Hissing sound from right speaker

I've read through the threads about processor and hard disk hiss. I don't think this is that same issue. When I boot under AC or battery, I get a 5 second hissing from the right speaker. As soon as the desktop comes up, the hissing stops. If I am on AC, that's the last time I hear it, but on battery, I get the hissing noise any time something makes a sound (Adium, iTunes playing an MP3 or a CD, etc.) Is this a driver problem or hardware?

I called SmallDog tech support; John had me do a PRAM reset, as well as a power management reset (remove battery and AC, hold down power button for 10 seconds.) Problem remains. Booted to XP, hiss came up during XP logo, but now it won't boot to Windows (might have something to do with the reset.) Told me to remove the additional RAM I had added when I bought it, still hisses on boot. Next step I guess is taking it to SmallDog for repair.

No sound from right speaker on Pavilion g6-1353ea after installing Windows 8

I've had no sound from right speaker on my HP Pavilion g6-1353ea after installing Windows 8. I've checked all drivers, and have done the sound test in sound properties (left speaker beeps fine, but then nothing from the right). Anyone else having this problem/found a solution?!

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp59001-59500/sp59154.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio in both speakers.
Regards,
DP-K

2011 MBP 17" 2.3 GHz - High pitch hissing sound from left speaker

When I transfer large amounts of data (wifi and ethernet) I get a high pitch hissing sound from the left speaker. When the transfer is done, the hissing stops.
Is anyone else experiencing this and is there anything I can do to stop it?
When it occurred: I was transferring data from my old MBP to my new 2011 MBP first via WiFi, then by Ethernet (much faster . My old (2007) MBP had not hissing what so ever, by my new MBP was rather loud. I'm very happy it's only when using the network.

I get this sound every time I download, WiFi or Ethernet it dosen't matter the sound is the same. I can't guarantee that it's from the speaker, I have an old Netgear switch that sounds the same when I use it (just to clarify: I'm not using that switch anymore or ever have with this MBP)
So it could be some electrical sound (I'm not a hardware engineer) just a guess.

Crackling sound from right speaker - Envy 14 Beats edition

The right speaker on my Envy 14 Beats edition has a crackling/static sound when playing any sort of sound from it. I assumed it was a faulty speaker since its just the right speaker.. I've talked to HP support and they had me send it in.
After two weeks I got it back only to find that they simply changed some audio configurations in an attempt to fix it. Nothing has changed and the problem still exists.
Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if there is some sort of fix for this without me having to send it back to them to replace the speaker.

Hello tedebare73. I understand your notebook is making a weird sound from the left speaker.
Are there any other electronic devices (guitar amplifiers, cell phones, speakers) around the notebook? These can all cause very strange noises.
Try hard resetting the notebook as well. Here are the steps.
Shut down the notebook.
Remove the battery and AC power.
Press and hold the power button for 10-15 seconds three times.
Replace the battery and AC power.
Verify whether the problem persists.
Finally, if neither of the above have an effect try removing and reinstalling the driver. Here are instructions.
Go to your Device Manager.
Expand the "Sound, video, and game controllers" section.
Right click on your audio device and select "Uninstall."
Reboot the notebook. Windows will automatically reinstall the driver.
Verify whether the problem persists.
Let me know the results. Have a wonderful day!
Please click the white star under my name to give me Kudos as a way to say "Thanks!"

17 inch late 2011 MBP with no sound from right speaker (Help)

Hello community,
I purchased a new MBP 17inch model and noticed sound only comes from one speaker. I've checked the system preferences and moved the balance 100% to the right and no sound at all. I don't believe this is normal, but before I make a case I wanted to speak with the community first. All responses are appreciated Thank you.

Before you take it in, try resetting Pram.

and SMC if that didn't work.

Popping sound from right speaker only of imac

I recently bought a (refurbished) September 2013 model imac 21.5". Looks great, but only one problem when I play any audio/ video, streamed or local, there come a clicking and popping sound from the right side only. Sounds like fireworks from a distance. No such noise through headphone. I tried all solutions suggested on different forums. No success. Can someone out there help, before I decide to take it to the apple store or return it?

No Sound From Center Speaker [Win 7]

$No Sound From Center Speaker [Win 7]? Hi,
I downloaded the Darkest of Days demo and noticed that the speech volume was very low if i positioned it center of the camera. But if i positioned it on the left or right of the camera, the speech volume would increase. I found it strange.
I closed the game. And ran my speakers through window's speaker test. Every speaker responded with a sound. Unconvinced, i opened a few songs. That's when i noticed the center speaker wasn't producing a sound. Even on 5. content (movies & music) the center speaker wouldn't work.
**bleep**, no wonder those AC3 movies had low speech and i had to manually boost the speech volume. I noticed the low sound in games before too...but i attributed it to the 5. surround thing. Guess i was wrong!

