Static noise than no music

IPOD Video: I have the same exact problem...bought my back in November worked well till about three weeks ago. Starts playing than static noise excessively loud after 10-20 minutes of running. After static for a few seconds goes away including the music. I tried several headphones and my ipod connection in my car even the docking station connection with no sound. Several hours later it works again but starts the problem all over again. I sent it to IPOD apple for repairs and they found no trouble. I played it again seemed like things were ok but startes up again after an half an hour. I called apple suport so I shipped it out again. I haven't received it yet but its on its way back home and apparently the techs didn't find a problem with it. It seems like if the temperature is higher than 80 degrees it doesn't work right. I beleive the problem is in the sound card...if it was my computer thats what I would replace. Has anyone finally had their IPOD repaired from the loud static noise and no sound?

Yes I reformatted it and restored it without any change in playback. Most of the time it will not play any of the songs. Please help!!!

  • Static noise from hi-fi speaker when no music is playing

    Hi all,
    Recently, when the ipod nano (1st generation) is docked on the hi-fi speaker and not playing, we are getting popping and staic noise coming out of the speaker. Tried the speaker on different outlet, change the polarity of the plug and tried a different ipod (1st generation mini and ipod Photo) with no success. The static noise continues to comes out the speaker when no music is playing.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Unplug the ac cable and the batteries for at least 15 minutes, if the problem remains, bring it for service

  • Overwhelming static noise and a very faint music.

    Hi-Using my nano for the first time- and all I hear is STATIC noise and very faint sound of the music.  I tried the ear plugs that came with it as well as my new V-Moda remix 45 plugs.  My nano has never been wet and I tried the music I downloaded from I-Tunes as well as from a CD.  Makes no difference-  Thanks

    Had to get a refund as it was a faulty Nano

  • Tactic3D Alpha Static Noise / Sound Distortion

    I recently bought a Tactic3D Alpha and I'm having some problems with it. At first, when talking to my friends on Skype, they kept telling me that they could barely hear me (mic volume was at 100%), then I saw the "new" firmware and installed it (before installing it, it seemed that the one I had was more recent, but I'm not sure, since they don't specify any date, only a hexadecimal(I think) version).
    After that, I didn't notice any volume improvement of the mic (my friends kept telling me that I was talking "inside a well"). But a bit later I started noticing that when some sound (Windows sounds, music, etc.) was playing there was always some static noise. In some cases, on some songs with lots of bass, the sound even got distorted. The static noise is even more noticeable when using earphones connected through the usb soundcard.
    Even when using the default Windows 7 (x64) driver (the one that is automatically installed) this issue happens. It also happens on Ubuntu 10.04. So it makes me believe it's either a firmware or a hardware problem.
    I'm not sure if it was the firmware update that started this problem, but I don't remember noticing any static noise before the update.
    Firmware Version I have now: D0_01_21 .
    I don't remember exactly what was the version of the firmware the came on it.
    Is there any other firmware available that I can try and see if it fixes my problem, even if it's older than this one?
    Using the headset connected to my onboard soundcard (a Realtek one) works fine. Mic volume is decent and no static noise / distortion is noticeable. The only drawback is that I can't use the enhancements that the USB soundcard of the Tactic3D Alpha offers.

    Just contacted the support a few moments ago. Waiting for a response now (already received the automatic email).
    I'm just not sure if it was happening before the firmware. If it was, I didn't notice it. :robotsad:

  • BOSE Mk1 Soundock & 1st Gen iPod Touch + Electric/Static Noise**

    I have recently bought a Bose Mk1 Soundock for my 1st Gen iPod Touch, at first worked fine, brilliant lil gadet, but then it started to generate a reeeely high pitched electric/static noise when the battery was fully charged when music was both on or off, i returned and got an exchange for a brand new bose which didnt solve the problem so i can only assume its the ipod, so i put in a service request with apple, off it went and came back 'un-repaired' as apple 'could not reproduce the problem/s'?? since then it has started generating this noise regardles of battery level or music on/off and is reely, reely, reely annoying and is rendering the unit virtually unusable with the bose, am i the only one who can hear this or is anyone else having/had the same problem??!?

    Hey
    Is it this noise:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqeggo7DSGg
    If so, I'm having the same problem. I've emailed B&W support about it. It doesn't occur without the ipod docked. Doesn't seem to be a problem with other docks though, so it could be fixable with a firmware update. In fact, it wasn't ever a problem with the original Zeppelin firmware, only after the update.

