Static on speakers when using wifi

I've got a Mac Mini with some Altec Lansing speakers.  The Speakers are connected to the Mini mini-jack out (headphone).  The system uses Airport to get to the internet.
Anytime there is any network (WiFi) connectivity the speakers produce a bunch of crackles and static.  Which, unfortunately, is constant.
I've tried messing with the cable routing for the speaker's input cable and even tried ferrite beads on the speaker's input cable as well.  The problem persists and is super, super annoying.

WiFi speakers never work as good as the manufacture says, return them and get a good 50 to $100 wired 2.1 speakers system from Logitech or Creative.

  • IPhone not recognized in iTunes when using WiFi sync

    I have found that my iPhone is frequently not recognized when using WiFi sync.  The only way to sync my phone when that happens is to use the old fashioned way--connect it to my computer via USB.  Then the phone is recognized and syncs fine.  The device shows even when I take my iPhone off power.  But when I close iPhone and later reopen it and plug in my iPhone to power, often it is not recognized.  I've tried everything I can think of but nothing works.
    Any ideas?

    I am having the same problem.  It was working just fine and then just mysteriously stopped showing up in iTunes (my iPad still shows up & syncs via wifi just fine--it is just my iPhone).  Someone please reply soon, this is driving me nuts! Thanks in advance!!

    How can I use both, Windows PC and iMac, when using WiFi?. It is either-or. What can I do?

    What does this have to do with using an iPad?
    But yes, you should be able to connect to your home WiFi network with multiple computers and devices. In my house my wife, my daughter and I will all be using the WiFi Internet connection at the same time with our Laptops and I will also be using my iPad, my daughter uses her iPhone, and we have no issues at all.
    Is this what you want to know about?

  • Is there any way to stop the delay between different sets of speakers when using airport express?

    Is there any way to stop the delay between different sets of speakers when using airport express?

    Unfortunately, I don't have either a Slingbox or iHome speakers so I won't be able to reproduce any of the issues you are having. With the fact that you live in large apartment complex would still lead me to believe that Wi-Fi interference may be the reason that you are having streaming issues.
    I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like iStumbler, or AirRadar to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible.

  • Static in GarageBand when using Apogee Jam

    Hello,
    I am using an Apogee Jam as my guitar interface with GB. I have noticed static/noise when I am playing. I have GB version 6.0.5. I never had any static before. I have checked my cables and it does it with all my cables. I'm not sure if it is my interface or GB. Any other Apogee Jam users having this problem, before the most recent update to GB?
    I am using a Mac Mini Late 2012 version.
    Thanks!

  • Does verizon selects collect data when using wifi ?

    When signing up for verizon selects is states it collects data when using wireless service but does it collect data when using home wifi which is not verizon?

    I'm not sure why one would want to participate in this program but if one is weary about it I for sure wouldn't use it.

  • IPhone 6 does not show in iTunes when using WiFi

    My iPhone 6+ shows up in iTunes when connected via USB. But if I disconnect the cable and turn off iTunes and then come back later it does not show up like my iPhone 5 did using OS 7.
    I have the option selected in iTunes to "automatically connect using WiFi".
    I have tried turning off my phone and restarting iTunes but it does not help.
    Any suggestions?

    Greetings Paul,
    It sounds as though you are attempting to sync with iTunes via WiFi, and are running into some complications. After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning iTunes WiFi sync:
    Sync using Wi-Fi
    Open iTunes
    To set up Wi-Fi syncing, connect your iOS device to your computer with the included USB cable.
    Click the Device button in the upper-right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button first.) If you don't see your device, choose View > Hide Sidebar.
    In the Summary tab, select "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi."
    When the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it. The iOS device will sync automatically when the following conditions are true:
    The iOS device is charging.
    iTunes is open on the computer.
    The iOS device and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network.
    While the iOS device is in the left-hand column of iTunes, you can select the content tabs and configure sync options.
    Click Apply or Sync to sync the iOS device.
    If the iOS device doesn't appear in the Devices section or you can't sync, please try these steps.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    BobbyD

  • Qosmio X770-11C - how to disable on board speakers when using Line Out?

    Hi,
    Is there any way to disable on board speakers when the line out is used.
    Currently if I plug in a cable to the hadphone socket and choose lineout on the realtek control panel, the sound is output to the line out as expected but also through the internal speakers.
    Is there any way to stop this, and only have sound going out through the line out?
    thanks
    Graeme

    If you want to hear sound on headset only you must choose Headphone option.
    Disconnect cable and connect it again. When you see small window on the screen where you can choose between headphone and line out options choose headphone and you will hear sound on external device only.
    In case you have disabled this popup dialog you can activate it manually. Open Realtek manager connect external device and when you see activated black point on the right side make double click there and change settings.

  • Sound randomly comes out speakers when using earphones and wierd ZZZZZT sound
