Static, interference with USB

I am pretty much a novice. Now using 4.1.2, I have a Behringer 1204FX ( http://www.behringer.com/1204FX/index.cfm?lang=ENG ). When recording into my MacB Book, it sounds great in the headphones. Then when I play it back, there is a prominent static which I believe is from the USB Sound Card.
I brought in a Radio station engineer to test all my equipment -- all checked out. He plugged in his Dell using Audition, and it sounded great when playing back. We rebooted and somehow it was gone. Came back later (did not reboot, left computer on) tested again, all fine. So then recorded a 30 minute podcast, and there it was again!
What am a doing wrong. How can I fix this. Please help.

no answer, probably never will be.

Static interference from powerbook and thru my speakers is driving me crazy

I am using the powerbook 1.67, an airport express and klipsh speakers for my sound. there is a mexican radio station that is playing at a very low but very annoying level thru the speakers. I have a 2.4 cordless phone on my desk as well as a printer plugged into the AX. I unplugged the phone and it is not coming from there. I restarted the AX as well as the modem and it's still there. The only way it stops is when I unplug the speakers. So the speakers themselves are somehow picking up this interference it looks like. Any suggestions? It's driving me crazy.
I wrote to the speaker company:

unless turned way up. What can be done??? Thanks -

Since the static did not follow the speaker to another source at least you now know that the problem is not in the speakers. I would have the sound card in your Mac checked, something seems to be sending out a strong enough magnetic wave to overcome the shielding in the speakers.

That is unfortunate to put up with.
There might still be some simple cures yet to try.
The entire house wiring may be one cause picking up the source and is using your devices as final output.
1. I'd look for a power conditioned master brick to plug your PowerBook, and other devices.
USP back up power devices can also condition the power lines noise.
There are all types available as listed:
http://www.thecablepro.com/cableDetail.php?cID=120&cgID=1
Each of the 12 outlets is individually filtered and double filtered from every other outlet providing maximum component to component isolation.
http://www.crutchfield.com/ search 'surge'
2. The Cables: as mentioned where chokes are already in place on them. Most USB come with them.
3. The Speakers: Not sure, but they must be the self powered type as well from AC wall outlet. That brand is known for high quality.
Could foil the inside of cabinets “Faraday Cage” to reduce radio signals.
4. AC Outlets: Are they 3 prong grounded type?
Check your fuse box area to see if a ground cable
(roughly 4-6 gauge) is fastened to plumbing, and should be.
You can also pick up a ground fault checker that just plugs into outlet to verify correct outlet wiring. A HomeDepot tool about $6.
5. Lead from PowerBook to speakers:
If this lead is extra long leading to speakers, it too could gather radio.
If you have extra cat 5 laying around, convert the ends to make alternate lead. Each pair in the cable is color coded like Blue/Blue Wt. These pairs are twisted to shield out interference together with foil rapped covering. Or get shielded cable.
In the old days of Amps doing all the power to speakers, some people would have a pile of wire rolled up behind speaker, and it also made a perfect antenna.
Lamp cords: Make sure these cords are not mixed in with your devices. As in crossing over each other.
Dimmers: If you have lamps on line dimmers, they can go bad over time and cause interference.
Then back to circuit panel and cut off each circuit to isolate other sources.
Hopefully you solve it.

3GS I Phone Static/Interference - Does anyone else have this problem??

Hi,
I bought the 3GS on a 24 month contract at the beginning of this month and have noticed that even though my phone is not receiving a call - its interfering being static with my fixed line at work. Its horrible and annoying as my fixed line at work rings and all you can hear is the interference of the I Phone colleagues started complaining - so I turned off the push notifications and wifi connection at work bearing in mind the phone isnt even on my desk!!! but it causing so much interference and this has resorted to me turning my phone OFF!!!!
I have never had this problem with any other phone.
The static/interference happens when in the car and it affects the radio!!!
What is going on? does anyone have any suggestions?
I called O2 and they were like dont know what that could be and we cant do anything!!! So now what???? Im not happy at all .....I dont have insurance on my phone either.
Kind Regards

Perhaps I should clarify my question. When I schedule alerts (reminders) in my calendar the phone reverses them. Example: Alert 1 - 1 day; Alert 2 - 1 hour. When I save the reminders the phone reverses them. Example: Alert 1 now reads 1 hour and Alert 2 reads 1 day. So frustrating. I've even tried putting them in reverse order and saving them and the phone then keeps them in the right order. I think my phone is possessed...JK

Envy 110e won't print wireless with my mac osx 10.7.5 ok with usb,

very dissapointed with my envy 110e wire less printer, just wont keep its wire less connection. Fine with usb connection, but keeps dropping wire less. Now on reinstalling it gets as far as loading, however it recognises device, lists all its details, (type ip address etc) but then error message comes up and says it cant find printer on network!!!!!!! its going to be returned or even float tested with all the water about!!

