Popping noise when using headphone

Hello, I have been noticing popping sound from wearing the headphone. It usually occurs when the keypad pops into view. It's rather subtle and I can't say I am annoyed by it, but I just want to see if other people has the similar experience.

Is there any lint or anything in the headphone jack port?? you may want to blow it out to clear it just in case...
I definitely don't hear it on mine I just paid real close attention while keyboard was told to come in and out several times... was in quite room too...
I'd bet on lint in the port or I guess maybe it's already time to do a restore and see if that helps any...might as well choose restore from back up just in case that works for you...that option will be less time consuming

Noise when using headphones with new Lumia 630

I've got a new Lumia 630 today and when I tried to use headphones with it at first phone did not recognize them ( I still have to reconnect them sometimes) but the main problem is a hiss noise when phone produces sounds. It could be music, video or keyboard clicks, whatever. I can hear it even when loudness of music player is set to 0. Is it known issue? Or is it problem with my phone? I tried another headphones and have the same problem, maybe a less noise.
Sorry for my English. Need your help!

Hi wtfwithmyphone,
Welcome to the forum!
Does it only happen when using the phone with headsets? Do you also hear this noise when the audio is played via loudspeaker? What are the models of the headsets that you tried with your Nokia Lumia 630?
Note that the Nokia Lumia 630 supports headsets that have American Headset Jack (AHJ) ports. Using other types of headsets may cause performance issues, like background noise and audio quality distortion. This link will show you some of the headset models supported by the Lumia 630: Accessories for Lumia 630 - Headsets.
Let us know if this information has helped you.

Loud background noise when using headphones with mic. iPhone 5

I usually use headphones with a microphone to make phone calls, and they used to work perfectly. As soon as I got the iPhone5, I have had trouble. The person I'm talking to can hear every tiny background noise louder than my voice. In fact, they complain that it sounds like glass breaking or the ocean or loud rain. Today, someone about 20 feet away pulled up the window blinds and my caller said it hurt her ears.
I've tried a couple different sets of headphones and have the same problem. Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes I have the same problem. I have tried 3 different sets of headphones and have had my iPhone replaced. The problem persisits. I am a Version customer in central Wisconsin.
The headphones are unuseable while making a phone call in a atmosphere where there is any background noise.
I have been on the phone for hours with Apple. Problem persists.

Nokia 5610 with crackle noise when use headphone

hi everybody !!!
i am using nokia 5610 XM,it's realy great music phone but when i listening music with headphone sopmetimes i can hear the crackle noise
but when i play the same song by mp3player with the same headphone i can find the crackle sound
What happend with my phone, may be the sound chip has problem ???
Solved!
Go to Solution.

ders a few reasons y that may occur, there could be something wrong with the 3.5mm av in port, it could be dirty or damaged, or it could be a software thing where the music isn't being sent through as complete data through the connection. der r other reasons, either way, i would advise you to see a nokia care centre, especially if your warranty hasn't yet reached its void.

Noise when using headphones

I put the headphones in and i can hear the whine noise really bad.
Unless I use the mirror widget

That's EXTREMELY weird.

Popping / clicking sound when using headphones

I just got a new iMac and I've noticed when using headphones I get this popping or clicking noise at cerain times. If the computer doesn't produce sound for a while, it's like the audio driver "shuts down" and the headphones go very quiet, then when the computer has to make a sound, it makes a "pop" noise before it loads the new sound (regardless of the file or program used). Then I'll leave it for a minute or so, and it "pops" and the headphones go very silent (there was a slight static noise before). I don't get this happening when running the headphones through a USB audio card. Is this normal behaviour for Mac OS?

Looks like this is a software issue (in part at least). By installing this simple script:
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/29024/antipop
you can keep it from happening (more than once). The script keeps the audio system from shutting down, so you only get a pop on startup and that's it. I still don't know if this popping is normal behaviour or points to some faulty hardware.

With TSM adware removal tool I was able to remove unknown software that was making ads pop up when using Safari. So the y don't pop up anymore. The problem now is that when I open safari It is still downloading websites and after awhile it freezes the browser. I have to constantly go to Safari Preferences to remove them and then the browser will start working again. What can I do to stop this?

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the behest of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start Time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.

No audio when using headphones.

Has anyone had issues when using headphones with the android maxx?

