Hissing in speakers

I have a Elite Pro with the console thing, and I get a hissing sound out of my speakers. I have isolated the problem to be the connection to the console and the card with the DA_link cable. When I use the din controller that came with the speakers there is no hissing and the sound quality is pretty good. I emailed tech support and they said I'm out of their service because it is more than a year old. For speakers I am using the inspire p7800. Also this is not a recent problem it has been a problem since day one I just never cared enough to do anything about it.

Same problem with the same machine. I have found out how to make it go away, although it shouldn't work like this. It seems that the B520 has too much going on with the audio, between Windows 7, SRS Premium Sound, Lenovo HD Audio Manager, and the touch capacitive controls on the monitor itself.
I've found that I only get the hissing when the touch volume (lower right corner by touching the [/] symbol, then touch the up/down speaker icons) is at 2 bars or less. As soon as you increase it to 3 or higher, the hissing goes away. Very strange. I haven't done much homework on it, but I have a feeling there are just too many volume controls and there is some sort of conflict somewhere.
Hope this helps.

Hissing in speakers on brand new B520

Hi
Can anyone help me this is driving me nuts!! I took delivery of a new B520 today. It was all set up fine and working OK. Then I went to change the annoying screensaver, and when I clicked "apply" the machine suddenly rebooted itself. When it came back up there is an annoying hissing constantly coming from the speakers. It is still there even if I mute the speakers. I have muted the mic too, as suggested on some other forums. The drivers are all up to date.
The hissing only stops when the machine is shut down. Other audio playback appears normal, albeit wih the hissing continuing.
Anyone heard of this problem before?
Thanks
Solved!

Creative MegaWorks thx 2.1 250D probs

Hi everyone.... I got these set of speakers through the post today, and they look the buisness....problem is that i cant get them to work with my pc.....i connected the speakers to an old walkman, and the sounds coming through, so the speaks must be ok. And my pc works ok with my old set of speakers. do these set of speakers need a sound card or something? Im trying to run them off the integrated sound on my asus a7n8x-e deluxe motherboard.......any suggestions...

MrHenderson , hissing from speakers is coming only when they are turned ON and no matter how u set volume , bass , treble or push MUTE button hissing is always there with the same intensity.When i connect headphones to speakers remote control hiss is gone (in headphones).Also i connect each individual satellite speaker to portable CD player and there`s no sign of a hiss , just like it`s supposed to be. I agree that "normal" hissing is presented in every audio system but u can hear it only when your ear is very close to speaker.Hissing coming from MegaWorks i can hear from 10 meters , now imagine sitting in front of a computer.Like i said , my first set of MegaWorks didn`t have that hissing at all , just normal hiss which u can`t hear sitting in front of a computer.First set was OK (until they burned) and i paid for them 290$ , when i get replacement for new set price was 90$!That is quite significant price drop which leads me to conclusion that CREATIVE start using cheaper meterials and components for building MegaWorks 250D. I think the first series of MegaWorks 250D was better quality.Harvey got a second set with the same hissing problem , that just confirms it. Harvey, i agree with everything you said. MrHenderson i agree about that running-in but i think this is reserved for Hi-Fi systems over .1000$ price.My first MegaWorks 250D sounded the same from the first day.Sometimes i was listening music with volume set to MAX and didn`t have any problems. I was always cautioned to not add to much bass which will cause distortion because we all now how loud this speakers can play.After 0- months of use they burned out. But when it comes to for some reason amplifier overload or overheating souldnt the amplifier have some kinda overload-overheating protection?
Now , all i need is another replacement with new set of MegaWorks 250D with the same hissing problem like Harvey!

Audio Out hissing interference from speakers when connecting VGA/DVI lead

Hi
If I connect my mac air to an amp with speakers via an audio out lead then I get great sound. As soon as I additionaly connect the Mac Air to my LCD TV via the VGA or DVI cables I get this annoying hissing sound that gets louder if I turn the volume up.
I have swapped my audio lead for another but still the same problem.
I used to use the same audio/video leads with an old laptop and had no problems. I assume that the issue is due to the fact that the audio and video connector on the Mac Air are very close to eachother.
Has anyone else had a similer issue or can suggest any alternatives or resolutions? Many thanks.

