Radio signal through speakers?

Recently I have been picking up what sounds like a radio station through the laptop speakers. Is there a way to stop this from happening?

My laptop has started doing the same thing. It only happens when I'm using wireless internet access. I have a Satellite L505D-S5983 with Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit. This has also slowed down the performance quite a bit. Tootsiek, I think you need to reply to this thread with your laptop info. Hopefully, one of the Moderators will be able to tell us how to fix this issue.

Unwanted radio signal through powered speakers

We plug our ipod into a small set of powered speakers and using the alarm function to wake up in the morning. But faint radio signals are coming through the speakers making it impossible to sleep. If we turn off the speakers, the ipod alarm is useless.
This also happens on receiver's Aux input running iTunes from computer downstairs.
Any ideas on how to prevent?
Thanks!

Almost certainly this a fault with your powered speakers and not the iPod. Something in the speakers is acting as a radio receiver.

Am picking up radio signals through my HDMI port?

I have created a "home theater" experience in my living room, and all was well until yesterday... I have an Epson 705HD projector hooked up to my MacBook Pro using the HDMI port. For audio I use a Y-cable to connect my computer to my Sony stereo receiver. This was a sweet setup and worked perfectly, but yesterday in the middle of watching a movie I started noticing a quiet (but noticable and annoying) radio signal coming through the stereo. Seems like this only happens when I have all the components plugged in together... Now I'm trying to troubleshoot which product is the root cause of the audio interference.
- I don't hear the radio signal when I have just my laptop plugged into the stereo (HDMI port isn't in use)
- I don't hear the radio signal when I everything plugged in except the stereo (I use headphones for audio, opposed to the stereo)
- I hear the radio signal when I touch the HDMI chord to the comporter's HDMI port when the stereo is plugged in
I want to blame everything on the Sony receiver since that's the cheapest thing to replace. Could it be the HDMI chord? Something broke in the projector? Perhaps my computer's HDMI port is messed up from too much plugging/unpluggin?
What's weird is this just started happening, never heard any static/radio noise before. Help/solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Reminds me of my grad school days in Rochester, NY, when vinyl was the source of all music. I had a decent stereo system for an impoverished student, but imagine my surprise when I learned, and not gently, that the phono cartridge in my turntable was perfectly attuned to receive the radio frequency used by the Rochester public transit bus dispatcher, whose signal was very strong indeed. I might be grooving along to Jefferson Starship, the Grateful Dead or Pink Floyd, gently ratlling the windows throughout our apartment and adjoining houses, puffing on a little of this or a little of that, when without warning I would be jolted out of my chair and across the room by an ear-shattering interjection of static-laden and distorted verbiage about the University Avenue local D bus, whose driver had just been vomited on my a drunk and needed advice about how to handle it. It was a real mood-spoiler for me. I replaced my phonograph cartridge and the problem was solved

Picking up radio signal through airport express

I have my airport express connected to my stereo system to listen to iTunes wirelessly. I can hear a faint radio transmission through my stereo speakers whenever I try to listen to music via airtunes. I suspect my airport express station is somehow acting as a receiver for this radio transmission. Any suggestions for how to get rid of this background noise?

I have the same problem. My Airport Express plays - very loudly and clearly - an AM radio station (of the hate-talk radio type) whenever I connect to it wirelessly with iTunes (airtunes feature).
I've tried changing the channel (set - update - test) and all the channels have the same result. I've tried setting interface robustness as well. None of which has worked, nor has it changed the clarity of the interfering radion station.
Also have tried swapping around where the AEX is plugged in. Nada.
As a last ditch try - I borrowed another AEX (a newer one, but same model number) and plugged in to the same spot in the house and tried connection with iTunes. The problem was gone.
So is it likely that this problem is related to certain batches of these AEX stations? I'm sure this one is out of warranty, so perhaps it will need to be replaced.

I get a radio signal when playing music through airport express

Is there a way to change the frequency or anything?

huh! what do you mean you receive a radio signal?
the wireless signal between your computer/router and airport express is digital. in no way this signal could be mixed with an audio radio signal. if you have wireless interference you will experience music drop out.
you get a radio signal, you probably have to review your audio connection. how are you setup from the 1/8" audio jack of the airport express to your audio system?

The digital radio lobby keeps pushing the government to announce a date to switch off analogue radio. So far, the government seems to be kicking it into the long grass and not committing to anything.
To me, digital radio is a solution in search of a problem, and I wish the BBC would stop wasting so much money promoting it.
Just to add to my previous comments:- I seem to remember reading about all the changes to be made to DAB when I bought my portable radio.
There was a vague mention of the codec being changed from MP2 to MP3 at some time in the future.
Apparently, even existing DAB at MP2 has an inferior audio frequency range over FM.
The DAB radio has to be future-proof when bought. I'm not sure if even my Roberts is!
This may well put the dampers on the scene as it exists. Or perhaps those attempting to force that changeover to digital are simply looking for more space in the broadcast spectrum??

Airtunes - picking up radio signals

Using an iMac G5, with iTunes 9.03, Airport Express with v6.3 firmware.
When I stream audio to my stereo I get radio signals coming through in the background. Very annoying at lower volume. Only way to get rid of it is to raise the volume quite loud. I thought at first it was just the extremely old receiver I have, then I tried it with a more modern system and got the same results.
When I stop playing music in iTunes, the sound still comes through the stereo for a brief bit before stopping (10 seconds or so) - I assume because when nothing is playing streaming is paused.
Any clues on how to block out the unwanted frequencies? Internet robustness is on, and I couldn't find any settings anywhere in the airport admin utility that might help.
I'm very close to enveloping the airport express in copper shielding
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

How to get fm radio onto alteclansing speakers imv712?

my question is that i just got the imv712 altec lansing speakers for my ipod touch and i wanted to know how to get am/fm radio with my speakers. i know i need a transmitter but what do you recomend that i do?