On every devices iPod etc. Usually it's the head phones and not the device it self. Try swapping them out. Wow after participating in Apple support forums for years. I have to feel bad for how bad Verizon is trashed! They, Verizon are a great carrier and the post I read are ridiculous! Verizon likely replaces more devices, simply because people don't understand the hardware or software.

Noise when using isight in Movie 08

I have substantial noise when using iSight in iMovie '08. Please see my example on Youtube Mirno63 labeled test. I would like to have my daughter practice for a recital using isight but the noise is so loud. Please help!
Thanks
Marian

Hello, Marian (mirno)
If I am listening to the correct YouTube video, I think that at least some of the sound that is troubling you is background noise. Sookyas may also be right that feedback is causing your problem.
In either case, using an external Mic that is positioned closer to the voice you want to record than to your MBP should help you.
I use this Logitech USB Desktop Microphone when I want to get sound from a person who is not close to my Mac. My Logitech does a GREAT job on spoken words. Although it is not advertised as (and does not cost as much as) a music microphone, it gives better sound recordings than my laptop's built-in mic unless the voice being recorded is very close to my laptop. It certainly meets my singing and other amateur music needs. However, other brands should work, too.
Unless you can buy one from a trusted retailer who will give you full exchange or refund credit if a new microphone does not correct your problems, I suggest you take your wonderfully portable MBP with you when you shop, add any needed driver, and test the mic before you buy.
Here is how I would perform the test.
• Leave "AudioMide" settings at default. (You should not need to change these settings when using iMovie except in extraordinary circumstances.)
• Set your  > System Preferences > Sound > Input to use the new mic as your input device.
• Extend the microphone's cable away from your MBP, and start recording.
• Leave the computer where it is and physically move near the mic so your mouth is approximately half a meter from mic.
• Sing or speak in a normal voice for a few seconds and then stop the recording.
• Now change your System Sound Input preference back to user you MBP's built-in mic again.
• Start recording again.
• Leaving the MBP in place, move back to the same place where you tested the external mic.
• Sing or speak again at about the same volume you did when using the external mic.
• Stop the recording, and play back both recording so you can compare them.
This test should let you easily determine whether the external mic meets your needs.
If the noise is still there when recording from the external mic, there is most likely something wrong with your Mac. Contact Apple or your Apple-Authorized Service Provider.

Crackling noises when using Scarlett 2i2?

Just bought the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 yesterday as my previous audio interface broke. Now I am having crackling noises when using the 2i2. . .a problem I did not have with my previous M-Audio Fast Track C400. . .so I know it's a problem specific to the 2i2. Already downloaded the latest drivers as well.
Anybody have any solutions or similar problems with this product??? The crackling noise is intolerable.
Thanks.

Hi lee, it sounds like the problem your having is exactly the same as mine. When I use the 2i2 there is clapping and crackling which gets worse and worse until the sound disappears, I know a few people on different forums are having the same issue so I don't think it is the interface. I'm using iMac 27
•      NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M 2GB GDDR5
•      3.5GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.9GHz
•      16GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2X8GB
•      1TB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200 rpm
There should be no problems with this set up in terms of capability, I'm still waiting to hear back from Focusrite tech help desk and when I do I'll share the outcome. I hope this can be resolved, let me know if you have any luck before me?
If I was in the UK I would pick up the phone and call Focusrite but I'm in Australia!!

When using headphones, only the left side works, HELP?

When using headphones, only the left side works when plugged into the macbook. I've tried 3 different working pairs of headphones and different media types and nothing seems to fix it. HELP?

Hi atgoetz,
Usually this is indicative of a bad headphone jack on the machine end, especially if you've tried three different pairs of known good headphones. Unfortunately there's not much you do to resolve the issue, externally. Considering it's a new machine no sense trying to fix something and making it work. I'd reach out to AppleCare for service on the unit and if it's brand new, possibly arrange a replacement unit.

Extremely loud and distorted noise when on headphones - Omni 10

i returned my intitial Omni 10 as intermittently it would emit EXTREMELY loud noises - electronic, digital noises when on headphones. So loud were these emissions,,i was left with a ringing inmmy ear. i received a replcement, but have the same issue.
This happens with various headphone types and all the drivers on the device show sas up to date. i can see now other reports of this, yest this is the SECOND Omni 10 I have had with the same issue.
Please advise.
Peter

Hi Peter .
try to contact with the headphone manufacturer ,if it is still something wrong with
you second one .

