Loud, Random White Noise during call

Hello all
When I am making a video call with someone, an extremely loud sound of white noise occurs during the call.
It occurs on my side only, and the other person cannot hear the sound. It does not matter if I initiated the call or not. It also happens at random times and with or without video. Just all of a sudden, I will get an extremely loud noise...like television static.
I am at my wits' end because this has been happening for the past 2 weeks for every call I make.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, I am struggling with this issue for quite a while now, I was wondering whether there is any solution as of now. I have seen this problem with several notebooks (One Lenovo, one Dell, one MacBook Pro, two Vaio's). It's been an issue under MacOS, Windows and Linux alike. The only (very temporary) fix is muting my machine and resetting. Is there any solution as of yet? Is there anything I can do besides use an earpiece? I'd like to be able to use my notebook mic and speakers , since that's what they were designed for. (Other VoIP software works without the white noise issues, so I am pretty sure it's not a hardware problem)

Throwing stuff in trash makes loud awful white noise sound???

Just in the last few days when I throw something in the trash, instead of the normal sound it is set up to make, it will have a very loud fuzzy white noise type sound. The only way to get it to stop is to restart or shut down. You can't turn it down with the volume either, no response to that. What is going on? Is there something I can do to correct the problem? It doesn't do it all the time either???thanks

it's very interesting that you're experiencing this while playback.
I've (and many others....) got the same problem during recording, which by the way is a very painful experience or everybody that's wearing headphones..... normally people get the error message "disk is too slow" when that problem occurs!
Since there is no official and unofficial cause for this problem and also no solution currently it's hard to say what's behind it.
the only one thing i tried yesterday was playing around with the buffer size. in my case i experienced that crash yesterday a couple of times (in like 1-4 minute distances) when my buffer size was set to 128 samples. when i used a buffer size of 64 sample i dindn't get this error anymore. (don't ask me why, i can't explain it. another interesting thing is that the cpu usage doesn't show more when using only 64 samples)
try changing the buffer size, maybe it helps.....

Logic Pro 9 Random White Noise

Hi everyone,
So I just bought Logic Pro 9.1.8, and after opening up a Logic project that I got from a friend, whenever I hit play, there is random white noise. So the song will play for a few seconds, and all of a sudden there will be white noise in the left or right (sometimes both) ears for a second or so. No it's not the recording, it seem to be the software, I've tried pausing the song right as the white noise comes on and even though all the music stops, the white noise lingers on then faides out for a second or two. I was editing this project on my friends computer before and it was working fine, and now it's not working on my computer. It's also not the project, I've opened up multiple projects and it still does it. Any help would be AWESOME because I really need to finish this song.
Just incase it's needed:
Macbook Pro Mid 2012 13 Inch
Mac OSX 10.8.3
2.9 GHz Intel Core i7
8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM

Nevermind! I have found the problem. If anyone else if having one, check if you have any demos of plugins! Sometimes they input random whitenoise or silence points to remind the user that they have not bought the full product.

How do I level the volume in a piece of music without creating white noise during silent/quiet parts

It's actually the original Star Wars trilogy soundtrack. The volume swings by 25 db or more, even during the same track. You can't listen to it without riding the volume knob. That's not hyperbole, you actually cannot hear parts of it if the loud parts are at a safe volume. It's not a bootleg copy or anything; I bought the CD's. Pathetic that they haven't already done what I'm trying to do, if you ask me.
Raising the volume of my sterio doesn't create white noise, so it seems like I should be able to duplicate the effect somehow, probably with some kind of dynamics processing. Classic Soft Knee, for example, has the white noise problem. When I used it in the talk radio business, it would also amplify the speaker's breaths. I've fiddled with it and tried to come up with my own settings without success. Maybe I need a different tool entirely?
I'm doing this for my son. He's 5 and loves Star Wars and loves listening to the music in the car wherever we go. Thank you for any help you can give!

My first, only slightly tongue-in-cheek reaction is to say, well done to the manufacturers of the CD!! To actually allow the "full" dynamic range of the original to be released on CD!!
Sorry, I know that is not what you wanted to hear, but it is such a pleasant change that I couldn't resist commenting on the fact that the CD manufacturer actually does NOT want to "homogenise" the dynamic levels. However, I realise this does create a problem for you in the circumstances of wishing to play the CD in your car.
You are correct, IMO, to be looking at the use of compression to reduce that dynamic range, though your talk of "white noise" is concerning. Certainly the effect of compression is to reduce the dynamic range by, as it were, "decreasing the level of the loudest and increasing the level of the quietest parts"; there is a danger that increasing those quietest parts COULD increase the "noise" but I suspect the CD was recorded in pretty near "ideal" conditions, i.e. the noise floor was so far below the quietest signal that raising the level of that signal will minimally increase "noise", if at all.

Loud Speaker Turns on during call . Any solution ?

Loudspeaker turns on during call with an option showing me that its in handset mode and offcourse it still gives me an option to switch the loudspeaker on . Is there any solution for this tried updating the software and all ...

Getting random white noise in Premier Pro CS3 audio

I'm working with Premier Pro CS3 on a simple 15 minute slide show with approx. 150 pictures and 3 songs in WAV format. In each of the three songs, I'm getting 1-second bursts of white noise - on left or right or both channels - approx. 3-4 times in each song. When played outside of Premier Pro, all songs are clean with no white noise. None of the songs are too 'hot'; show three have good levels in Soundbooth. I've scanned all of the audio sections in Help and can find nothing that might explain the cause and I'd appreciate some guidance. I've worked with previous versions of Premier Pro for years and have never run into this. Thanks.

Have you updated your Creative driver? That would be one of the first things that I would do.
Next, in Soundbooth, do you see the noise in the Waveform? In PrPro, when you zoom in both vertically and horizontally on the Audio Track, do you see it in the Waveform?
Some folk have had great luck using ASIO4ALL as their ASIO driver. It has cleared up many issues with a broad range of equipment. I do not recall your exact problem, but then I might have missed that one. Note: after you download and install ASIO4ALL, you'll need to go to Audio Hardware and set it as your Input and Output. This driver has been very helpful on the Audition forum, and with all sorts of issues and some very esoteric hardware.
Hope that something helps, and good luck,

GT70 2PE Dominator Pro increasing static/white noise during different games.

Hello.
I'm quite in a predicament here. I have an MSI GT70 2PE Dominator gaming laptop.
Every time I play a game[doesnt matter which one, ones demanding high specs and also with games that can run on toasters :p ] after a couple of minutes I start hearing this increasing static, white noise coming from my speakers or headset. After a couple of moments it also sort of disables my microphone as well. IE When in in VoiP while playing a game, after the noise increases my mic also stops working.
I tried everything I could think of. Reinstall drives, format the laptop, all the little advice people give in other threads about this kind of problem. I also sent it into repairs and they said it was fixed but alas it still isnt. I tried using different power adapters and that doesnt seem to make a difference.
One interesting thing is that when I just play on batter power - no issues at all. As soon as I plug in the adapter - the noise start building up again.
Anyone has any ideas what might help?

I have the same laptop and also have the same problem.
I have not been able to find a solution for it. I think it might be a voltage or heat problem.
I ended up buying a pair of USB headphones so i could have sound while playing video games. I would recommend you do the same.

Severe random white noise problem...who to contact?

i primarily use logic with the vienna symphonic library software and generally things have been great...however.
occasionally when selecting notes in the piano roll severe blasts of maximum volume usually painful white noise will shoot out of the speakers.
this is quite unsettling for many reasons.
i've noticed some threads around the web about this (for example http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2144002&tstart=30 ) and i would like to do whatever i can to help apple fix this.
for me it's pretty specific as it has only happens when editing in the piano roll in a track that has a vsl instrument loaded into it and i click and drag to select multiple midi notes. perhaps it's a vsl issue but the thread i mentioned above suggests there's an apple issue. i'll post this on the vsl forum too.
what's more disturbing is it's happening more frequently but i haven't changed anything in my setup that seems remotely related to this except upgrade to 10.6.3 today which didn't help.
i'm using logic 8.02, snow leopard 10.6.3 on a macpro 2.66 quadcore with 8bg of ram.
so if anyone has any insight on how to fix this it would be wonderful or if someone knows of an address i can send my circumstance to that may help apple fix it that would be great too.

Random Keypad Tone During Calls

Over the last month or two I have noticed that while making or recievong calls at random points during the call I will hear a long loud tone very reminiscent of what the keypad sounds like, or when someone accidently hits a key on a regular phone during a conversation. I do not have the minute timer selected so I don't think it is from that. I am at a loss as to what it could be. Does anyone have any ideas or how I can fix it its highly annoying. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

No as I specified in my original post the minute alert is shut off. Also the touchscreen is black and inert while on the phone so I don't think its my cheek. I also make sure not to touch any of the physical buttons on the phone. I may take it into a verizon store and see what they can do since I have been having other issues especially since the recent software update. Thanks for all of your replies though.

