Scratchy sound in receiver. No damage.?

my iphone4 sounds very scratchy on calls. Has not been dropped or damaged. 1 month old... Restarted.  Any ideas?

If the troubleshooting steps well-outlined in the User Guide don't solve your problem, then make an appointment at the Genius Bar to have your phone evaluated.

  • Scratchy Sound When Sliding Through Covers in Cover Flow View in iTunes 8

    Anyone having problems with a scratchy sound as you slide through covers in the cover flow view in iTunes 8?
    Also sliding too fast has caused app to crash.

    The scratchy sound seems to have come up a few times with iTunes 8 (including in a couple of other threads that I can't find right now). It seems to have picked up around the last QT update, which was coincident with the iTunes upgrade.
    (post updated)
    I must admit, I didn't read closely at 7:30 in the morning, and didn't see this was just happening to OP with cover flow.
    But there have been a number of people (including me) complaining of general scratchiness in iTunes 8 and AirTunes that seems traceable to the last QT update. Be glad you aren't in my situation, where it's ALWAYS scratchy.

  • Scratchy sound dynex 27" tv

    Hello, I purchased a 27" dynex for christmas.  since day one it had scratchy noise from the left speaker, it was only a few channels at first but slowly progressed until almost all channels were affected.  I took it back to BB who sent it off for repairs.  The tech. called me while working on the TV and said he didn't hear any scratch sound but would replace the speakers and sound card anyway.  Got the TV back and within 1 hour started hearing the scratchy sound again.  Now, before I take it back again, how can check to see if it is the cable signal or not.  Or should I just take it back to be looked at again?  I'm using coaxial, would changing the input make a difference?  Thanks, Jeff

    are you using the correct audio input mode on the dynex because if not i know what you are hearing? check the various input modes plus the various output modes on your cable box also because it may be the output mode causing it and not the input mode if you are using a cox box that is. i can put my dynex on the wrong mode also and can't even understand a persons voice its so bad. check everything it may not be the tv it's most likely the tv's settings instead or the converter box settings.....

  • Airport Express - Airtunes Scratchy Sound

    Transmitting music via Airport Express to remote speakers via Airtunes produces scratchy sound. Not as good as connecting speaker to direct iTunes output via computer out-jack.
    I am using D-Link Router DIR-625 compatible with 802.11n
    Does Airport express have a sound fidelity limitation?
    John

    Does the coding and decoding produce some loss of sound fidelity?
    It is also important to note that the AX functions only at a 44.1kHz sample rate. When you play 32kHz or 48kHz data, iTunes sample-rate-converts the data in real time before sending it to the AX.
    iTunes uses a QuickTime CODEC to convert audio files to Apple Lossless, and then, uses AirTunes to send them to the AX. In turn, the AX uses built-in software that converts the Apple Lossless to an Encoded Digital Audio format. From there, digital audio is sent to a optical transceiver to convert the electrical signal to an optical one before sending it to the innermost part of the audio port. The digital output is a bit-for-bit match of the source stream. Little or no sound fidelity is "lost."
    However, for analog, the AX has a built-in DAC to convert the Encoded Digital Audio to Analog which is sent to the same audio port. In this case, some "loss" of fidelity can be expected. To overcome this, some folks incorporate an external DAC.

  • TS2755 No sound when receiving txts...

    I have noticed after the last two updates I have no sound when receiving my txt messages.
    Not sure if I have done something wrong...
    Thankful for any help...

    No, you can't get rid of the sending sound.
    If you have your text tone set to "none", you will receive no audible notification and no vibration. The work around would be to install a custom ringtone that is just silence and set the text to that. You wouldn't here anything but you'd still feel the vibration if you've turned that setting on.

  • Notification center does not play sound when receiving notifications.

    Why my new ipad Notification center does not play sound when receiving notifications.

    Settings>Notifications .... Did you set up the various apps to receive notifications?
    Do have system sounds muted?
    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • Scratchy sound when playing a .mov file in QuickTime

    I just got a new camcorder (Insignia NS-DV1080P) and took a video that is about 33 minutes long. I uploaded it to my mac, into iphoto, and when I try and play it in QuickTime, the picture is great, but it is very scratchy sounding. When I plug the camcorder directly into my tv, the sound is fine. When I play it back from the camcorder, the sound is fine. Please help with what I am doing wrong and how I can fix this.