Thanks for the pointer. Unfortunately it didn't work for me either. I guessed from your original post and got the Monster® iCableLink™ Headphone Adapter for iPhone™ cable. It appears to be a 3.5mm to 3.5mm adapter, which seems odd.
However it doesn't stop the buzzing. What I found did help a bit was to turn the volume on the mac all the way to the top and adjust the volume on the amp to listening volume. That kept the buzzing fairly tame at normal listening volumes.
Any other suggestions would be great.

Speakers Hiss when Mic is not muted

#Speakers Hiss when Mic is not mutedi WinXP Pro SP3
Drivers 6.00.000.368
First problem
I have a Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatalty Pro card and 7. speakers and I just noticed that the speakers will hiss when the Mic is not muted, if I mute the mic, than the hiss will go away, but soon as I unmute it, hiss is back.
Second problem
I been trying to get my mic working, I have a simple plug in play mic and it is plugged directly into the Mic plug at the back of the Sound card but I have to rise my voice very loud or tap the Mic for it to pick up any audio and even than, the sound output from me speaking or tabbing is very low.
Mic Volume is turned to max, boost is on, I've checked every option for Sound and the Mic and everything is set correctly, when I had Vista installed, the Mic worked without any problems.
I'm at a lost on what to do, I have re-installed the drivers many times to try to fix the issue, my only solution is to use my X-Fi Go and use headphones through them, but I lose all the benafits of having 7. sound when playing games.

Hi..yeah..can anyone help on this please..
im also experiencing the same problem..ive also tried realtek R249..
thanks...

Hiss noise from iPad2 speakers when launching an app that uses the speakers

A couple of months ago I bought an iPad2 Wi-Fi. It was working fine until yesterday that it started making a hiss noise every time an app that uses the speakers was launched, for example when the keyboard clicks sound is enabled it will make noise while typing (this is somehow annoying). Is this a known issue?
Is this a hardware defect or can it be fixed with a software upgrade?
Thanks.

i have the same problem: ipad2 makes noise every time when plays sound (music, video, games, typing)
i'm sure that problem is hardware..
the noise exists only with speaker: if i connect headphones noise disappears

Hiss from the speakers?

Hi everyone. I have this new penryn 15" mbp, and i deeply love it!
But I hear a very high pitched hiss coming from the speakers (i think) whenever i am about to hear some noise from the notebook.
for example when i turn on or off the volume, i hear the volume quack and then the hiss starts, and goes away after about 20 seconds. or when i play some song in itunes, it starts immediately and persists while the song is playing.
if i plug some external speaker jack in the headphones port, the hiss coming from the internal speakers stops immediately and i don't think there is any hiss coming from the external speakers, but it might be because they are not very high quality.
This hiss is very high pitched but the volume pretty low so my mother can't even hear it. But i definitely hear it (and i swear i'm not a dog ) and it gives me such a strong headache that i must plug something in the headphones port to make it stop.
And there is a funny thing too.
I used skype perfectly since i received the macbook (one week).
Yesterday, i was using internal speakers, and while i was able to hear every sound, i couldn't hear the caller's voice.
of course i thought it was a caller's problem.. but it wasn't.
When i plugged my external speakers the voice came out!
internal speakers: sounds yes / voice no
external speakers: sounds yes / voice yes
Do you think the hiss problem is related with this "missing voice" issue?
Have you experienced something similar?
Do you think i should bring my macbook to assistance?
Thank you (and sorry for my english, i hope you can understand me anyway)

Hiss in MacBook Pro Speakers

I have a MacBook Pro that has been giving an intermittent quick hiss (1 second or less) throughout the day. Obviously, the sound has to be on for the hiss to happen, but I have not found any pattern to the hissing.
I have sent the MacBook to AppleCare and they have replaced the speakers...twice, but the hiss is still happening after getting it back yesterday.
Does anyone have any ideas about what is causing it or other troubleshooting measures I can do?