Hello,
Please refer to this helpful "Inside BB" Blog post:
http://blogs.blackberry.com/2012/01/blackberry-7-1-update/
As you can see, the FM radio capability is limited to specific model BBs that are running the proper OS level...your model, according to your profile, is not eligible for the true FM radio app, as your model does not have, physically inside of it, the proper FM radio receiver...no amount of firmware, OS, or software can overcome a physical limitation.
Good luck!

Recording a Line Signal through Motu 828mk3 into Cubase, Please help!

Hello everyone,
So i use Motu 828mk3, pair of m-audio monitors, I have logic but find Cubase more compatible for my style. I want to record a line in signal from my DJ mixer (allen&heath xone 62, pair of Pionner cdjs-1000).
So i connect the main outs (xlr to 1/8") into my Motu analog 1-2 ins. The meter on the Motu reads the signal, i expected the signal to come through my monitors although they are silent. I dont understand what blocks the Main Outs of my Motu.(If i play a song on itunes or a sample in cubase it plays through my monitors)
I set everything correct on my Motu Audio Setup, i put Default input as my Analog 1-2, and default main outs as Main Outs.
The Cue mixer which comes with Motu reads the in signal also. I tried to get it connected though cubase too, but im assuming that once i get motu release the signal through my outs i will be able to connect it through cubase.
Seems like i tried everything in my knowledge, now i need your help. Thank you folks

Yes i checked on My system preferences, everything is there for Motu, it reads the input and it send out sound from itunes youtube etc.
In cubase, well first i feel like the input should come out the Main outs of the Motu even if wouldnt want to record anything right ?
And yes in cubase everything seems to be set to record, drivers are motu on, setting are set, the handle (little speaker) is on to record, in preferences of Device setup motu it set active.

HT1665 I have recently purchased a sony docking station and my ipod touch wont play through speakers. does anyone know why

I cant get my ipod touch to play through a docking station I have recently purchased. A second ipod touch works fine. Can anyone tell me why it wont play through speakers?
thanks

What model iPod and iOS works and which does not?
Sometimes a 4G iPod will not fully sead in the dock because its case configuration is different that previous models.
Also, sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility.
Have you checked the dock manufactuer's support stie for compatibility?
Sometimes this works:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

New headset, but certain programs are transmitting sound through speakers and not headphones.

Spoiler (Highlight to read)
Hello,
Hello,
I just recently purchased a new headset for gaming but have been having some issues with it and the system sound. One major issue is when I call someone on skype, the sound from Skype or the call will go through the headphones, but any other audio comes out of the speakers. I have also notices that iTunes also does not function when I am in a call as well. Some examples would be if I were to want to watch a YouTube video while in a call, the sound would come through the speakers and not the headphones. However, I did find a fix for it. All I had to do was disable the main speakers and the audio was transmitted to the headphones. Another example would be if I wanted to run games via Steam (Garry's Mod, TF2, ect.), I wouldn't get any sound whatsoever from the game. Not through my speakers or headphones. With one exception, Garry's Mod volume I can hear through the speakers while in a Skype call, but I want the sound to come through the headphones. But with TF2, I get no sound whatsoever. If you need any more information about my issue, please feel free to ask. Thank you.

I have read your post on how certain programs are transmitting sound through speakers and not the headphones, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
To ensure that your headphones are utilized when plugged into your notebook, I recommend following the steps below:
1. Click the Start button
2. Click Control Panel
3. Click on Hardware and Sound (sorting the control panel icons by "category"), and then click on Sound
4. Under Playback, you should see one or two speaker icons. One of them should already have a green checkmark next to it (which will be your notebook's main speakers). If the second Speakers icon is not visible, right-click in the list of devices and select Show Disabled Devices
5. A second, disabled icon of "speakers" should appear. Right-click this icon and click Enable
6. Select the newly enabled speaker device, right-click it, and select "Set as Default Device".
7. Click Apply.
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

When I am listening to the radio (streaming through itunes) my macbook pro will log me out, quitting all the applications I have running (often firefox, word processing, itunes, etc). Why?

When I am listening to the radio (streaming through itunes) my macbook pro will log me out, quitting all the applications I have running (often firefox, word processing, itunes, etc). Why?
It's very frustrating and I don't understand why it happens. It might happen other times, but I notice it the most when I'm streaming the radio through itunes, though I think it's also happened when I'm streaming music or shows from NPR, so I don't actually know if it's an itunes thing, or an internet thing? Or just my computer being stupid? But how can I fix it?
Thanks!

My best guess at this point is a problem wwith 10.5.8
It seems clear to me that sometimes, seemingly randomly, software will access the video card (flash player, quicktime, Safari's HTML5 video player, etc) and it will cause a freeze and then log out.
However - it could just be video card + processor under load.
This didnt happen before 10.5.8 and I'm thinking it's not the new 27" display causing the issue.
I'm going to attempt to find time to revert back to 10.5.0 and then combo update back up to 10.5.7 which may be difficult as our IT is remote and we don't have access to Snow Leopard discs.
I may just have to bring my own in.
