PCI 512 bad noise from speak

Everything was working fine until a month ago. I have a scratching sound coming through the speakers with the music when listening to mp3s on the hard dri've or streaming audio. When I listen to a cd played on my cd rom the sound is perfect. I un-installed Sound Blaster drivers and applications. Rebooted and everything was working great. The next time I boot up the problem is back. and I have to un-install everything again to have the sound working right for the one boot. The next time the problem comes back. Please Help.

Mini Server makes odd noise from speaker!

Anyone else getting a noise from their Mac Mini server speaker that sounds like a file being deleted?
No regular pattern to when it comes, it's unprompted and happens even when no one is logged on to the network.
I have a (used) Mac Mini 2011 with two (new) 1TB drives in RAID 1 and a clean instal of the latest OS X with all updates applied and the server app purchased two weeks ago from the App Store. It's been doing it (more often in the evenings) almost since I set up the server.
Anyone got any thoughts?

Not so much clicky as just a subtle little buzzing undertone to the ordinary quiet hum of the Mini when the fan's not spun up that makes my brain think "something mechanical needs oiling", IE it's a motory kind of noise like metal moving against metal. (Which I suppose could be the HD spinning on its axel, perhaps, it seems unrelated to any sort of "reading disk now" ticks. Um, yeah, the Mini is probably on the desk a little too close to my right ear that I know what this all sounds like... ) Too, too familiar with HD Clicking Of Death, that was last May's "...THAT ain't right" $300 moment -- I have been backing up religiously since then, believe me! Wouldn't have thought of Disk Utility RE a possible mechanical issue, I'll have a look...

Back to back scratch noises from speaker and headphone jack, very faint

I'm having a headphone/speaker issue, but it is very difficult to describe. When I use my computer, the speakers or headphones (if plugged in) will occasionally emit two quick scratchy noises back to back. The speakers and headphones work great, but I can't figure out what the noises are. They sound kinda like if you were to gently scratch the macbook pro casing with your fingernail. Any ideas as to what can cause it to happen?

it seems that m1r3k found a very good workaround, at least for the Mid 2010 Mac mini models (that I'm using right now). I don't know if it works also with more recent Mac mini models.
Re: After upgrading to lion, cant select HDMI sound setting
Open Audio MIDI Setup.app in /Applications/Utility, click the + (plus) button in the bottom left corner of the window and choose "Create Multi-Output Device". In the new device settings tick the HDMI "Use" checkbox and you're done. Simply go to the usual System Preferences Audio panel and choose the newly created device, without the need to unplug the audio cable from the back of the Mac mini. You can also name the new audio device as you want.
NOTE:
This is only a workaround for a deliberate choice made by Apple on OS X Lion 10.7.2 and beyond:
Mac mini: About HDMI audio and headphones
Please let Apple know (here or here) how this has made things unnecessary awkward for users and needs to be fixed (these forums don't count, they are not read by Apple's employees)!

Strange noise from speaker.

Hi there,
I have bought iPod nano 5G and everything seemed to work perfectly, until now. I found that sometimes that internal speaker is making some noise. It's like "ssss" all the time iPod is turned on.
I understand that this behavior is normal for ordinary speakers, but.. when I open any game, then ingame set SFX to 0%, noise dissapears. After rebooting device it's here again, annoying as always.
I tried to restore my iPod, even few times. And still no effect. What should I do?

Rebooting resets volume to default level I believe.
Did the nano get wet or fall into any water?
If you are always getting a hissing sound coming from the external speaker, you should consider visiting the Genius Bar at an Apple store.

Bad noise from USB audio input

Using Roland UA-30 USB audio input device with ibook 1.2ghz with Logic Pro 7.
Getting nasty noise. Any other ways of getting audio into my ibook without the fuzz and buzz ?

ok first of all to help your ibook 1.2ghz's power, upgrade your rams, atleast 1.5GB, safer side will be 2.5GB
2) get the pro app if you haven't done so
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/proapplicationsupport30macosx1039.html
3) I was gonna say get the latest update for the UA-30 but it comes with OSX
4) try not to set you buffer size too high, try around 128-256 or better 512
5) make sure your cables are good/pro cables
6) record using other applications to see if its logic or just the card itself

E66 beeping noise from speaker

Hi,
I'm having a problem with my E66. The speaker has a background beeping noise (about 4-5kHz) when speaking normally on the phone. I have had the phone changed 2 times but the problem still exist. The same problem has occured in all 3 phones. Is this a normal problem and what is the solution to this? The first phone was purchased a week ago at Elisa Shopit in Espoo.

