"Thump" sound coming from speakers after upgrading to 10.4.10

After updating to 10.4.10, there's a not so loud but discernible "thump" sound coming from the speakers every like 5 minutes or so. Very anoying.
It's very easy to spot it when having external speakers connected to the audio port.
It just wasn't there before, anyone else having that??

I can't seem to find any of the posts you mention (??) about the "pop" sound, it has to be the same type of sound is very anoying I had to disconnect my external speakers.
My volume has been always very low, yes 1-3 clicks are not audible. I would hope they made an option of this lower volume thing just like the ipods have it, where one would decide where to limit (or not of course) the volume.
I hope they resolve this issue soon.

Very Very Bad Sound Coming from Quad at Start-Up

I've been a happy quad user for over a month and this morning I awoke my quad and heard a super loud "snap" like a serious electrical spark - scared the
$%@# out of me and my GF came running in when she heard it.
I find the quad always makes a loud "click" upon start-up, but this was atypical, I don't like loud electrical sounds emanating from my computer!
Anyone else hear this or have this problem?

thanks for your responses ... the loud electrical "snap" I heard was an isolated event and extremely loud - I jumped about 10 feet and I hadn't even had a coffee yet. There is a "click" sound upon hitting the power button which I assume is normal.

Scratchy sound coming from speakers

# After searching the forum,?I had to post. I have the X-Fi Xtreme Audio card installed. When I playback any songs or videos, i get a scratchy sound from the audio. I have uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled twice with no improvement. Please help!

It's a shame a company this large doesn't have some moderators that will at least help pointing you in the right direction. I did consumer electronics repair for many years but that's been like 20 years ago. I came into the field just as we were switching from tubes to solid state. Fortunately electrons still flow in the same direction and block diagrams are still pretty much the same for most things.
I'm having the same problem with a THX 550 5. surround sound system. That scratchy sound unfortunately can come from many things from leaky electolytic capacitors to amplifier transitors breaking down to a physical aspect which is... if you have overdri'ven your speakers too many times the coils can be cooked which creates a scratchy sound as the speaker cone moves forward and backward. To make sure that is or isn't the problem get access to the speaker cone and apply pressure EVENLY to the cone and push it in and listen for the scratching. By evenly I mean put a couple of fingers on opposite sides of the cone and GENTLY? push in. Depending on the size of the speaker it travels a very little bit. Say on a 2? inch woofer the travel might be something like a quarter to half inch of travel. If that's your problem solution is simple... replace it. If not I'ld start looking at the larger electrolytic caps in the amplifier section. The only way to check these without a good and I mean good cap checker, the cheap ones will lie to ya, is to simply remove and replace. Best bet is if you can replace the board itself.
Hope that helps you a little.

Dell E6520 IDT 92HD90BXX - no sound from speakers after update

After recent kernel upgrade speakers in my laptop stopped working (only headphones output works).
I had been using ALSA.
I switched to OSS to bring the speakers back and it works.
I'm fine with OSS unless all of my apps recognize and work with it flawlessly.
(Internal mic however works neither with ALSA nor with OSS :-( )
Searching the net I found that it's an overall problem with this piece of hardware. (UBUNTU bug-reports)
I need the mic so where should I start poking. (Tried everything in alsamixer)
When I try to record sound I can hear only slight noise.
Maybe the driver doesn't support internal mic or assumes it's a line-in?
Why did it stop working with ALSA?
On reporting a bug what data should I provide?

try repairing permissions, restsrt and "fiddle" with
settings in sound prefs
What do you mean by "fiddle"? I uplugged my Apple Pro speakers last week so I could boot my computer without waking up everyone - it was early. When I plugged them back in they are not recognized. I tried zapping and some of the other suggestions I've seen here but nothing works.

Mic sound coming from speakers on X

Right now whenever I use my mic the sound that im inputing into the mic will come out the speakers. How can I make it so that the sound does not come out the speakers.

In the Windows volume controls (aka Windows Mixer), do you have "microphone" listed in the Playback section? If so, mute that, and in the Recording section select "microphone." That will let applications "record" microphone but won't pass it through to your speakers/headphones.

How can I disable the 'First Run' and 'Whats New' pages from showing after updating Firefox for all users that log onto a system.

I am a system administrator and need a way to set a global preference to not open the Whats New and first run pages. I found the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone preference in the user profile but want to be able to set this globally.

Use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify default values.
Place a file local-settings.js in the defaults\pref folder where you also find the file channel-prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
You can use these functions in mozilla.cfg:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

Low muffled sound coming from the speakers on IPod Touch

How can I resolve the low muffled sound coming from speakers on IPod Touch 4th generation?
Reset of apps was done and full reset of the IPod was done.

This is not normal and there is no solution you can administer from home without voiding any warranty you may have... i suggest taking it to your nearest apple store and letting them know, they are very good when it comes to these small problems and will most likely give you another iPod while they fix/throw away your old one... Do a backup first though, so you can load your files back onto the new one.

Has anyone experienced a popping sound coming from their speakers after the upgrade to 10.8.5?

Has anyone experienced a popping sound coming from their speakers after upgrading to 10.8.5? If you play something with sound (like iTunes or YouTube video) it goes away but then appears again after you wake up your computer from sleep.

Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/Audio/com.apple.audio.SystemSettings.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected file to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
Reboot and recreate your settings in the Sound preference pane.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

I don't have any sound coming from my speakers after updating my HP Envy H8-1513C?????

Since I updated my HP Envy H8-1513C i don't have any sounds coming from my monitors. I also can't seem to get any sync cords for my iphone 4 to work with my computer. These always worked before the update???

I recommend going through the troubleshooting section in this document to see if any of that can resolve your issue.
Have you tried a hard reset yet?

Sound coming from both speakers and headphones at the same time in probook 4440s

I have a Probook 4440s with windows 8 pro(64 bit) with IDT high definition codec installed. Yesterday when i was playing some songs i noticed that the sound was coming from both headphones and speakers even when my headphones are plugeed in and my lappy was having no such problems a few hours earliers while i was watching a movie. Please help..

It may be because you have both the internal speakers and headphones enabled at the sametime on your laptop. This might just happen automatically when you plug your headphones in. You need to manage your audio devices on your laptop.
Go to Control Panel> Hardware and Sounds> Manage Audio Devices> Playback Tab (which should already be selected)
In the playback tab there should be a list of all the audio devices you are using on your computer. Right click on the one you don't want to use and click disable. This should stop the sound coming from that audio device.
Remember: You will need to enable that audio device if you want to listen to sound through it again. Your internal speakers won't work once you enable them again. This might also be the case with your headphones. You may also have to do this every time your plug in a device or once you restart your computer.
Another note: Sometimes disabled devices will not show up on the audio device list so once you disable a device it will dissappear. This is an easy fix too. Just right click on an audio device and make sure show disabled devices and show disconnected devices is checked.
I hope this helps.
(I was using a computer with Windows XP to explain the instructions but it should be similar with your Windows Operating System. You may however have to play around a little on your computer because it may be slightly different)

I don't have any sound coming from my computer. I checked all the speakers but i still don't have any sound. help!

I don't have any sound coming from my computer. I checked all the speakers but i still don't have any sound. help!

Do you have sound coming from the audio output port using headphones? If so, when the plug is pulled out, is there a red light?
You may need a PRAM reset:
