Loss of sound and loud static

I am running iOS 4.0.2 and I am getting loud static starting slowly then full volume. After putting to sleep it wakes with no sound or again with static. Shutting down or doing a soft restart does not bring the sound back. I have restored once to a backup and have just restored as a new iPhone and will install apps one at time to see if any app is causing it.
I am suspicious that it is the multitasking that is causing it. I am trying to confirm if it is a software or hardware problem.

I have upgraded to 4.1 and have still experienced the problem. The last time I experienced the problem was whilst the phone was in a Belkin TuneBase Direct with Hands-Free. As I touched the button on the dock the static came and then it crashed the phone.
Anyone experienced the same?

  • Loss of sound and video playback on ENVY X2

    Every so often, more often than I would like, my HP Envy X2 loses sound and video playback capabilities; any ideas anybody? The concept of this machine is great and have had it for the past 9 months but this loss of sound and vision is so unpredictable and frustating...  

    Hi Brumage,
    I saw your post regarding the sound and video issues and I will be happy to help. Do you get any error messages when this happens? Have noticed if it is a particular site like YouTube or program that you are using when the issue occurs or does it occur on all programs? When you restarted the Envy X2 does the issue go away?
    I would start by suggesting that you make sure all updates have been installed through HP Support Assistant and Windows Update.
    What operating system are you running? What is your product number?

  • Vist Basic & XFI, random loss of sound and World of Warcraft Hardware enabling iss

    Hello.. First off want to say that prior to reinstalling Vista last week, I had no had any issues with my XFI and Vista.. Since the re-install, while running World of Warcraft and Ventrillo, I get random loss of sound. And by that, specifically I mean, the sound shuts off, and I get a constant loud hiss noise that does not stop until a reboot is performed. If I just run WoW and no Ventrillo, I dont get the random problem and the sound runs fine. It is however a highly annoying issue that requires too many reboots in evening. Getting to the point of just trying the onboard sound, which I'd certainly rather not do.
    Additionally there is an option in WoW that allows for Hardware enabling, which is supposed to improve performance. When I check this box and restart the game, the box is still not checked. Not sure if this is a CL problem, but something is wrong for sure! I'm using the latest drivers that are on creativelabs.com for my Vista 32 bit system. And again, didnt have these issues prior to the fresh re-install of Vista. Before that I had stepped up the drivers all the way from Vista. Thanks for any feedback on this.

    Not sure why your sound is cutting out... but as for WoW, it needs ALchemy installed to run with hardware audio enabled under Vista. I dont believe its in the list of titles included with ALchemy just yet, but adding it manually with the default options works just fine. Without doing this I believe the new sound core used in WoW will automatically detect that it cannot do hardware audio and simply uncheck the box whenever you try, where-as before it would work but still give you Software rendered sound (only instead of WoWs audio engine doing it, it was Vistas - not exactly an improvement). Incidentally, this not only improves performance but vastly improves the sound quality - especially when excessive numbers of sounds are being played. (eg Mass AoE effects on larger numbers of mobs, such as two Warlocks Hellfiring along with a Hurricane and Consecration while pulling the Ballroom - 9 mobs per group - near Moroes in Karazhan) Its possible doing this may also correct your cut-out issue, but its possible it wont. Ive been running WoW alongside Vent for months now under Vista w/ALchemy and an X-Fi and never had such a problem, but then I do also run Vent off the onboard audio so I can use a small earpiece and have voices clearly audible through game sound.

  • Xi-fi problem with Vista, loss of sound and a whis

    Hello,I have a Xi-fi extreme Gamer, and Windows vista 32 bitWith many games, just to say one Overlord, but also with Gta S.Andreas, Teamfortress 2, Never Witner Night 2.. you name it, suddenly i lose all audio that is repleaced by a loud whistle, the whistle don't stop even if i quit the game and return to the OS. The only way to stop the whistle is to restart the PC. I tried to disable many options in the audio console but the problem return, with the last drivers i can't play Overlord for more than 4 minutes, then all i get from the audio is the whistle. Anyone have a suggestion to solve this problem?Thank you very much.

    there seems to be lot of us having issues with sound falling off and odd noises.
    We all seem to get the same reply from creative as well.. silence.
    The only fix that works for some and not all is to go to the sound properties ( right click the volume, select playback devices, right click the speaker icon, select properties, select advanced )
    And Turn down the sound quality from DVD quality to CD.
    This has cured most of my games.
    hope this helps.