Skype randomly goes offline during calls.

Hi, guys!
My skype randomly goes offline for no reason at all. One minute I'm talking to my friends, next minute I'm not. This is really annoying and I really want it fixed!! In most cases, Skype will go offline at around 12 seconds to 30mins during the call. My internet disconnects but I can still surf the web. Please fix this immediatly because this so so annoying. PLEASE HELP!! THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE I COULD THINK OF!!!

You can uninstall current version of Skype from the control Panel and you can install Special Version.
http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-sse
and disable automatic updating of Skype.
In Skype, Tools >> Options >> Advanced >> Automatic updates >> Click on Turn off automatic updates >> Save Changes.

Has anyone ever had someone complain of an interference noise during call?

When I'm talking on my phone, my sister and husband have heard an annoying sound. They say it doesn't happen all the time though. I don't hear the noise. I took off the case and it is still happening. I'm getting very frustrated!

I've read of some knowledgable users being able to string these scammers, who are probably mostly low-rent phone dialers with a script to follow, along for ten or fifteen minutes by asking all sorts of naive questions. The transcripts I've seen have been pretty funny. Here's a couple that make good reading:

Skype Ads Randomly Playing Sounds During Calls

I've been having random sounds play while in meetings and realized it was due to Skype ads on the homescreen. The sounds are can be music or some random ad-voice. I've managed to make it stop temporarily by clicking "Home" button. However, this nusance persistantly occurs. This is extremely annoying and embarassing as a majority of my Skype calls are business related. I've read several existing threads (most archived) and nothing has provided any real help in resolving this. I'd like to know if Other Skype Users are encountering this irritating issue, and/orHow do i prevent sounds eminanting from Skype ads randomly playing at will?? This is pretty awful UX Skype folks. ::

Hi and welcome to the Skype Community,
Sorry to hear about the Skype ad playing audio by itself. Can you share a screenshot of the ad which would help us identifying the actualy ad? Do you see the ad on top of the conversation window or in the Skype Home screen that is shown when you don't have a conversation opened?
Finally can you let us know which country you are located in? I dont know what ad it was - it has two guys in the image. I never pay attention to skype ads. The ad sounds play from both the homescreen and the in call screens. For me it's happening more often from ads on the homescreen. When I'm not on a call the sound randomly plays. When i realize its from the homescreen, i click the homescreen button and the ad sound stops and refreshes so I really have no idea what ad this is. SUGGESTION: What makes more sense to me is providing users with an option to permanenly turn off ad sounds for ALL ads. Me personally: I don't want to keep coming here to these forums to complain about different ads making different sounds - further deeping this awful UX experience. One universal - turn ad sounds off solution seems the most logical. It be easier for folks there to dev and include that option rather troubleshooting these types of issues on a per-ad basis. I'm located in the US.

Loud Buzzing/Clicking Noise During High Activity (i.e. Streaming Video)

Hi,
My Macbook is the 2006 model, a MacBook 1, 1 -- the 2 GHz model with 1 GB ram. I've stopped using it as my primary computer over the last year and a half, but I would love to resuscitate it. Perhaps someone can advise me as to what is wrong and how I might proceed.
For a 5-year old system, the computer is still pretty operational. However, whenever I attempt to do a high energy task on the computer (such as stream video on Hulu), in just a short amount of time a loud, low-pitched buzzing/clicking sound emits from within the laptop. The sound is so loud that it more or less drowns out the sound unless I hook the computer up to speakers. It feels as if the sound is accompanied by some vibration from within. This is NOT the high-pitched beeping/buzzing that other MacBook Pro owners complain of (although I have experienced this intermittently as well). I suspect that this is coming from the hard drive, but not being an expert, I wonder if this is the processor, or perhaps a fan?
I would love to repair this problem, upgrade this system to a later Mac OS, and continue using this MacBook as a glorified desktop for low-impact activities. Does anyone have any advice as to how I might proceed, or might I be better off cutting my losses with this MacBook?
Thanks for any advice.

I should clarify that this is a MacBook PRO.

Why do my speakers make a loud hissing/white noise when the aux cable is plugged in at the same time my thunderbolt to dvi adapter/cable is plugged in?

I have tried this with headphones and speakers and the result is the same. I have tried this with multiple displays, multiple thunderbolt to dvi adapters, and multiple dvi cables. Does anyone know if there is a way to fix this? Thank you in advance!

What's on the other end of the Aux cable
