  • A215-7422 Audio Issue: High-pitched noise

    About 2 weeks ago, the audio would suddenly stop.  After restarting the laptop, it would work fine again.  This morning, however, the audio completely died.  Restarting it only gave me a low frequency click upon start up.  Updating the drivers and the system only made the laptop give off a high-pitched noise through the speakers that persists through turning the volumn down/off and plugging in headphones, on top of which it continues not to play an audio.

    A quick update if it helps: I went in a disabled "High Definition Audio Device" and the high pitched noise from the speakers stopped.  Not sure if that helps anyone.

  • Satellite U500 - High pitched noise

    Hi,
    I have a Toshiba Satellite U500 and the system itself seems to be working perfectly well. About a month ago, my laptop began to make a noise, an unbearable constant high pitched noise. The only time that the noise stops is when the laptop is off and for a very brief period when windows starts up.
    The noise seems to come from the speakers, but it continues whether I mute the speakers or not*.

    Hi
    > How to disconnect HDD to check what you suggest.
    You can only remove it from the HDD bay the HDD bay is placed at the bottom of the unit and you have to remove the screw which secures the HDD bay cover.
    Then you could remove the HDD carefully
    But without HDD you are not able to boot into windows and as you already said you have discovered the issue. It seems to come from the speakers and its related to sound card.
    Maybe you should update the sound card driver and BIOS
    Otherwisce try to get in contact with an local ASP!!!

  • Portege R700 - high pitched noise

    I get a high pitched noise from my Portege R700-11P. The noise is in the upper range of audible sound (maybe around 15'000 Hz) and is periodically increasing and decreasing at a frequency of about 0.5 Hz. It is always there if the laptop is plugged in to the power source and is sleeping, it is sometimes there if the laptop is plugged in and running, and it immediately vanishes if I plug it off. The noise seems to come from the upper left corner of the laptop. It is not very loud, but clearly audible and quite annoying after some time. Anyone knows the reason for this noise and any possibility to get rid of it?
    Thanks, Martin

    Kojak45, no, I did not solve it, and I am not sure the latest developments will be reassuring for you: after a few months, the laptop sometimes started not waking up from hibernation anymore until it finally completely died. Luckily it was still under warranty, so it was now replaced with a new one. The new one also makes the high pitched noise, but this time only when it is running and plugged in.
    Cheers, Martin

  • Satellite S1800-921: USB - high pitch noise appears

    Hi,
    I have a Toshiba Satellite S1800-921 Notebook.
    Everytime I plug a device in any of the USB ports this high pitch noise appears.
    Then when I unplug a USB device the noise disappears.
    The noise comes from the back of the laptop where the USB ports are. The noise is very annoying since it's high pitch.
    I've disabled the Ali PCI to USB Host Controller device through Device Manager in Windows XP and that seems to stop the noise but then I can't use any USB devices.
    Has anyone come across this problem before and does anyone know a solution?
    Any information would be most appreciated.
    Many Thanks,
    Andrew

    Hi Jimi,
    Thank you for your advice.
    I am on Windows XP Service Pack 2 and I'm up-to-date with all my Windows Update Downloads. So the update you recommended is already on my computer. Sorry but the noise is still here!
    Thank you for trying though, I appreciate it.
    Just to clarify about this "noise". It's high pitch in tone but not particularly loud. Again it only appears when I plug something into a USB Port.
    Though when the printer is plugged in it's OK until I put the power switch on the printer and then the noise re-appears.
    When the computer is processing something (like opening a MS Word Document or opening a website window) then the noise subsides. But when the computer is idle then the noise reappears again. This drives me nuts because the noise is not only very annoying but it comes on and off continously as I use my computer!
    Also, when the noise appears and I'm dial-up onto the internet then there is this interference noise coming through the notebook's loudspeakers.
    Anyone got any idea how I could rectify this problem?
    Many thanks,
    Andrew

  • X220 high pitched noise?

    I just recently got my X220 and I'm very happy except for the fact that it is really noisy. I don't have an issue with the fan revving up and down or pulsing. Fan speed is at sub 2000 rpm. Still I have a high pitched noise coming from the top right corner of the laptop...or atleast from the right area. Is that the placement of the fan?