    What I have always done is to add a Build In of Start Movie automatically after transition. Then add a Build Out of Stop Movie and adjust the delay to fit the timing of the movie. There are two problems with this technique.
    First, the delay can only go up to 60 seconds. So if you have a longer movie, you need to add a shape, set the fill and line to none and then add build ins and build outs (or actions) to equal the time needed to fit the length of the movie. For example, if you have a 3 minute movie, you can set the build out for 60 seconds, but then need to add 2 minutes worth of other actions to fill the time, so the build out happens at the end of the movie.
    The other problem is that if your movie is exactly 96 seconds and you have 96 seconds of builds, it might not still quite end right at the same time. There seems to be a bit of difference in the time from the movie and the builds. So you might have to play with the delays a little to get it to work just right.
    Hope that helps.

  • IPhone making strange sound when receive all types of message.

    I've bought my iPhone 4S last week and it started making a really strange sound when receiving all sorts of messages (e-mail, whatsapp, sms). The sound is the sound I selected for each one but it loops 4 or 5 times everytime! What can it be?

    If no change after powering your iPhone off and on, try an iPhone reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release - ignoring the slide to turn off prompt when doing so. An iPhone reset does not affect any data or settings.

  • Scratchy sound in iTunes! (No problems in Quicktime) - frustrating!

    Hello everybody,
    When playing audio in iTunes 10 the sound is scratchy. If a song starts out very quietly, eg. with only an acoustic guitar, there is a very noticeable scratchy sound almost every time a note is played. This is extremely frustrating when listening to any kind of music.
    I'm on a brand new MacBook Pro, everything is up to date. I also had these sound scratch issues with my old MacBook, so I was hoping they'd be gone on my brand new MacBook... Guess not.
    Anyway, I tried EVERYTHING to locate the problem. Here's what I discovered yesterday:
    -I imported a brand new CD into iTunes
    -Then, when I played the imported files in iTunes, the scratchy sound was there. Frustrating.
    Here's what I don't understand:
    When playing back the very same files using QuickTime, or even using Quick Look in the Finder, there's NO scratchy sound. The output level is a bit lower, that's all - but no scratchy sounds whatsoever. The files sound perfect and awesome in QuickTime and Quick Look.
    So, what should I do now?
    Using QuickTime to play all my music seems pretty rediculous, to say the least. The whole point of iTunes is to organize and play your music. So this bothers me quite a bit.
    It seems to me that this is an iTunes issue.
    Hope to hear from some of you.
    Best,

    Hi guys,
    Just stumbled across this post on Google and I just want to say that I am experiencing the same problem and I have the equalizer turned off! I am running my iMac with a USB sound card to my amp and into B&W floorstanding speakers which all work VERY well.
    Similar to the guy above my songs are playing very well with QuickTime - not a problem at all, but with iTunes 10 something isn't quite right. Basically when a song gets slightly bassier it tends to sound scratchy - e.g. A hard strum of a guitar. I know this isn't right and I am certain it is an issue with iTunes - the equalizer is turned off but sound check is on (with sound check off it sounds worse).
    What I struggle to understand is that all of my songs have been sync'd to my iPhone 4 and those songs which sounded scratchy on iTunes on my iMac sound fine on he phone - even when I go out of the headphone jack of my phone straight to my amp!!
    Please, please can somebody resolve this issue - I love high quality sound and if the iMac insists that I play and organize a bulk of my music with iTunes then it needs to sound right because at he moment the likes of John Mayer are sounding rough!
    One of the main songs we could use as an example would be a song by Mumford and Sons called "After the Storm".
    Thank you in advance to anybody with any advice.
    Luke

  • Intermittent Scratchy Sounds

    I have intermittent scratchy sounds occurring in my songs.  Anyone know aht might cause this and how to fix it?

    Hello and welcome to the Forums. You stated you did a hard reset. Did you sync the device afterward? If so and it's a software issue that is causing the problem, it will still occur. If you have synced, what you need to do is back up your data and hard reset again. DO NOT sync the device for 24 to 48 hours and see if the ringer issues come back. If they do then this tells us it is a hardware issue and the device will need to be repaired or replaced. If it resolves the ringer issue what you will need to do is rename your backup folder and sync. This will put your PIM data only on the device and not any 3rd party software. If you are running XP on your PC to rename the backup folder go to C: Local disc / Program files / Palm or palmone folder / your username / and open that folder up and find the one named backup. To rename it right click and choose rename. Call it backupold. Now any 3rd party app. that are in that folder you can doubleclick on the .prc filename of the app and it will put it in palm desktop installer and put it back on your device the next time you sync. Do these 3rd party apps. one at a time and run the device 24 hours in between adding the next one. When you add one and then the ringer starts acting up this will tell you that is the sofware that is causing the problem for the ringer and you can just delete that application.   Hope this helps....

  • How can you turn off the sounds for receiving a text or e-mail while on a phone call???

    How can you turn off the sounds for receiving a text or e-mail while on a phone call???

    That's the most stupid thing. It may work but the phone shouldn't be going off in your ear while in use from the start.
