haven't got that experience myself, some temperature monitors read very high levels, while BIOS tells it as all is idle, and very idle. I mean, it could be the messenger.
Yep, I searched the Internet, quote 1 below. Thermaltake?! Maybe they have changed the specs? It is twice as expensive but moves half the air as to the Spire Whisperrock I've got (quote 2). I would if I were you, really go for an 80 mm HSF anyway.

Weird Freezing Issues... with Screeching Noise!

It said to post here if it didn't fit any other categories. There was not a Post Topic button on the main page so I apologize if this is the wrong place. I have an Indigo iMac, bought from ebay, running 10.3.9 and 9.2.2. It arrived yesterday and I setup my admin account with no problem. But very, very randomly, it just freezes up. About half the time, when you hit the restart button the screen goes dark and there's a loud screeching noise while the power button flashes slowly. After which you have to hold in the power button to shut it off. turn it back on and it seems to run fine for awhile but then it'll freeze. Every now and then I get lucky and the restart button works normally.
Other issues that may be part of the same problem: I've received the "You need to restart your computer" warning in 4 languages about 3 times. when trying to Force Quit a System 9 Application it did a restart instead. LOL Icons in the dock will appear corrupted with see thru areas in them right before a freeze. I cannot not run Disk Utility to check for problems; it freezes immediately.
Other Information: I haven't had time to load most of my programs, I have no special fonts loaded yet (I'm a graphic designer), I'm using Verizon DSL for internet (but problems were present well before I loaded that up).
In short, I have no idea what's doing this. It's like nothing I've ever encountered. The symptoms are so random that it's hard to tell the cause. But one thing is guarateed. It will freeze up sometime during use. Every time. The computer is lightning fast for it's age, and when it works, it works great, so I don't want to return it. I just want to fix whatever the bug is. Any help is greatly appreciated. Let me know if you need other information I may not have thought to give.

Did you check out the RAM? Screeching noises are not good, you might want to run the hardware test and also see if the HD is in good shape. In the end, you might be better off returning it and getting another one, there are lots out there.
You can probably get a more informed reply if you post to http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=888, which covers the CRT iMacs.
Good luck,

MSI Neo2 K8N Platinum - Freezing Issue during games

First off greetings to everyone on these forums...
I purchased the MSI Neo2 K8N Platinum motherboard from NewEgg back at the end of March to compliment the AMD 64 "Winchester" processor that I also purchased at that time to replace a slightly older AMD XP "Barton" system that was using the Abit NF7-S motherboard. For the past month I have been fighting an unusual and highly irritating issue that I have noticed during game play and have tried everything that I know of and more in an attempt to remedy this issue, but to no avail. This is the general background of the situation and now I will descibe in greater detail as to what this issue I am referring to is and the symptoms of this issue and some of the various methods used to remedy this issue.
The issue is that while play a game the system experiences a short 5-10 second freeze during the game randomly, but usually several times an hour. During this freezing the sound would loop and as suddenly as the freeze occurs it would cease and the game would continue on as if nothing happened. However, sometimes this would result in the system freezing outright after this short 5-10 second freeze... but it does not feel like a total system freeze, but rather a video freeze as the sound continues and I still have keyboard control... but this does require me to force a manual reboot of the machine itself. I have scowered the internet and various forums in an attempt to find what the issue was and use various methods to remedy this issue, but so far nothing has worked in my favor... but it does seem like this issue has been plaguing other users with the MSI Neo2 Platinum motherboard. Below are some of the methods that I have used in an attempt to solve this issue:
*Default Clock for CPU/Memory/GPU; Over/Under Clock for CPU/Memory/GPU
*Increased voltages to CPU VID, AGP, and Memory
*Disabled/Enabled AGP Fast Writes
*Increased AGP Aperture from 64MB to 512MB
*Enabled/Disabled ATI/nVidia Speedup option in BIOS
*Forced AGP clock lock to 66-67mhz
*Relaxed/Aggressive memory timings
*APIC enabled/disabled
*Gate A20 turbo/normal
*Disabled all unneeded onboard components (Realtek NIC, Sound, SATA)
*Disabled nVidia MAC and attempted to use 3Com Gigabit PCI card instead
*Swapped HDD Cables
*Tried PCI Sound Card (SB Audigy2 ZS Gamer) in PCI Slots 3/4
*Tried video drivers from 71.89 Official to 76.45 beta modified drivers
*Tried 5.10 official nForce drivers to remixed 7.02 nForce drivers (5.10 drivers uses 4.36 GART, higher drivers uses the 4.40 GART)
*Applied all the latest updates from Windows Update Website
*Reinstalled Operating System (Windows XP SP2) 5 different times clean with various settings (APIC on/off, etc...) and different drivers.
*Installed Audio Card (SB Audigy2 ZS Gamer) with older and the latest drivers available from Creative's website
*Replaced PSU (Previously was a Thermaltake 420watt PSU, 18A +12v) with a OCZ Modstream 520watt PSU (28A +12v)
*Video card is KNOWN working from previous build (AMD XP 3000, Abit NF7-S)
*Hard Drive is KNOWN working from previous build
*CD/DVD-ROM drive is kNOWN working from previous build
*Heat is not an issue... all components temperature is well below rated level, the only unknown is the chipset temperature (it has a active heatsink and seems to not be hot to the touch, applied AS5 to it anyway)
*Used latency tweak to the video card
*Used Rivatuner to force constant performance level
*Tweaked BIOS to force even clock rates and forced 1.4v to the GPU Core
*Used original GPU BIOS
*Used MSI Neo2 K8N Bios 1.4 - 1.8 and modified BIOS 1.8
*No background applications are running (not even antivirus)
*Used application to force maximum refresh rates for my monitor
*Memory passed MemTest86+ for over 24 hours
*System passed Prime95 and SuperPi for over 24 hours
*System seems stable in all non gaming related applications
*Checked through various troubleshooting procedures
*Disabled SBDRVDET.EXE using MSCONFIG
*There are no IRQ conflicts outside of PCI system management sharing IRQ11 with the NIC and USB... in APIC there are no IRQ conflicts what so ever. Regardless neither method worked
*Installed AMD 64 drivers from AMD
*Disabled DEP in boot.ini
*...and many other various tweaks and modifications.