TS1630 Hi I have a problem with my iPhone 4S, I have no sound from my speaker ,keyboard or notifications , and my volume control buttons are not working is anyone experiencing this? Any help would be great full, also I have reset the iPhone many times.

Hi I have a problem with my iPhone 4S I have no sound from my speaker , keyboard, notifications. or volume controls, I have reset my iphone many times and still the same, any advise will be greatful
Thanks

I don't think that a software update from Apple will solve the issues that you are having. You have a rogue installation. After you posted I have just done the following:
Disk Utility can verify my partitioned Volume (including my boot disk) AND REPAIR the non-boot disks on the same Volume without a glitch. It repairs the non-boot disks containing data smoothly.
I have used Mail to send some mails from some Yahoo and Hotmail accounts to my Thunderbird client containing GMail accounts - absolutely normal.
I have iLife '09 but my iMovie '09 and iPhoto '09 open in a jiffy and I see no issues here. I have 6GB RAM (Maximum) on an early 2008 Macbook Pro with a 750GB hard drive partitioned with 120GB reserved for the Boot Drive.
I am sorry that I cannot help further but I am sure there must be a way to reinstall the software without having to revert to restoring your ML backup. I have two clones and if you have such I would attempt to do that through that rather than through Time Machine - that is of course if you have a cloned drive.
Good luck!

Set the system alert to a completely different LOUD sound, like the train whistle. If the beep persists, it ain't the Mac.

High pitch hissing sound from 970A-G46 motherboard with AMD FX 8 core processor

I am getting high pitch hissing sound from 970A-G46 motherboard with AMD FX 8 core processor.
Sound is coming from some place near CPU area.
I tried changing Core C 6 State in BIOS from Enabled to Disabled to fix this issue.
I also followed steps in following link, w w w . tomshardware.com/forum/292915-30-high-pitched-noise-coming-area
No luck with above changes.
I heard this is a common problem with MSI motherboards. Is there any fix for this issue.

Quote from: flobelix on 12-January-13, 18:49:48
That is surely no typical problem of MSI mainboards. In fact that is very rare if it is the board.
Tke the board out of case on a non conductive surface with nothing else connected but but mainboard, ram, psu, cpu and vga. Try it again after clearing CMOS (>>Clear CMOS Guide<<)
If you are then 100% sure that it is the board this could be a defect as MSI mainbaords normally don't cause coil whine and I haven't heard that about 970A-G46 so far
I tried clearing CMOS by replacing jumper and loading factory defaults. Still high pitch sound is coming intermittently. As my 30 day period is over with Frys Electronics, How easy to get a replacement board from MSI. Does anyone know the steps?

Sound from the speaker iPhone 4S 5.1.1. disappeared!?

About one hour ago I lost the sound from the speaker iPhone 4S 5.1.1. Lost in the middle of a conversation with a friend whom I put on speakerfon, first started to choking and after that sound is disappeared, and than appears in the fraction of a second and after is completely gone. On two occasions it choking when I put some videos and that's all. There is no sound even when someone call me, only vibrates. Note that phone was never dropped, as a new one, and I got it from July last year. Headphones works normaly. Any help without service?

Try This...

No sound from the speaker and missing speaker device listed with Window 7

I have Window 7 and with SB X-Fi card installed for a long time now but yesterday, there is no sound from the speaker which connected to the normal speaker output of the card. I check the output device and the specker device is missing. I tried to run the software but it says no device.

Take it to your local Apple Store along with US$149 for a replacement.

Audigy 1 PCI card, only have sound from right side speak

hi guys and gals, I'm thinking my audigy has finally kicked the bucket as i only get sound from of the two side channels, its not a cable or speaker issue, and can find no loose connection or burn through on the card, anyone had this problem is there some simple fix or should i just buy a new card :P
Cheers
Raiden

Wow, so after testing it in linux and not working, i thought to myself definitely something in the connections.
So I look at the sub/rear/front connectors and decide to just disconnect and reconnect them. Surely, enough the rear connector on the soundcard wasn't in all the way hence the only rear speaker working.
Well after spending a day on this and finding the very simple fix all i can say is DOH
