Humming when using audio jacks

I purchased my (HP 110-023 Desktop) last August. When I hook it up to my receiver (3.5mm to RCA Cable) I am getting a noisy hum coming through my speakers. These are the steps that I have already tried:1) Cable (hooked up multilpe other items such as an ipod, etc.) with no noise coming through speakers until hooked back up to PC.2) Tried plugging PC into multiple different outlets (In case it is a ground problem) with no success.3) Run new ground wire from back of receiver with no success.4) used new audio cable with no success.5) In the last month I have sent it to HP to get it repaired. They put in a new soundcard, etc. (SAME ANNOYING PROBLEM).I hope someone can help me.

When I plug in headphones or use audio jack only one speaker works.

I have an iphone 4g. When I plug in headphones only one side works. When I plug into my car audio jack...only one car speaker works.

There is only one speaker, the other side is the microphone.

Click/Tick/Hiss sound before audio comes on when using headphone jack.

This started happening yesterday on my 1.5 week old macbook. Whenever an audio source comes through after a period of silence, say on IM without any music from iTunes playing or when you just start playing a song in iTunes, there is a short but very distinct ticking sound that happens before the audio is played. At first I ignored it but after a while, it got really annoying; especially when you're typing in an IM conversation and the tick happens on every send and reply. Is anyone else having this problem? Should I call up applecare/visit my local apple retail store?
It happens on both battery and AC. I've already tried resetting the PMU. I don't think it happens when using the macbook speakers, but I can't say for certain since the freqeuency response on them are pretty bad. And this also happens when I boot into Windows using bootcamp.
P.S. If it turns out that this is a defect, since this is a custom build to order machine, should I call applecare to get it taken care of or would I be fine if I went to the apple store that's 20 mins away?

I just tested using my headphones. I can hear a very short, soft, single tick sound when I click to start playing a track in iTunes. I've never noticed it before. But I don't do IM a lot.
Unless you're hearing something more dramatic, I think you would have a hard time convincing someone in an Apple Store that it's a defect worth fixing.
What about visiting an Apple Store, take your headphones, and try them on floor samples to see if they all do it? If not, you could make a case.

Motion 5 Crashes on Mountain Lion when using audio behaviors to affect filters. Please help, Thanks!

When editing videos in Motion, I like to use the Audio parameters to have the filters react to the different amplitudes in the song. When using this combination. Motion runs extremely slow then crashes.

How much RAM is in that MBP?
I'd make sure you have at least 15% of your hard drive capacity as free space.
In the Render menu (top right of canvas) be sure to turn off everything you're not using (shadows, etc), and lower the resolution to make playback easier for your laptop. You can change these back to full resolutoin when you export.
You can try to trash Motion's pref files quickly and safely with "Preference Manager", free from Digital Rebellion (dot com).
If that doesn't work, move the Motion app from the Applications folder to the Trash. Launch the App Store, in the Purchased tab, click Install for Motion.
But be sure that MBP is maxed out on RAM for stuff like Motion.

Models that turn off integrated antenna when using antenna jack.

I am looking for a cell phone that has an external antenna jack AND will turn off the integrated antenna when the external jack is inserted. Lets define the term " integrated" as being an internal antenna or the permanent attached external or nub style. This can be on the market now or on the used market. The Treo line, even the old ones, is my primary interest but only because i have tried them and I could check email. Any HP/Palm model cell phone would be fine even if it is only available on the used ebay market. Knowing what models DO and DO NOT have an external jack and knowing what ones WILL and WILL NOT turn off the antenna next to my head will help me narrow down my options. So knowing a model will not do as I want is just as valuable. Thanks for the help. Pete I try to buy local. With cell phones that is hard for obvious reasons. HP has many workers in my hometown so i will support them first. If you can think of a non-HP or PALM company that offers this option please let me know and I will add it to the backup list.
Post relates to: Palm Pilot

Set all destinations to always ask and select no whenever the phone gives you a request, set Maps to offline, and set location to just use intergrated GPS. By the way, just been to Portugal using Vodafone and data charges only about £5 for week, and they've just improved allowances, may be worth checking your service providers web site and see if it's necessary to bother about data roaming, they all tend to follow each other, and Data roaming charges in europe seem to be coming down !

Poor quality when using headphone jack as a 'line o

I have a Creative Zen microphoto, and am very disappointed with the audio quality achieved when I plug it into my car stereo, and into the stereo in my home. For both I am using the headphone socket as a line output and am turning up the volume.For the car I am using a Sony cassette adapter (costing approx ?5) to feed into the stereo. At home, I am using a mini jack to phono connector (costing approx ?8) to feed into the aux line input on the stereo.
It is alarming how good a CD sounds on the stereo, compared to a very high quality WMA file on the Zen plaid through the stereo line input.
Do I need much higher quality connecting cables - or is the Zen known to be weak when its output is amplified through other hifi equipment via the headphone output?