I have been fighting this issue for well over a month now and I am frankly nearly out of ideas, this does not necessarly prevent me from playing games, but this does interfere with the games I do play (especially online games). I do demand absolute stability from the games that I play and this issue only began AFTER I upgraded to the new motherboard, processor, and memory. The only thing I have not tried is something that I do not have access in attempting on this motherboard, and that is increasing the voltage to the chipset.
Here is my theory on what is going on is that I believe is there is a fault with the chipset on this motherboard and this is manifesting itself while I am playing various games on this system. Of course I would like to try increasing the voltage to the chipset as that would increase stability, but there is no option in BIOS to increase the chipset voltage like the previous motherboard I had (Abit NF7-S). It is possible that either a) the chipset is at fault and is causing me this issue or b) the chipset is not recieving enough voltage.
My question to the rest of you is this, what do you think the problem is and what ideas do you have that I may try that I have not tried yet. Additionally if there is nothing else that I may try should I attempt to RMA this motherboard and will that help, and is there any other versions of this motherboard that I should be aware of. I would appreciate any response from a MSI representative and any comments from those that may have positive suggestions for my issue. Thank you in advance for your time and any help that you may be able to render.

*EDIT* Added additional methods attempted... (there was a lot... so I did not remember everything that I have tried)

Does it only happen in online games, or can it happen in all games? One thing to make sure of is to turn off CRC checksum offload in your NVidia MAC properties (everyone do this, it is incorrectly calculating checksums which leads to servers ignoring your packets). However as you have tried a different network card you can discount this theory.
For me it looks like the biggest culrpit is your 6800NU, i have read alot of bad things about the NU and you have a low bios revision there, just because it worked well against your old chipset doesnt mean it will work well against your current chipset. Sounds like a BIOS fix is needed as some timing is out somewhere.
Ensure Spread Spectrum is off (and as you have already pointed out Fast writes, ATI NV Speedup) and your card is running at default clock.
As a test beg/borrow/steal another graphics card (preferably nvidia) and see how it goes so you can narrow in on your video card.
It is not just one game, but it is more prodominate in certain games than others... the game in question here is Planetside... though I stuck a demo of Unreal Tournament 2004 on a loop bot match and it seemed to have locked up after 4 hours (not sure how many times it experienced that 5-10 freeze as I went to bed). As for the video card it was KNOWN working from a previous build in those same games (Previous build was a AMDXP3000 and a Abit NF7-S nForce2 motherboard). The only components different in this build is the AMD64, the MSI Neo2 K8N, 2 new sticks of Corsair XMS to replace the Corsair ValueSelects, and the SB Audigy2 as I would never use a software codec audio solution. Spread Spectrum is LOCKED in BIOS and disabled... ATI/nVidia speed up was disabled from the start... and I tried the Video Card at default clock, over clocked, as well as under clocked and the same issue resulted... as I said before it is NOT the video card.
There are two other things I could try is use my old Geforce4ti 4200 and see what happens... or even try out WindowsXP 64-bit edition as someone earlier suggested. I wish I could find a new BIOS for my XFX 6800NU, but there there is only the revision 1 BIOS that I was able to find. The mystery continues...