    Apologies for the issue and the experience that you described above. I have asked a colleague to review your account and reach out to you so that we can get any underlying issues identified and resolved.
    Can you describe the audio issue that you are having? Is this happening on the DTA (smaller cable box) or the Scientific Atlanta 2200 cable box or the Cisco RNG 150 cable box? Thanks for any additional details that you are able to provide.
    Thanks for your patience.

  • Loss of Sound and Picture Stutter

    I am now getting fed up with the sound regularly dropping out and the picture stuttering.  I cannot manage 5 minutes of viewing without this happening.  I think the stuttering picture is down to buffering but not sure as I thought this was signified by a circle spinning around.  If I had known the service was this poor I would not have signed up for it.  Waste of money!!!

    I take it you are referring to the live extra channels, rather than on demand content? How is your box connected to the hub, powerline adaptors or ethernet cable?

  • TS2771 Intermittent loss of sound and no sound slider

    Anyone else experience this where you loose sound from the internal speaker, headphones and also loose the volume slider from the screen.
    Seems only solution is to reset and restore. Pain in the neck.

    If the problems persists after restoring to factory defaults/new iPod that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Loss of sound comes on loud and distorted any clue

    Updated operating system now I lose sound and more often then not sound comes very distorted and loud  des tarting the unit works sometimes but the problem always returns anyone have any ideas?

    Do you lose the sound or is it very distorted and loud?
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • Dv9000 speakers making loud static/crackling sound!

    My dv9000 laptop speakers started making a weird sound, like a combination of static and crackling.  It almost sounds like the sound effect they use in the movies when they show a crackling live electrical wire.  The sound is loud enough that I have to mute the speakers to even use the computer because it is so annoying.  If I raise or lower the volume the sound changes accordingly.  The sound is there when I hook up external speakers also.
    Any ideas????

    tried headphones, and the sound just gets transferred to the headphones.  So I cannott use audio at all.  I checked Conexant High Definition Audio under the Sound Video and Game Controllers section of Device manager, and it says the device is working properly

  • Help!! Static sound and Lock ups

    I recently updated to the newest Ipod Mini version software 1.4. and when i play the songs on my ipod i get static sounding sounds and when i look at the display timer, it looks like the ipod i slowing down.
    Also i'm getting lockups when i'm browsing.
    Ipod service told me to restore the ipod, and i have 3 times, 1 to the factory software version, and twice to the newer version. It didn't help, as i'm still hearing static sounds, and I've switched headphones and headphone jacks, and it still doesn't help.

    the exact same thing happened to me. Mine is an original mini which needless to say is out of warranty, so I need an answer that is not "replace the hardware". Is there a way to restore it to a previous version of the software?

  • Loss of sound (Hard-reset and restore does not work)