Its funny, because i'm doing the EXACT same thing with mine... i have one headphone to rca cord and one cassete adapter cord but to tell you the truth it always sounds good on anything i play it through, but i noticed that if you are using the standard headphones that come with the player, and you have changed your eq, well then you have to mess with your eq for when you plug it into a higher quality output device (such as a large stereo) because whatever your plugging it into has its own eq as well, and i noticed at one point the eq on the player and the eq on the stereo were contrasting terribly, and all you have to do is adjust... also, keep the volume on the player at about 5-20... any louder and it usually creates fuzz, so just turn up the other device you have it plugged into...
hope i could help

How do i get my sound back when the audio jack is trapped and prevents soun

my macbook dropped on the floor and there was a wire linking the laptop to speakers. however a piece of wire from this lead was stuck in the macbook making the computer think that there is an audio out when there isn't.
without having to change the whole motherboard at £500 can someone suggest another was to make a seperate audio output considering one output is broken
any suggestions would be really appreciated!
thanks

Getting a Griffin iMic would work. It's a USB input/output device and you can use it as your audio out.

Using audio jacks already on computer case, please h

i just bought a new tower and it has the line-in, line-out, and mic jacks in the front. i want to be able to use them with my audigy card. is there a way to hook them up to the card via the AUD_EXT connector? The card i have is model # SB0090. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply,
If the Dri've bay only works on the Li've! series then why does the headphone jack and microphone from the dri've bay work?
Also, I was reading the user's guide manual found on the X-Fi Cd, and it mentioned a Digital I/O Module that has optical and coaxial outputs and inputs. This would work fine, but I can not seem to find this module anywhere

Distortion when using Phono jack

I want to post a fresh thread on this topic because I had a little trouble finding the correct advice, and initially took the wrong advice.
When I first connected up to my stereo using Airport Express the output was heavily distorted.
Turns out this is because I was using the Phono input jack, which, according to this Apple article, applifies the input levels more than the other input jacks:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108059
So the solution is to use any other input jack.

I'm not necessarily saying that this is all there is to it, but it's a sad fact of life that when you remove a lot of the artefacts, especially from an old recording, what's left often appears to be worse than what was there in the first place. Previously you didn't notice them so much, but when you remove clicks, pops, scratches and hiss you often reveal less than stellar recordings - and a lot of older jazz seems to be particularly bad in this respect. Look at Blue Note for example; good for musicians from 39-53, but after that, good for everybody - Rudy Van Gelder's recordings were a very considerable technical improvement on the earlier output.
It sort-of follows really that one thing you have to be careful of with the click and pop eliminator is not to overdo it (sensitivity and discrimination). Another thing to try, if you are doing other processing too is to find out whether on your recordings, there's a difference between processing the noise before the clicks, or vice versa - that's not exactly unknown. Also, even though you can auto-find all levels, it's worth experimenting with some other different settings too - especially the max threshold settings if you are getting peak distortion.
But the results vary from transcription to transcription, so it's just about impossible to be more specific about what to try. It goes almost without saying that your turntable and cartridge setup needs to be correct, although it's surprising how many people forget about this these days. How well a record is tracked on the turntable can easily make as much difference as the degree of wear does to the results.
In general though, distortion reduction simply can't be achieved. The first person to find a way of accurately removing non-harmonically related distortion from recordings without any reference to the original signals is going to retire very rich!

A noticeable hum when using my Airport Express.

I just installed my airport express to my audio receiver and there is a noticeable hum coming from my speakers. Any suggestions? I do hear music as well. Thx.

Actually only anticipating the required hair-tearing that any network (re-)configuration requires. We've recently moved and already have the AX set-up at the new house for wireless and Airtunes. It works "ok"...the internet connection drops in and out and the airtunes sometimes works well, sometimes music cuts off and on. I'm guessing this is a 'channel' issue that I haven't had time to resolve yet. (our wireless phones are 5 GHz and shouldn't be an issue although I can't speak for my neighbors)
The Motorola is collecting dust at the old place and we're trying to decide if we should move it out here and try to configure it with the AX or just sell it and save the hair.
What we want is to have a networked printer(accessible wirelessly) in our office and airtunes in another room. All of our computing is done wirelessly from laptops (1 macbook pro, 2 Dell pc's). I figured I might be able to set-up the Motorola (both a cable modem and wireless router in one box)in the office and connect the printer to it via Ethernet or USB (I'm not which if either would work). Then I could add the AX as a client in the next room over so that we can use Airtunes.
The obvious solution is to have 2 airports (one in the office for printing and one with the stereo for music), but the $99 seems a big price to pay just to add wireless printing to our network.
Thanks for any advise you can offer!

Low pitch hum when recording audio with iOS 7.1.2

I recently updated my ipad OS and now when I record I get a low pitch hum. I have checked all of my cables and connections, I've tried out different pre-amps (alesis iodock and focusrite scarlett 18i8) and I can not get rid of the hum... When I hook the pre-amps up to my pc the sound is crystal clear. Any suggestions? I've tried looking for firmware updates but none are posted as of yet.

My headphones work find, and so does my incar unit, but I get no sound out of my computer?? but I brought the unit into work, and it works on my girlfriends computer, but again not mine at work. Is there some settings that need to be changed? I know that she does not have itunes on hers, but I do on both of my computers Help please

Sorry. Duplicate post.