This sounds like too much of a coincidence, with all 3 phones the same.
Does it happen with every call and all the time or does it only happen at a specific location when you call a specific number?

Strange noise from speaker when connecting to wireless network? common?

I've noticed there is around 2-3 sec noise like " saaa saaa" it is similar to the noise u will hear when you searching for the radio station. it is not very loud.. just little bit.. and once it connected, the noise wil be gone..
is that usual? does that happen to your macbook too? it annoys me a bit.. and I wonder is it an hardware fault.
MACBOOK Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I have also heard this noise. I tried muting the computer but still heard it. What is going on?

Qosmio G20: constantly noise from left speaker when webcam mic enabled

Hi,
Has anyone successfully installed the logitech quickcam 5000 on their Qosmio G20? I can only use it with the microphone disabled - enabling it results in constant 'noise' from the left speaker (or earpiece).
It would be nice to get this working...
thanks in advance,
Aiden

High pitch whine noise from speakers and other issues

I just got a 2010 Mac Mini and transferred all of my data and apps and accessories from my old Mac Mini which was running 10.6.4 (2007 I think). One of the accessories is a Griffin Firewave. I had to get a new firewire cable to attach the Firewave since the new Mac Mini has a firewire 800 port. On the old Mac it worked great, I was able to run 5.1 speakers with no problem. With the new Mac things aren't so nice. I get a high pitch whine through the speakers. The whine will go up and down in volume with the volume control on my sound system (Klipsch Promedia 5.1 Ultra) as well as with the Mac volume control. I can increase the gain in the Firewave app which will increase the volume of what I want to hear without increasing the volume of the whine, however it will cause the audio I want to hear to distort. The other issue I have is that when I put the Mac to sleep it seems to cut all power to the firewire port, causing the Firewave to turn off and lose its settings. I believe this to be a bad design on the Firewave's part but the old Mac did not shut off the power to the firewire port when going to sleep so this was not an issue. So my questions are, does anyone else have problems with external sound cards having a high pitch whine noise and is there a way to prevent the firewire port from turning off when the Mac sleeps?
BTW, I have tried reinstalling the Firewave driver (several times) and I've unplugged and re-plugged the firewire cable at both ends. I have both the Mac and the sound system plugged into a line conditioner so I doubt it's dirty power. I do realize that the Firewave only claims support up to 10.5 but it was working without issue on the old Mac Mini on 10.6

I have the same problem. I have an early 2009 Mac mini and get the whiny noise from my powered speakers. The volume of the whine noise tends to change smoothly up or down, and often does a stuttering effect along with it. It stays there for up to a minute or so and then eventually goes away. It always seems to happen at random times.
I've heard this same sound effect coming from a podcast that I was listening to on my iPod Touch. It seems that the interviewer was recording from a Mac mini as well, though not sure. The sound in the recording was exactly like what I hear coming from my Mac mini. I often thought that this was a problem with my speaker system, but was surprised to find that others are experiencing the same kind of issues.

Removing Fan noise from lighting

First, thank you for your responses... Secondly, I know these problems should be thought of in advance and not to rely on post so I would appreciate help rather than criticism...
There is noise from the fans of the lights. A single person is speaking to camera in an inside room. I have reduced noise (set noise print –> reduce noise) in ST Pro, which got rid of fan noise (-45db), but distorts the voice so it sounds like he is speaking underwater. I added an EQ filter, but can't get this to sound very good...
I have Soundbooth CS5 and FCS. Thanks for any help.

STP noise reduction has a tendency to do that rather quickly. The only thing that helps is to reduce the amount of noise reduction which defeats much of the purpose.
First first adding some parametric eq to reduce the bad frequencies and then do a noise print and noise reduction, using less reduction, no lower than about 54dB.
You can also go into the spectrum analyzer and try to carve out the bad frequencies. This is more difficult than in Soundbooth's version, which is were I generally head off to for that sort of work.
Recently I've been trying Isotrope's RX noise reduction and find it miles ahead. Where I was using it I found I had to back up and reduce background in a lot more shots I'd previously just skipped over. It's one of those things that can be too good. It's spectrum analyzer is also quite good.
Good luck