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.

Crackling/popping/garbled when using USB audio iPod iOS 6.16

I know several people are having this issue. iPod touch with iOS 6.16, when using the USB cable plugged in to Ford Sync or other stereo head units with USB connectivity, I hear a random popping/crackling/garbled sound. The iPod does this on 2 different vehicles so I know it is not the stereo it self. I have a 2005 Chevy Silverado that I added the IS-GM655 adapter to install a USB and AUX port. Also I have a Ford Van that has the SYNC system in it.
When the iPod is plugged in to the stereo via the USB port, I get random popping or crackling like a CD skipping from the audio. When the iPod is connected via the AUX headphone jack, I don't seem to hear any popping or crackling. I have tried cleaning the port on the bottom of the iPod with rubbing alcohol and it seemed to help a little, but I still noticed the popping/crackling/garbled sound coming from the USB connectivity. Also, Bluetooth and WI-FI are off, I even tried airplane mode and different USB cables, still get same symptoms.
Any fixes for this yet, it appears from all of the other threads I have read and googled, there are SEVERAL other people experiencing this issue and nothing has fixed it??
The only thing I use the iPod for is music, there are no other apps installed on it currently.

Hey Relentless85, Have you tried a "Cline Free" dryer sheet? ! OK, done messing around. It's static electricity, why I have no idea. In my Toyota, I have this issue, The other half's Toyota-- no issue! (go figure) It's always worse in the winter, and only with one adapter. As long as you don't touch the iPod, move it or look at it for to long, your OK. But do any one of the listed activities, you know use the iPod-- it clicks and pops likes a bowl of Rice Crispy's. This helped me, it's going to sound stupid and shouldn't work but it does help. Get yourself a grounding tether, the wrist strap with the wire, the thing you wear when working on computer's, anyway place the strap on your iPod, so it touches the metal back, and the other end attach to some part of your vehicles frame, not to any of the wiring! It shouldn't work but it does for me. The garbled sound, does it it sound like the feedback noise from cassette tapes? (Maybe your not old enough for that...) or over metered sound? A distortion or rumble? Try turning off the EQ feature on your iPod or put it on FLAT, or reduce the volume output level from your iPod to about 80% - 85%. It could be the iPod is sending a frequency that exceeds your car stereo's range, (over metering. On analog tape you did this to boast the bass, but the same practice in digital format causes distortions). About the only other thing to try is Resetting or Restoring, but I don't think it will help in this case. If the tether ground helps, it static, if not-- then you cleared out one thing to check. Hope this helps, Good luck. Cheers.

Loud distorted noise when using STP Noise Reduction

Another very strange STP glitch.
When using Noise Reduction, I set the noise print. Then open the Noise Reduction dialog (or HUD, I guess). The first time I play the mono audio file I'm editing, sound comes out of the left speaker at perhaps slightly reduced volume. Stop playback. Then hit the Play button again (still in the Noise Reduction dialog). Playback is now INCREDIBLY LOUD AND DISTORTED. So loud that it probably damaged my speakers (not to mention making me jump out of my chair). Thinking there was a problem with the file, I recorded some audio (again a single mono track). Same result. Deleted all the plists I could think that might be involved. No luck.
Next, I actually went to a different computer - my G5 2.0 GHz DP. Same result, so I am completely puzzled on this one. Any ideas.
Both machines were running STP v 2.02. The original problem was discovered on a MacBook Pro, 2.4 GHz. Both have 4GB RAM and are running Mac OS X 10.5.1.

APPLE!!! FIX THIS!!!!!! IT IS PHYSICALLY DAMAGING TO THE USER. COULD EASILY BLOW SOMEONE'S HEARING.
I just went to play a preview of the file while adjusting the settings in reduce noise print WITH HEADPHONES ON! I was attempting to take out a very loud running generator in the background of an interview and nearly blew my hearing in my left ear. I threw the headphones across the room. Painful to say the least. My sound was only on the first notch and the result was louder than I can get my headphones to play with the volume all the way up.
JamesGray, if you file a lawsuit, let me know, no joke. This is a dangerous and irresponsible game Apple is playing with their professional user's hearing, and therefore their livelihood and quality of life.