    Hi,
    I loss all sounds on my iPad 2 (currently on iOS 7.04). This is the 2nd time I have had this issue (had it with an earlier iPad) and had to replace the previous one (out of warranty period).  Very frustrating as it is about the same time period after purchase.  Last time, it seemed like a repeated fault with the iPad and I cannot believe I have the same issue again on a different product.  It is an expensive way of having to re-buy every couple of years for no other reason.
    It did not happen immediately after an update i.e. it does not appear to be "update" or iOS version-related. 
    Anyone got any advice please?  The facts are as follows (and what I have tried).
    When it happened?
    I was in iMovie editing a movie when all sound went from the speaker.  It continued to work with earphones plugged in, but this is now intermittent.  I have no sound on the speaker at all except for when I click sounds on the menu and change the level of ringer alert (which works on the speakers).  This seems to tell me that it is a software problem.  I have no sound on any applications or internet video or music from iTunes.  I cannot survive on the earphones as they only work for a period of time and then they fail (until I take the jack out again when it works again for a period of time before the headphones fail again).
    What have I tried?
    a) Numerous hard resets
    b) changing the side switch's position
    c) changing in general settings the side switch settings from lock rotation to mute and back again (repeatedly and in reverse to see if it makes any difference)
    d) resetting all settings - this made no difference
    e) erase all content and settings - interestingly at the stage when it asked me if I wanted to restore from an iCloud account, it was making sounds (the keyboard clicks - which don't make a sound irrespective of the click setting currently) i.e. appeared to have resolved the issue and as soon as I restored my iCloud back-up, the sound went again.
    I would be grateful for any suggestions.  This post also includes a recommendation to Apple on improving its product (relating to iCloud backups) as the ultimate solution should not be paying for a replacement for a software issue (to avoid losing all my data permanently).
    My musings are that:
    a) it is definitively a software issue (on account that the speakers work in certain situations only)
    b) it appears to be that the software is corrupted in my iCloud back up
    c) it is an issue that happens regularly and is an avoidable issue/cost to Apple's customers that needs to receive higher priority in being addressed as it is built in redundancy for a significant proportion of customers.  At the very least, iCloud backups should be capable of being restored in part - is there any way this could be done so we don't lose all of our notes, media etc if the final advice is to "start again".  How can it be right to lose all content because of an Apple system software issue?  I am pre-guessing this will be the final advice (if I don't want to pay for a replacement iPad)?
    Please help me and all those others with the same avoidable software problem.
    Thank you,
    Peter

    This is an iPad user to user forum, so you are not addressing Apple.
    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
    If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

  • HF-300 Sound Quality - Loudness and Distortion

    Hi,
    Just wondering if anybody has any comparative testing on the sound quality and loudness with this unit. I am not sure if mine is faulty or just the best that can be expected from the speakerphone.
    Problem is (tested using n95 8 gig and n80) that once the volume is turned up to 70% or more the units sound is distoted terribly. Sounds like the speaker is vibrating and crackling. The symptom is like when you turn up the volume on any speaker beyond its capability which then gets that distortion/vibration effect.
    That said when used below 70% volume its too soft to be useable for everyday driving conversations.
    Golden question if you own the HF-300 also is can you put it on 100% volume and have loud and clear sound without any negative sound quality? May help if you mention what phone model you have tested youyr with also.
    I really think it must be a fault as everything marketed and reviewd about these units states 'loud n clear'. Surely its meant to be used on 100% also without such distortion or why have 100% volume possible.

    Sorry to ask again but is the car kit installed with an additional single Nokia speaker or is all audio played through the car audio system (original car speakers)?
    Most likely in the second case is that the installer has routed the audio incorrectly.
    The kit has two outputs: stereo for music and mono for calls. Mono calls can be installed to run through the single Nokia speaker but musics should be installed to run throught the car stereo 'aux in' channel, hence the question about what audio is distorted.

  • Won´t boot up and loud hissing sound when battery is in.

    Hello, I have a powerbook g4 and leopard installed. The other day the computer started making a loud hissing sound and had a black screen(it looks like is in sleep mode) won´t come out of the apparent sleep mode. If I take the battery out it stops making the loud hissing sound but everything else remains the same. Also the light in the power cord is acting werid. The only thing I got to do was to finally turn the computer off and tried for about 3 days to charge it but the powercord wasn´t working so finally it worked(after 3 days) it almost booted up but then went into the sleep coma again. (the light indicator in the cable turned off but after taking out and put in it back in the light turned on. Please help, I can´t find any good answer for this!?? thanks everyone in advance.

    I just went over and looked at the computer and it seems that is making the hissing noise again even with the battery out.