Noise when using Front-Panel headphone j

This message is for those who may experience noise in headphones plugged into a case's front jack. These noises would likely be heard if one uses a quality phone set with good isolation. (not noise cancelling type) and during quiet times, such as when no music or other audio source is being played, or perhaps when listening to programming with very high dynamic range and the frequent, very low loudness passages of music, etc.. There is no problem with the card. (I'm using an Xtreme Gamer card) The problem will be with the header panel on the case itself. You need to isolate the case ground from the other grounds coming in from the various board headers, such as USB, the sound card, etc. I accomplished this by scraping away the foil from around the stud landings on the panel module board. Of course you need to exercise care when performing such a modification but you will be rewarded with absolute, golden silence, when that's what you should be getting. Again, there is NO problem with the card.

If it is possible to remove the circuit board assembly for the front panel jacks from the case, you can see how the circuit foil "traces" on the board are connected. In my situation, and probably yours, you may find that the mounting screws that hold the circuit board to the computer case will also have the foil traces under them and that those traces will be a common ground to the rest of the circuits on the board. The problem arises because the computer case ground is at a somewhat different "signal" level than the grounds coming into the circuit board from the various "header" connectors, that is, the connectors you mate with the corresponding pins on your sound card, as well as the USB pins, if you choose to hook them up too. There is a great deal of strange noises that can be present in a given motherboard's circuits and associated grounds. All the ground connections from the headers coming into the board should only go to the individual connectors on the front panel. I cut away the foil paths where the grounds were all run together on the circuit board, thus isolating them from one another, as well as cut away the foil under the mounting screws. You may even have to cut foil from both sides of the board, depending on your model. You need to take care not to open up a circuit when making those cuts. A good, sharp Xacto knife or utility knife should work fine.
I found it strange that the designers of the board didn't consider the problem of "ground loops", which is what the problem is defined as. Ground loops, as you can see now, can happen when when a circuit or even separate components altogether, such as a computer, TV and HIFI system are all connected together. In the?HIFI setup case, hum results because the point of incoming cable ground for your TV and/or Internet are at a different 60 Hz voltage from the ground in your home's wiring,?to which your computer is connected for power. This causes a current to flow through the audio cable shields that is large enough to induce a voltage into the audio equipment. I've even heard of ground loops so bad that people have seen sparks when trying to hook up the audio cables between the pieces of equipment. Almost anyone who has a system hookup such as I described has run into that problem of hum when using their computer's audio into their HIFI setup. The only relief is to get some type of ground "isolator" that connects between the incoming cable and your TV and/or Internet cable modem. A quick and dirty solution is to use a grounding adapter in the AC connection for your computer and other equipment that uses a grounding plug. This, of course, is not recommended, but will kill the hum for now. I thought I would throw in the HIFI setup hum problem since, as I said, many people are suffering from that problem.
Even if the header grounds were all shorted together, the problem would be no where near as bad as having the case ground shorted to the header grounds, which was the way mine was made.
I know this is a looooonnnnnng winded post but trying to explain something like this in writing is not easy. Hopefully you will now have a better understanding of what I meant the first time, even though it was by no means a short post either.

Midi Delay when Using Rewire?

I am experiencing really bad midi delay when using
LE7.1 & Reason 3.0 in Rewire mode.
Should this be happenening? I take it that I am setup properly for rewire or I would not hear anything at all. I can trigger Reason synths via LE in rewire mode but the delay is so bad that it is unplayable.I thought "latency" issues only occured when using audio. I have tried different buffer sizes to no avail.
Any ideas?

ok I'll answer my own post.
Issue was a toggle box in LE prefs to control "Rewire Behaviour". Set it to "Live mode" not "Playback" mode solves this issue.

Galaxy S3 doesn't connect to bluetooth when audio jack is in use

Here is my issue with my Galaxy S3. My car has buil in bluetooth hands free. The car stereo has an AUX input for music. If I have a cable connecting the phone to the AUX jack for music I can not send/receive calls via the bluetooth.
I was able to do this seamlessly with my old Droid. The music would mute and I could answer the phone with the steering wheel controls.
now I need to unhook the wire from the phones audio jack. I see this as more than inconvienence but an actual safety issue. Unpluging and repluging in wires while driving defeats the point of a "handsfree".
Is anyone else having the same issue? have you found a work around?

I'm also having this problem. So are over 50 people to date, and I'm sure we're just the only ones who are active. http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s3/576056-can-not-use-bluetooth-when-audio-jack-plugged.html
Can this be fixed? This is extremely dangerous. I use my phone as an mp3 player and connect it through the audio jack in my car, and also want to use my bluetooth headset to make and receive calls. Instead the call comes through my speakers and there is no microphone, leaving me scrambling to unplug my audio cable while driving.
People say that the original firmware didn't have this problem. Samsung says it's Verizon, Verizon says its Samsung, I dont care who is liable as long as someone fixes it!
Thanks