  • Static Noise

    I posted this on the wrong ipod thread, since I found out I own a 5th gen. Anyway, I've found some threads about the static noise problem in the Ipod classics. I wonder if anyone has experience connecting the ipod to a sound system such as the Kenwood or Pioneer Avic-X3, the latter I now own. These car systems are state of the art, and one of the few systems who allow direct control over the ipod. I wanted the very best, so I specifically bought the Ipod for this purpose.
    The problem is the audio quality because of static noise is simply terrible. Even if no music is playing there is a continues buzzing sound through the sound system (probably the HDD) which gets worse when you turn up the volume. turning off the EQ in the ipod makes no difference. Pioneer blames the Ipod, and by checking various threads it seems this is a genuine problem. What advise would you guys give me, is it worth raising this with Apple by going back to the store? I can't believe I spend more then 2000 Euros on this entire system and having this crap quality.

    Hi,
    To start with, download and install the latest IDT driver on the link below.
    ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp51501-52000/sp51930.exe
    After the installation has completed, restart the notebook and see if this has helped the issue.

  • Hauppauge PVR-150 Capture, Audio Static/Noise IVTV Composite input

    Hello,
    This is my first post.
    I have been migrating from Gentoo to Arch after 7-8 years using gentoo, I think Arch is great. even though precompiled packages have there downside. anyway.
    I have problem with static/noise audio when capturing from Composite using IVTV, im running kernel 3.0.4 arch kernel.
    I have 10  Hauppauge PVR-150 (+1 PVR-500) Cards running, the problem occurs in a random card after reboot.
    Video is fine on all cards, but sometimes the audio on either one of the 11 cards get static/noise in the audio background.. sometimes allot, other times just a little bit noise/static.
    I tried the wiki, and searched the forum, but can't find a solution, can anyone help me??
    I can provide sample (cat /dev/videoX > sample.mpeg) if interested.
    See dmesg: http://pastebin.com/U2JnJ0Zr
    Thank you

    Hello,
    changing to constant bitrate seems to correct the problem,
    v4l2-ctl -d /dev/videoX --set-ctrl=video-bitrate-mode=1
    and then remember to not have the capture source audio volume to more than 75%.

  • Headphones making ringing and wavy static noise only in windows.

    I have my mac quad booted between 10.5, 10.6, win7 and ubuntu. Under 10.5, 10.6 and ubuntu, the sound works flawlessly. however, under windows 7, whenever there isn't any sound playing, or there is low-volume sound, the headphones will make chirping ringing, and static noises. They appear to be in a pattern, one that changes depending on the last system-sound played (i.e back button in windows explorer, or ventrilio talk sound...) or while changing volume. This issue has occurred with bootcamp drivers 2.0, 3.0 or 3.1, or generic realtek drivers, under Windows 7. (both the beta and final ultimate versions [fully updated]) Windows 7 has been re-installed multiple times, and these sounds have been confirmed to happen before any software other than drivers are installed.
    I can't seem to find any solution that fixes these sounds. I know that it isn't hardware related because my other 3 OSs do not make this noise. Any help would be much appreciated.

  • Static Noise from Imported Songs

    I imported songs from my CDs using iTunes 7 and it created some static noise in some songs. I doesn't do that for every song, maybe one in every ten songs, but it is frequent enough to bother me.
    When I imported same songs using Music Match program and manually added them to iTunes, I don't hear any static noise.
    Any idea to solve this problem? Thanks.

    I too have this problem. This used to be the case with both Windows Media Player and iTunes. So, I updated my Windows Media Player to version 11 and overcame this problem in the windows side of things. I then import from the Windows Media Player or WMA format to iTunes 7 and do not have static. My problem began once my son imported his Wierd Al Yankovick CD directly to iTunes. Now every cd comes in with static. I still cannot import directly from CD to iTunes 7. And, yes, I do have the latest version. We should be able to do this directly.
    Any advice from anyone out there in Apple land as to make iTunes import correctly?

  • Recommended earphones for ZMP to minimize static noise probl

    Concerning the Zen Micro Photo known issue interference with the OLED:
    Can anyone help me to find out which headphones will eliminate the static noise/humming sounds from the OLED-Display best?
    Here are my experiences so far:
    - Static noise even more noticeable on the EP 630 earphones than on the cheaper ones the ZMP comes shipped with (EP 480 I think).
    - Absolutely no noise on my HiFi-headphones which is an AKG K 280 (but unfortunately by far too big in size for outdoor use)
    - Also no static noise and humming when connecting the ZMP to an amplifier via line-in.
    - No noise when inserting the headphone jack just halfway so it makes mono output (strange...!) with any earphones.
    Is it true that it is only a matter of impedance? My AKG headphones have 75 ohms while the EP 630 only have 6 ohms.
    Are there any small earphones with a high impedance?
    Thanks for helping!!!