I have a new iphone 5 and everytime I try to have a conversation there is this screeching noise that is driving me crazy. What is this?

I have a new iphone 5 and cannot get the bugs worked out. Is Iphone5 just a 'dud'? For starters, everytime I have a phone call, there is this loud screeching noise in the phone. Sometimes the other person can hear it and sometimes not. It is loud enough at times I just have to end the call. Also, this phone has problems with staying connected. Is the 4g that much different than the 3g? I have had a Iphone 4 for two years and loved it with no problems. This one has been a problem from day one. Get another one you say? Well, here's the kicker, I did. I sent the other one back because I am on ATT and they allowed me to send it back and get another one. The exact same problems as the first one. I don't know what to do. Any help would be appreciated.

Screeching noise?

I installed a firmware update on my mbp and when it was shutting down it made a screeching noise. It said it would restart on its own and it did but it took a couple minutes. Everything works fine. What's up with that screeching noise?

Hey @Mommymonster2 ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're experiencing a loud screeching noise on your new notebook.
Can you please tell me which notebook you have and the installed operating system? For information on finding your product and model numbers click here: How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number? To see which version of Windows you are using click here: Which Windows operating system am I running?
Can you tell me if the screeching is coming from the speakers (only happens when playing audio) or from inside the notebook? It's possible the screeching and skipping is the result of a read error or spike in the hard drive disc usage. From what I've read this sound to be the most likely source of the issue assuming the sound is not coming from the speakers.
Let me know the source of the sound and I should be able to help you fix this.

Screeching noise coming from headphones!!!

Ok, so there's a horrible screeching noise coming from my headphones! When the volume is low, no sound comes out at all. But when I turn it up, it's this high pitched screeching with faint music in the back ground. I've tried changing the EQ, changing the maximum volume level in settings, and turning off then back on. I also just updated the software today. Help!! Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks:)

Does this happen when using another set of headphones? Have you tried a hard reset?
How to reset iPod
If nothing else, do a full restore in iTunes. This process wipes all content from the device, resets all settings back to their defaults, and loads a fresh copy of the iPod's software onto the device. So if the issue is software related, a restore should clear it up.

S90 Static noise during video recording

Everytime I do video recording on my S90, I can hear static noise during playback.
Does anyone else face this problem? Is this hardware or software related?

Update the S90 via OTA
Once that is done then try again. If problem persist then open dialer and press ####1111#.
In engineering mode, select back mic test in Item test. This will record via back mic and will playback. If you still hear static during this time then bring it to the service center.

Qosmio X300-14C - Crash during games due to overheating of the GPU

Hi everybody. I recently by a Qosmio X300-14C (core 2 Quad Q9000,? 9700 GTS), and during games, the temperature of the GPU increase till 100 C and the game crash.
So I buy a USB cooler for my X300. Now, the temperature increase ?only? till 96 97C. And there is no crash.
I try to put the last bios, the last Toshiba GPU driver, the last nvidia GPU driver, the same.
When I start Vista, without any application, the temp increase till 65C. The fan increase his speed, so the temp goes to 55. The fan stop running faster, and the temp start to increase again.
During games, the fan made the same noise when the temp is 65C or 95C. So I think the problem is here. There is no increase of the fan speed for very high temp. So only 2 speed: under 65C and over, that?s all.
I install ntune, but the speed of the fan dont move at all. For the GPU I have 20.000 RPM per minute! Is that right?
Some people have the same probleme?
Thanks!
Esteban.