Let's set a static IP address for the printer:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') to 250
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway.
- Enter 8.8.8.8 for the first DNS and 8.8.4.4 for the second DNS. This is Google DNS. You can choose another external DNS if you wish.
- Click 'Apply'.
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

Static / Interference sound

I've been having issues with iTunes on my computer for the past few weeks. When I have music playing, I'm also getting this static, interference-like sound, like you might hear on a radio when you have a bad signal. My first thought was that the speakers were the problem, but after trying three different sets of speakers, the problem remained. Plus, when I play music through any other type of media player, it sounds perfectly fine. It's only when I'm playing something through iTunes that this sound occurs. It happens whether I'm playing stuff from my music library, directly from my iPod, or even through any of the radio channels.
I've tried re-installing iTunes, but to no avail. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Any suggestions?

I've not personally had this problem, but you might try uninstalling/reinstalling or updating your quicktime. Another thing you might try is updating your sound drivers and other programs and hardware. If you have not installed a sound card, or your PC had a sound card installed in it when you bought it, goto www,dell.com and download the latest updates for any software and hardware you have,

Ghost calls, auto answer machine and static interference during calls.

Hi I have so many issues since I joined EE network. It's my first time with EE and the experience so far has been a very disappointing one.
Don't know where to begin.
The figures below are average number of times.
Static interference - 6 out of 10 calls will experience a static interference. Even after few immediate attempts
Ghost call - 8 out of 10 calls will experience what I call are ghost calls. It's when I call someone it's dead silent, no ring tone but on the screen it shows the call has been received and the timer is on. Really annoying When I have to reach that person immediately. It takes several attempts before the call actually connects.
Auto answer machine - this ones not just annoying to me but the caller whose attempting to call me. It's embarrassing too.
8 out of 10 callers have been complaining to me that they're calls kept on going to the answer machine. But during that time my phones been free and showing full coverage . I know this because I experimented few times where I got the caller to call me after meeting them in person few mins after the issue.
Recent issue that occurred has me monitoring my data usage.
I connected my phone to iTunes on my PC and I noticed it turned on something with a chain link on top of my iPhone screen. I didn't take much notice of it thinking it's probably because I connected to my PC. Couple of hours later I receive a message from EE informing me that I used up 80% of my data. That's when I realised it turned on my personal hotspot. But who was connected to it? I don't remember turning it on and my PC was connected to the router via Ethernet cable. Wifi dongle was disconnected from my PC so it wasn't the PC using up my data. Now I'm having to worry about using all my data before my monthly reload I got another 24 days left before my next reload, which is a long time because I need my data for the line of work I'm in.
I never experienced any of those issues with my previous network provider. Wishing I haven't changed now.

Hi
Welcome to the EE Community!
Sorry to hear you are experiencing these problems. I had the same kind of issues when I got my first iPhone 5 and totally understand how frustrating it can be.
The issues you have described sound like a mix of both network and device issues.
Have you had a look at our Coverage Checker to see what the signal is like in your area?
What model iPhone are you using?
Thanks.

Wi-fi Calling (or Wifi Calling) static interference noise through Bluetooth

I have been hearing nothing but static interference noises every 4-5 seconds on my 5c whenever I am talking to my girlfriend on her 2009 Volvo S40 2.4i. She is using a 5s via Bluetooth when driving and I have Wi-Fi Calling enabled on my 5c while at home. Turning off Wi-Fi Calling eliminates the noise but I get disconnected due to poor service reception with T-MOBILE. This was the BIGGEST feature that I have been looking forward to but it has let me down!

I would suggest to you, and to the previous poster JeffMasters, to PM Peter (Toshiba rep) with your serial number and a link to this post so he knows what it's about. Sometimes resolving a problem requires you to have to take the innitiative.

Static Interference

In the last day or so, my iPod mini has started having static interference through the headphones. I don't know if there's an electrical short, or what's wrong with it. Maybe I could take it apart to take a look. It still interfaces fine.

How are you listening to the iPod?
If you are using the iPod in the car with headphones while driving then this is not advised as you are not fully aware of the road conditions around you and can miss audible signals from other drivers or road users.

IPod nano works with USB 1.1 but not USB 2.0

Anyone using an iPod nano that works with USB 1.1 but not with USB 2.0? I am using Windows XP and when installing the iPod software from CD it recognizes the iPod and am able to transfer songs using iTunes but when installing SP1 or SP2 to enable USB 2.0 transfers, Windows XP only recognizes the iPod nano as a USB Mass Storage Device. This is the same with iPod Updater.