    @nicbex
    Regarding to your question about WWAN card...
    It seems you've tried supported cards as in other case your laptop should stop with error 1802 (of course, if drivers have been installed). So, perhaps you havn't installed card drivers and software correctly.
    The first step for problem resolving is to look at the device manager and check are there any items with "!" or "?". Then look at all items in "device by connection" mode (sorry if I've translated it incorrectly from my language). Find PCI Bus - Generic USB Hub, look at your wwan card's item and open it. In depence of card model you should see some different items.
    Also be assured you fit sim card correctly.
    Next steps depend of your first results.

  • High pitch noise in CS4 and CS5.5

    Hello.
    Firstly I want to say that yes I know people have asked this question before but as far as I can tell none of them have been solved. Some have somewhat useful answers but none of them truely solve the problem. This thread in particular probably has the most information about the problem I'm having http://forums.adobe.com/message/4298535#4298535
    I recently tried Premiere Pro CS5.5 and CS4 (trial version) to replace my Corel Video Studio X6 which tried to replace Windows Movie Maker. Video Studio and Movie Maker both crash whenever I imported large video files.
    Anyway I'm getting a problem where the video files I import to Premiere Pro CS4 and CS5.5 have a high pitch noise in the video preview.
    It's a high pitch noise almost like it's getting feedback from something. Also when someone is supposed to be talking there's a very low distortion, like the audio started playing in very slow motion but the high pitch noise is still present.
    I'll put a link at the end with the video file that's giving me trouble.
    The video and audio are in a single AVI file. The video format is H264 shot at 60fps and the audio should be Mpeg-1 L2, 48khz at 320kbps. I don't know if the video's audio is in 24bit or 16bit.
    I've tried different settings for premiere. Trying 60fps and 30fps for the framerate for the project. Trying 44khz and 32khz and 96khz didn't fix it. Using the "Desktop" preset in CS4 and Custom for CS5.5.
    My audio hardware is a Logitech G930. It's a wireless USB headset with microphone. My motherboard audio is Realtek HD Audio. Both are enabled but I only use the headset now and nothing is being sent to the Realtek audio chip (according to Windows' sound options). The headset plays audio at 16bit 48khz.
    The video file plays fine in every media program I own that can play the h264 codec. With the exception of Movie Maker and Video Studio x6. Video Studio will preview the video and audio just fine but when I try and skip around the program hangs and crashes. Movie Maker just plain crashes when I try and import the video. Some of the programs that can play the video are VLC, Media Player 11, and Media Player Classic.
    I'm not sure if Final Cut Pro has the same problem. I don't have a Mac so I can't test it.
    Here's a sample video that works the way it should. I pulled a BIK file from a game and converted it to H264 in AVI. Not sure what it's audio format is.

    Just click the download button at the top right.
    Here's an afflicted file. Not the exact specific file I have been talking about, but it has the same codecs. This one is shorter in length and smaller in size. It still has the high pitch noise, but since there is no one talking in this you don't hear the weird low pitch distortions.

    If there's anymore infor you need let me know.
    Thanks.

  • Since Yosemite upgrade, high pitch noise creating case vibration on MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009) (on watching the keynote online)

    Hi,
    Great work on Yosemite, great new design as well.
    Several problems since the Yosemite upgrade though :
        - When playing high pitch noise (watching the keynote for example), the speakers make the case around it vibrate. This was not happening under Mavericks and previous OSXs.
        - This page (post editing) does not allow the right click (works everywhere else as far as I'm aware).
        - when changing the volume, I have now the noise feedback when clicking on shift+volume up/down and no sound when clicking on volume up/down on my keyboard (was the inverse before).
        - The keyboard light was stuck in off, had to restart the computer.
    More general problems (covering the last OSX since introduction of 10.9) :
        - lack of possibility of choosing for a 3x3 set of desktops as it was before (the new mission control only allow us to have a horizontal set of several desktops)
        - Notifications cannot be turned off automatically when being in full screen. (only options for auto turn off given are "display is sleeping" oO and when "mirroring on another display" -> meh, would have prefer when having an app in full screen)
    System :
    MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009)
    Model Identifier: MacBookPro5,3
    Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
    Memory: 8 GB
    Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz
    Boot ROM Version: MBP53.00AC.B03
    SMC Version (system): 1.48f2

    Thanks for your lengthy reminder dude, I have a similar Mac with yours. I suspect its a software fault because it happens after I upgraded to Lion, 10.7.2.

  • On my iphone 4s I got a scratch on it,then about a month later there are verticle lines and a high pitch noise til it is done focusing. What's wrong with my phone?