I have the same problem with my Qosmio X300 (PQX32E-04H02WGR). Anytime I'm playing games there is a blackscreen and a tuneloop.
I wrote a email to the toshiba-service in germany and they told me to make a new installation of windows, to install the new bios 2.1 and the new beta driver from nvidia. Even this all did not solve the problem.
So I ring up the german hotline and they told me that there is nothing more to do and that they don't know that problem. They sayed I could try playing the games in a reduced resolution and perhaps this could solve the problem!!!??? Yes... I buy a very expensive gamer-notebook to play with it in a reduced resolution - nice idear.
After I told them that I think it could be an overheating-problem they want to get the notebook to find it out on my own risk (I have to pay a service-charge if it is no overheating problem).
We will see...

You should have the speakers connected to #12 (Audio: Line Out port). Then, go into the Control Panel / Sound and check all of the settings. Make changes to see if it makes any difference. Be certain to remember what the settings were originally.
I had a similar problem with my Polk Audio speakers. I got the same sort of sound when they were set to digital output.

Screeching noise with facetime

I have a big issue with facetime lately. Every time when I start facetime with my wife on ipad, iphone or Mac, there is a loud screeching noise. It's uninterrupted and happens both with speaker or with earphone. Can anyone help me on this? Thanks!

Well, I finally found the culprit. It's because of my wife's cheap knockoff apple earphone. She bought it recently to replace her broken earphone. But for some reason, it made the noise that only I can hear over facetime. Once she removed her earphone, everything became normal.

Screeching noise and frozen screen!

Hi, I have a 15" 1.5 Ghz aluminum powerbook that I've had since Fall 2004. It has worked fine for me up until a couple weeks ago. At one point it wouldn't boot up and I would just get a question mark after the beginning apple screen, but that fixed itself after I ran FSCK and repaired the hard drive partition. The problem is that since then every week or so the computer will start emitting a screeching noise (lasting for about 1 second in about 3 second intervals) and then the display will be frozen. As in, I can still see all the applications and windows that were running on the screen at the time it froze, but I can't move the mouse and nothing responds to typing commands either. The noise seems to omit from the right side of the powerbook, almost as if its coming from the location right near the CD drive input / the bottom right part of the keyboard. If I close the powerbook at that point the light on the apple goes off and the screen goes dark but the white light on the front doesn't go on like it should and the noise continues to screech and the same intervals as before.
This has happened on 3 or 4 separate occasions now and I have managed to fix every time by restarting and booting in single user mode or running FSCK and then restarting again to where it powered up but its starting to happen more frequently now. I'm fairly certain it's not a hard drive issue because the FSCK says that the hard disk checks out fine every time. Could it be a ram issue or something... do i have to reset pram? Any help would be appreciated.
To me it sounds like a part of my computer might be dying but what I can't figure out.

Thanks to that Tuttle guy:
Format the external as Mac OS Extended.
Select the drive in Disk Utility (the uppermost icon related to the drive), then click the Erase button in the upper middle of the DU window. In the new pane, next to Volume Format, choose to format the drive as Mac OS Extended. You don't need to choose the option to journal the volume at this time.
When creating an initial clone, it's always safe practice to write zeros to the target drive. Click on the Security Options button, choose to write zeros to the drive and click Okay. Then click Erase. Writing zeros may take a couple of hours to do on a 300GB drive, but you just need to do it this once. Afterward, just clicking the Erase button will be sufficient unless bad blocks or similar problems develop in the future. Give the new volume a name that is distinct from the name of your PB's volume (i.e. not Macintosh HD1).
Once the drive is erased and formatted, repair permissions on the source drive, launch SuperDuper! or CCC, set the Source and Target volumes and clone.
One note: In CCC, make sure that the only option you select in CCC's preferences is "Make Bootable." If you use SuperDuper!, you don't have to worry about that (though it will ask you if you are sure that you want to erase the target volume. Choose Yes.)
When the clone is finished, select the new volume in System Preferences > Startup Disk and click Restart. When you've booted into the clone, immediately open System Preferences > Desktop & Screensaver and change the desktop picture so you know which volume you're booted from just by looking. Next, open Disk Utility and repair permissions on the cloned volume. After this, you can click on the Enable Journaling button in the Disk Utility toolbar at the top of the window.
After this, shut down your computer. After two minutes, start up your computer, pressing the Option key immediately after the startup chime. This will take you to the Startup Manager screen where you will choose the cloned volume to start from in order to test whether or not it is truly bootable. If it boots fine, go through it and test some apps to see if everything is in order. If all is well, choose the PB's drive in System Preferences > Startup Disk and restart. When you restart, remember to reselect the PB as the startup volume in System Pref's > Startup Disk as well.