    Cool. Hopefully someone will benifit from this .

  • Z87 g-45 loud static noise - not sure if normal

    Hey,
    I was curious if this amount of static is normal for my motherboard or if there is some kind of problem going on...
    Ok, umm... How can I post an audio sample without using any links?
    (don't know how this thread should work without me giving an audio example)
    There was no microphone inserted into the mic jack while I've recorded that.
    Audio settings were 100%, no audio boost, rear.
    I'm just wondering, because the onboard sound has a higher snr (thought that had basically something to do with how noisy it is) than my last soundcard (xonar ds), but it seems worse while recording because of the noise.
    According to the internet, the Xonar DS has a SNR of 106 and the G-45 onboard has a SNR of 115.
    Main Board: MSI Z87-G45 Gaming
    Bios Version: 1.8
    Video Card: MSI GTX 980
    PSU: Antec 520W High Current Gamer
    12v rail Rating of listed PSU: no idea, not sure if relevant
    CPU: i7 4770k
    Memory: 8gb kingston (4*2)
    SSD/ HDD:  Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001
    CPU COOLER: box
    Raid Card: -
    Sound Card: -
    Any Additional hardware plugged into your system: -
    Operating System: win7 home premium

    So still getting static noise while using even onboard graphics?
    Try different PSU. Also worth running outside of the case on non conductive area (motherboard box is good enough).

  • IPhone 3G Static noise due to RF and EM emission and heard at nearby Active

    Whenever im using iphone, playing music or talking then there is this huge emission that is captured by any nearby speakers within two feet.
    This is actually so bad that i can not even listen to music connected to any speakers because the static ads up the the music, this is very frustrating, I might have to return to apple for another one if this is perticular to my iphone.
    My guess is that the iphone is loaded with tons of RF / EM emission not properly shielded or design flaw.
    Genius, wher art thou

    Same thing happened to me on a recording session a month ago, Logic 8 and the Apogee Duet.
    Thing is I heard this static type noise, it was kind of low, at the time I thought it was just noise on output / playback.
    It never occurred to me that this static noise was being recorded.
    I don't remember the iPhone being that close, but it was in the vicinity.
    Mackie HR 824's are shielded heavily (and would only apply to output playback, not the input), but the Apogee Duet or input cables, I'll bet are not, and the noise got into the Apogee Duet, and it was recorded
    Thing is I recognized the static sound right away, as the awful static of the iPhone, when I later played back the recording.
    Are you guys saying this does not occur when setting it to 3G, I am going to test that.

  • TS3581 Crackling static noise in audio with 30 pin lightning adapter when battery is full

    Anyone else get a really bad crackling static noise through the audio when using the 30 pin lightning adapter and the battery is almost full? I am using an iPhone 5, BMW iDrive with the Y audio and USB connection. I did not have this problem with the 4S and the normal 30 pin connector. The lilghtning 30 pin adapter seems to create interference when the phone's battery is nearly full. I also see the warning message indicating that charging is not supported - and according to the troubleshooting guide this is normal - but what about the noise????

    Alright, another update:   I tried another iPhone 5, which did not charge, and an iPod touch (without the lightning adapter, obviously), which also did not charge.  Additionally, I tried the lightning to 30-pin adapter with an old sync cable and my computer, and it worked fine.  At this point, it appears that the problem may be in the MDI cable coming from the car, rather than the adapter.  Perhaps it was just coincidental that it stopped working at the same time I upgraded.

  • Static noise coming from speakers, then sound stops

    Hi All,
    Having a very strange problem with my Thunderbolt Display + MBP Late 2011.
    While listening to music, static/cracking noise starts... get's worse and worse and eventually the sound stops :-(
    Then I restart the application playing the music/sound, it works again...
    Anybody having these problems?
    Roberto

    As an update - my Thunderbolt display noise problem appears to have resolved itself? Most nights I woud leave the display plugged into power, which could have been leading to some static or charge build up somewhere?
    After disconnecting it o/n (no power) and then only powering it on when I was actively using it - the static noise disappeared.
    I now leave it plugged in 24x7 and there have been no noise issues since.
    NB: This is after a visit to the Genius Bar and having some parts replaced in the display. The static did return for a bit but it's now gone.