    Hello
    Okay so I have had my Iphone for almost an entire year and there's a problem. I have gotten a scratch a scratch about a month ago on the back camera. It's at the very bottom. I've gotten used to it so it doesn't bother me. Well ever since like a week ago my camera gets colorful lines that are verticle and go away when it's focused. Not to mention the high pitch noise while it focuses with the lines. I'm getting irritated with it. Mainly what's is wrong with my phone?! Also how much is the cost?

    Since we can't examine your phone, we really have no idea what is wrong.  Why don't you make an appointment at your local Genius Bar and get the phone examined and what your options are moving forward.

  • Logic 7 audio playing high pitched noise

    Hi Discussion Group.
    I am having some major difficulties with LP7.0.1 (downgraded frrom 7.2.2 and was working fine with 7.2.2) and the motu 828 mkII that just crept up on his system today.
    An audible high pitched noise when playing logic after initially starting 10 seconds after first play. Also after stopping playback the high pitched sound lingers.
    Logic complains of sync problems between audio and MIDI.
    All music is heard fine with iTunes. there is no other audio software playing at the time of logic playback.
    Nothing has changed on his system to create this. before today everything was working fine. We removed everything from the firewire bus and only the MOTU is present.
    playing logic fine out the built-in audio just fine.
    Changing the clock mode to autosync does not help and iTunes stops working. internal works fine. Also setting the I/O buffer size to 32, 64, 128, 256, and 512 and relaunching the driver each time did not help.
    no MIDI card
    Here are screen shots of his MOTU control panel and Logic Audio Drivers preferences
    http://www.enabled.com/~noah/MOTU/
    Any clues on what else to try? I am at a loss here.
    cheers,
    Noah

    I've heard of weird things like this happening to 828's before.
    There is a reset procedure, either in the manual or on the Motu website - try running that and seeing whether it fixes it.

  • EMac high pitched noise

    Hi. I have a 1GHZ eMac G4 that I got second hand several months ago. Recently, I've noticed that there is a high pitch noise that it makes when I first turn it on or wake it from sleep. This noise only lasts for a minute or so, but it is very high in pitch. I don't think it is the hard drive because I know what a failing hard drive sounds like, but I can't be sure. Could it possibly be a capacitor problem? Does anyone know of this issue and how I could get it resolved? Thanks.

  • ITunes high pitch noise when in full screen on 27" iMac11,1

    Hello,
    When running iTunes 10.5.1 in full screen mode on Lion 10.7.2, I get a faint, high pitch noise coming from my speakers.  If I run iTunes in a refular window, the noise does not manifest itself.  I can switch back and forth between one full screen app and iTunes, and the noise goes on and off and only manifests itself in iTunes.
    Has anyone else experienced this?

    I think I've found a workaround.  The problem doesn't only happen in iTunes, but also in the Finder's list view when in full screen.
    The workaround is to use Shades, a small utility that creates a uniform black color mask over my screen.  All I had to do was set the brightness of my screen to 100%, run shades and lower the "brightness" using that utility to something comfortable for my eyes.
    I think the issue comes from the high frequency flicker that the LED back light uses when the screen is being dimmed.  For some reason, the speakers pick up on it when in list view... Why only list view?  Beats me.
    Anyway, the Shades prefpane can be downloaded from the following URL:

    I hope this helps.
    All the best!

  • To Apple Engineer. I hear a high pitch noise when surf flash-intesive sites

    Hi. All.
    I have a Aluminum PowerBook G4 1.25Ghz SD. I agree this is a great machine. It has a somewhat out-dated G4 Chip in it, I can do almost everything I need.
    I've been using this powerbook for 2 years. Since sometime ago, I've heard very annoying "Hige Pitch Noise" from PowerBook. From further investigatin I found that this was a problem related to G4 CPU Processor throttling- so called "NAP" status. In Flash-intensive Web site, I clearly hear the noise.
    According to solution suggested by talented apple user, I did followings.
    1. Download or Install Developer Tools.
    2. Download and Install CHUD tools from ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/ToolC...ormancetools/
    3. After installing chud tools, there maybe Processor pane in preference app.
    4. In that processor pane, you should uncheck "Allow Nap" to reduce the notorius High Pitch Noise.(warning: it may increase the power consumption and temperature of CPU a bit, and of course you would see more frequent activities of CPU fan than before)
    5. feel the silence.
    To Apple.
    I think this solution should be suggested from you not users.
    Why we investigate, search the web for thosand of bucks PowerBook. Please fix this annoying(yes, annoying enough to cause headache) problem in next OS update.
    To readers.
    Sorry to my poor English(I live in Seoul, Korea)