Removing microphone crackle noise from a video

Hi there,
Please could anyone offer some advice on how to remove a "crackly" noise from my video? The "crackle" appears to have come from the microphone that was clipped to a shirt, and as the speaker moved, the microphone picked up and recorded the scraping noise!
I have had a go with the audio effects in Premiere Elements, but haven't had any luck removing the noise, unless the sound gets distorted. I am new to Premiere Elements but have a gut feeling that I will probably need to re-record the speaker again. I thought I would ask the question, just in case there was some method I haven't found / understand yet.
Thank you

From within PrE, I think that you have gotten good advice. The ability to remove transients from Audio is a bit limited in a video-editor, and can take a lot of experimenting.
There is something a bit better, but requires additional programs to accomplish. Even then, experimenting and critical listening will be needed. The first is an inexpensive, but great audio program, Magix Audio Cleaning Lab. With just the default settings, it does an amazingly good job with such things, though might never be perfect. I then use Adobe Audition, which has a Transient Repair Tool, and must be applied by hand, for each Transient that remains. It is NOT inexpensive, but so very powerful. This ARTICLE will give you a bit more info, plus a link to the Magix program.
Also, I would check out what is inducing the crackle into the audio stream. Usually, this is because of a bad connection in the chain. Fixing things there, is the best course, for the future.
Good luck,
Hunt

Strange noise from my speakers ... help ...

I recently installed several new hardware components to my system. These include: an Antec 480 watt PS , Corsair TwinX1024 3200C2Pro memory, and and MSI FX5950 Ultra VTD-256 videocard.
Now ... here`s my problem ... when I am on a webpage , this one for example , and I use my Scroll Wheel on my mouse to scroll up or down , I get a strange chirping sound coming from my speaker. Not very loud , but enough to annoy. Also , when I am playing a certain game I enjoy , I get a loud humming noise similar to what I described through my my speakers. Similar to what you used to hear from old car radio speakers when you revved the engine.
At first I thought it may have been interference from my VidCards fans going into my Soundcard. So I dropped the soundcard to the lowest PCI slot (and farthest from the vidcard) available. Still the noise persists.
Any ideas out there what this might be , and how can I cure it ? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
My System : MSI MS-6590 mobo (KT6 Delta) , 100G Westrn Digital HDD , Corsair TwinX1024 3200C2Pro memory , MSI FX5950 Ultra Videocard VTD-265 , SoundBlaster Audigy Gamer Soundcard , Antec True Blue 480 Watt PS

man o man o man !!!!! I am soooooooooooo stoked !!!!! That took care of it !!! Kurtman I could kiss you lol I haven`t checked the games that I was having issues with so stay tuned for further results ... man I really appreciate what you have shown me so far. Lemme tell ya what else I have tried ..... I purchased an additional surge protector (for my Tower and Monitor only) and plugged it into a totally seperate outlet GOTTA LOVE extension cords ! Didn`t change anything

Problem with KTV3 and PCI USB card extension from QTEC type 13068

Hello all,
I have been trying to make work a PCI USB card extension from QTEC type 13068. This card allows to give 4 USB ports more.
My problem is that oinly 2 ports are working and WINXP SP1 is saying that there are not enough ressources for all the PCI functions. However there is enough free IRQ. Even using this card alone on the mainboard give the same error.
I am using a KTV3 (MS-6712 VER:1.0A) and I have no idear why this is happening. Could it be a bad interaction between the BIOS and the card? wall Or WIN XP? angryfire
All comments and ideas to try are welcome especially from those who have this QTEC card.
Regards.

What operating system are you using? The card requires SP1 for XP and SP4 for 2000. If you have these, try to uninstal the cardl and let Windows reinstall the card on start-up.

I recently downloaded the latest OS update and now I have a constant "humming" noise from my MBP and my audio output is no longer working. Any suggestions?

I recently downloaded the lastest OS update (Lion X 10.7.4) on my MBP that I purchased in November of 2011, and since downloading it my MBP has been making a constant "humming" noise from the right speaker/disc drive area. I also don't have any audio output for FaceTime or Skype. I attempted to use Photo Booth to record a video and it doesn't record any audio. I attempted to reset SMC and reinstall Lion with no resolution of the problems.

Click the Finder icon on the Dock.
Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup
Built-in-Output
Output tab
Move the Master volume slider to the right a bit.
Best.