I have a similar problem with the following configuration:
- Dell Dimension 4100 Desktop with 2 integrated USB 1.1 ports, Windows 2000 SP 4
- PCI 6-Ports USB 2.0 Card ("Mentor" resp. www.bona.com.tw), Model USB20-PCI/6P
What works well?
- All my USB add-ons (1.1 and 2.0) on the internal 1.1 ports as well as on the USB2.0 PCI card
- iPod Nano 4GB on internal 1.1 ports (external drive in windows 2000 as well as iPod in iTunes)
- iPod Nano works as well as on the USB 2.0 card ONLY WHEN my old 4-port USB1.1 hub is connected between Nano and USB card
What doesn't works?
My iPod Nano directly connected to the USB 2.0 card. Symptoms when connecting:
- Windows is very slow, process "scvhost.exe" or "system.exe" using 99% of CPU for some minutes
- iPod is recognised as external drive, but when I click on it, it is empty and copying files to it results in "I/O error"
- iTunes doesn't recognise the iPod (of course, if even windows itself cannot read from it...)
I removed all USB drivers, reinstalled iTunes, iPod (by the way, I still don't understand what "iPod update" is good for, except for updating the iPod's firmware), deactivate the internal USB1.1 ports, no result.
Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HP ENVY 6t has many issues with USB headphone, Bluetooth and more serious issue

HP ENVY 6t doesn't work with USB headphone, unfortunately. could u let me know how to fix it?
Bluetooth mouse has been working for a day, it suddenly stopped working. Having checked the PC bluetooth connection, which said "Working properly". Could you let me know how to re-connect, or re-work?
"Not complete shut-down" blue screen issue right after receiving the HP PC when I closed display to be in sleep mode.
I see the "Safe mode" "...." or "Normal mode" screen always.
The HP PC is not stable UNFORTUNATELY.
Even if just brand new HP PC, there seems to be many issues.

I would recommend using this document for your mouse: http://goo.gl/XDRRy
And using this document to troubleshoot your headphones issue: http://goo.gl/hV9fu
Most of the time with USB headphones, you have to download the driver from the manufacturer before they will work properly.

Connectivity Issues with USB 3 ports on macbook pro

Hi, I have a zoom r24 which is no longer working as an audio interface with my new macbook pro. I have read a lot about issues with USB 2 devices not being compatible with USB 3 ports on the macs. This seems to be midi as well as audio devices. Can anyone recommend or point me to a list of supported devices for both audio and midi which are guaranteed to work with a late 2013 macbook pro retina display. I cant afford a thunderbolt device. Thanks steve

Just a wild thought here, but have you tried inserting a powered USB 2.0 hub between the MacBook and the interface?

4s Hotspot tethering only works with USB and BT but not with wifi

Hi,
XP sp3 - iPhone 4s with ios 5.0.1 - on Three one plan
Tethering with wifi works to a friends Samsung phone, wifi on the pc confirmed working with the apple store wifi, tethering with USB and BT works with good connection speeds on my laptop but when i try to tether with wifi it connects to the laptop at 54mbps and all appears well, even claims to have received a small amount of data packets, but no data comes to any browser. The iPhone reports 1 connection to the hotspot and stays connected with a non-pulsing blue bar after the first minute.
In the PC i have tried this http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Change-the-order-of-network-protocol -bindings
I've deleted my firewall (zone alarm) completely and turned off windows firewall to go naked surfing for a second even though they don't cause a problem with USB tethering, makes no difference
I've deleted the network connection numerous times
"repaired" connection
dissabled and enabled the wifi
turned off the wireless with a hardware switch and on again
disabled bluetooth
rebooted many times
reinstalled itunes (latest)
loads more things i can't remember
This is causing me a nightmare. I've been through everything i can find online, been to the Apple store genius bar (genius appeared to have sub zero knowledge / interest as it involved a MS machine), been to a Three shop (legally not allowed to touch my PC apparently) and been to a Sony shop (laptop make, not their fault if my iphone doesn't work). All very frustrating.
Please help if you can! Any suggestion will be tried unless it involves sledge hammers or lakes, and only then for a few more days at most.

Turned off bluetooth on phone, turned off hotspot and on again, phone asked if i wanted to turn on bluetooth or go with USB and wifi only, said usb/wifi only. Still nothing. Rebooted PC and iphone. Turned on hotspot, pc seemlessly connects to network, still no data comes.
One odd thing is zone alarm asks me to "select a security zone for the wireless network at ip address: *******.0" every time and doesn't seem to remember the setting over sessions. When i get the status of the connection the ip address is *****.2 and default gateway is same ********.1 Not sure if that's anything.
Also getting a javascript error about an undefinded component (trustcheckermozilla) since i updated zonealarm but as i said even completely uninstalling zonealarm made no difference. I'll update firefox as well but tried with IE and still no data.