I have this exact same problem and it's been driving me crazy for weeks! It's such a short tisk sound of static but is equal to the annoyance of dragging nails down a chalkboard. It will do it intermittently but never ceases to stop.. that is until I read your comment about Outlook. Then I remembered that it hasn't always been making this noise and I only recently installed Outlook. I closed Outlook and didn't hear the sound. I opened Outlook and within seconds after hearing the initial welcome sound, the "tisking" was back. Though I only tested it for 30 seconds before returning to iTunes.. I'm pretty sure Outlook is the problem. It sounds as if it makes the sound every time it checks the server for new mail.. or something of that nature. I can't say it's doing it on all macs because I have a late 2009 MacBook Pro at work and have Outlook open all day. Never heard the sound on it.
Still, a bit of relief that it's not my sound card or something serious. Hope Apple or Microsoft comes out with a fix.. I'm going to assume this is Microsoft's fault, though.

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.

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.]

Hissing noise from the bottom speakers after any sound

Like the title i recived my new iphone 5 yesterday and I find suddenly this problem. After any sounds like lock or any music or something else, a hissing noise start for 5-7 seconds. Is that a hardware problem?
Thanks

hi sailor,
contacted apple phone support, unfortunately apple care number is not free in australia.
first time it took 17min and was not able to contact a technician coz credits in my mobile ran out.
second time it took 25min. i explained all the issues
told them i reset the pram, smc and reinstalled the OS and still i hear the hissing noise.
they replied that speakers may make a hissing noise if the macbook is on battery, but the noise should be very low and it should not be audible, if the noise is audible and loud, they suspect its a hardware failure, i got my case id and will be taking it to the nearest service center here, for them to have a look.
so if u have a macbook that is under warranty dont hesitate to contact them. i guess even refurbished macbooks bought in online store also have a 1yr warranty.

Hissing noise from the speakers

hi mates,
i hear a hissing sound from the internal speakers whenever the system tries to play sound through the internal speaker, be it a system sound or playing my music, or just by opening a application that may play music, i get this hissing sound before a system sound and this hissing noise continues for some time after the sounds are stopped playing, i get this hissing noise even when i change volume of the speakers. i dont get it through the headphones. the strange thing is i get this hissing noise even if i play a movie when my speakers are muted.
i went through this forum, some members have adviced to reset the pram, smc, reinstall the os, friends i tried all these but still i continue with this problem.
my macbook is brand new and just a week old.
i am really worried about this problem.

Hissing/fizzling sound from speakers at bootup.

Ever since on night a few months ago, for NO apparent reason, my laptop speakers have been makign a fizzling/hissing sound on bootup.
1. This sound only occurs during the HP boot splash for Fast Startup and Normal Startup (incl. restart).
2. This sound MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH BIOS because it is continuous when I am in the BIOS menu.
3. This sound does not occur when I have headphones plugged in, and NOTE it does not play through the headphones either.
4. Muting/unmuting and various volume settings do not affect this sound.
5. I have already reinstalled/updated both the BIOS and all the sound drivers, to no avail.
6. Thank you for whoever helps me to successfully fix this.
7. It is annoying.

My new speakers make the most annoying hissing noise!

I have just purchased a set of creative megaworks 250d, now having owned an older set of speakers from creative in the past (dt surround system) i had expected the same good quality sound and craftsmanship.
What did i get? The most annoying hissing sound in the world!
I switch my system on and it gives out an audible hiss which can be heard upto 5-10meters away, this is completely ridiculous and pretty much ruins any sound which isnt played at a loud level!
Ive contacted creative customer support who told me to return my product? well, fat use that is when i got my system from ebay and apparently the entire range does the same thing anyway?
Please no comments about how my system is setup wrong and whether i have power interference, because just to check this i've been to maplins today to buy a power conditioner/filter (which cost me ?100 i may add) and a ground loop isolator, neither of these made any difference at all, still the digital snake invades my ears every time i turn the system on.
Now i dont know what your trying to pull down at creative labs, but i can guarantee you wont be staying in the market lead making 'high quality computer audio products' that are by design defective. I want a valid solution to my problem please, i see 100 other threads on the internet concerning the same thing and quite frankly its not good enough. How much would it have cost you to install a pass filter inline to the amplifier to reduce this hiss? or is there one and its broken? is it the remote like some people are suggesting?

*BUMP* Any solution would be good? im fairly adept with electronics so dont mind taking the unit apart if a technician would like to tell me how to fix this hiss. Would a low pass filter on the speaker line be a good solution or maybe ferrite coils on the positve wire?, would either of those work before i go out and spend yet more money?
