Suddenly gets really high distorted sound that really scared me!

Hi
I have had a really horrifying problem lately. When I edit in FCP with clips that have audio, suddenly the sound just distorts and gets really high. I paniced and threw off my headphones scared that I had lost my hearing :S
I carefully tried to play in FCP again and everything was normal. This just happened over a second. This was with earphones.
I was confused but thought it only was a one time thing but now I have gotten it more often and even iTunes kept being ****** up after quitting FCP. No sound from songs came out but when I raised and lowered the volume on the computer it sounded awful and high at the same db even though I lowered the volume :S This time it happened with the computers speakers.
Please does someone know how to fix this before I loose my hearing or my speakers!?
Thanks a lot!

I have a brand new L15W-B130,  Part: PSKVQU-002002, Serial: XXXXXXXXX.
Everything is up to date as far as I know.  When audio is playing and there is activity on the WiFi connection, the audio distorts terribly.  For example, if iTunes is playing an already-downloaded audio file, and then you download a second audio file, during the very brief duration of that download, the audio that is currectly playing gets trashed.  The same thing happens when viewing online videos.  If the video is changing rapidly, the audio portion of the video will get distorted horribly,  This makes it impossible to watch anything online.  This happens with the built-in-speakers, external speakers, and headphones, so it is something in the PC.  This does not happen with any other devices on the WiFi network, so it;s not that.  My next test will be to hardwire an ethernet cable to the L15W and see if turning off WiFi fixes it.  Even if it does, a laptop without properly functioning WiFi would be useless, so I will have to return it unless a permanent fix can be found.  Thank you.

  • Paying Too much Bill and still not getting the High speed Internet that I am Supposed to

    First month I got my bill it was acceptable over $150 because all the technician work and line-up and everything. So I have Verizon double play and Direct Tv together and in 2nd month I got $143.14 bill just for 3mbps internet and on the bill it says i added the service "Change in the Partial Month". First of all I didn't even added the service and it was supposed to be less than $100 dollar bill because the Direct Tv is $23.99 which is my Entertainment Package and the Double Play is $50.99, so the  total bill is going to be pretty much like $90-$100 with tax and everything. If the next month bill comes more than $100, then I am definitely cancelling  Verizon and switch to Optimum Cable. By the way I had Comcast triple play which was $100 for Tv, Internet & Phone for 2 yeas before I had Verzon and I used to get more than 20 mbps internet speed but in Verizon I am getting only 3mbps which is very unsatisfied.
    Thank you for your time, Verizon

    Rounding to the nearest dollar is $75.00, plus an additional $10-$12,
    would not equal $143 per month.
    Is there a possibility you went to your online account and accidentally
    pressed for a change in a particular service?  Check your online account

  • Messy 'pixalated' distorted sound from multiple interfaces

    I was just about to send my Apogee Symphony card and Apogee Rosetta 800 back to Apogee to repair because I have been getting this really nasty distortion sound across all audio coming out of the computer, even in iTunes or whatever. If I turn the unit off and back on again, it will work clearly for 10 or 20 minutes, then it just clicks into this distorted sound. So... I've been using an M-Audio FireWire 410 for the past couple of weeks without incident, and then the other day, it made a small 'pop' noise, and started playing that same distorted playback. If I turn this unit off and back on again, it will play fine for a couple of days, but it has been 'popping' and then playing back distorted off and on. Does anyone have any suggestions? I know this isn't Logic specific, but I'm in Australia, and sending stuff to California for unnecessary repairs will get costly. Thanks in Advance.

    thanks for the help... I was using both interfaces together for about 6 months, with no issue, and the clocking was set for the apogee to be the main clock and the M-audio box to sync to it. I have tried using just the apogee box and clocking to its own clock but the problem persists.. could be the update.. when I left the U.S. 2 months ago, all was good, as soon as I hooked the gear back together in Australia I started getting this problem.. I'm sure I just installed the OSX update with the auto installer function. any other suggestions now that you know a little more?
    thanks again, you guys rock.

  • Distorted sounds in Windows 7 32 bit

    Hi...
    I re-installed my system with (Dutch) Windows 7 32 bit and used the "Vista" driver CD for my SB X-fi Music card.
    When I play MP3 or WAV files, the quality is reasonable, however, some sounds, specially vocals, are damped by the bass-tones.
    When I play a CD in my Plextor 80SA dvd drive, I get a very distorted sound.
    Doesn't matter if it is a burned CD or a original CD from the music store.
    I think that the output from my DVD dri've is to high, but I don't know where I can change the output level.
    Also tried the latest updated drivers for the X-fi card, but that has no change in the sounds, cd's are still distorted and basstones in MP3 and WAV damp the vocals and other instruments.
    Don't know what to do...please, someone with advise?
    Grtz.

    Using earphones, the same thing happens, the bass tones dampen other sounds.
    I tested the speakers with the Creative Diagnostics application and there seems to be nothing wrong with them, even when I pump up the volume to 80 or 90% of the max volume there is no distortion at all in the speaker system.
    I have ripped a CD and played the saved MP3 or WAV?files, they do the same as downloaded MP3 WAV files, bass tones dampen the other sounds. Sometimes the first two or three songs played, are all fine but then it slowly starts to happen... In other occasions, it happens immedaitely.
    I have two identical dvd drives in my system (running on Windows 7 Ultimate) and used the second (hardly used) spare drive, also a Plextor 80SA, to play a legal bought CD and this one gives distorted sounds too! Volume doen't matter, by the way, distortion is also present on low volumes.
    I must add to this that, when I was running Windows XP Professional with SP3 on my system, none of the above happened... It all started after re-installing my system with Windows 7 Ultimate.

  • There is a very loud, distorted sound coming from my Ipod Nano 7th generation no matter what headphones i use. Any fixes?

    I bought an Ipod Nano 7th generation and out of the box, there was a really loud distorted sound as soon as i pressed play. When i press pause, it stops. If i use a different pair of headphones is does it. So, i exchanged it, and all was good for about three weeks, now even the new one is doing it. The sound is so loud and fuzzy that i cant even hear what the song is supposed to be.

    First, ipod nano 7th gen does not have a built-in speaker. Second, a brand new nano jack is sometimes ifficult to insert, make sure it is fully inserted or flushed to the ipod body. Cheers!

  • Very high pitch sound on new Quad

    Just got my Quad yesterday
    Everything is good, except that it has a very high pitch sound that is very annoying and it hurts my ears in the long run.
    I disconnected the HD and superdrive to see if I could locate the source, but it is still there.
    I thought about pulling the gpu (6600 256MB), but I don't know if the Quad will start up without a gpu.
    I thought the 6600 was supposed to be with a fan, but all I see is black cooling ribs.
    Any others with this sound ?
    Its not a fan noise, and not a pump noise. It is like a 'electronic' whine.

    I have sensitive hearing and noticed something similar when I got my 2.5GHz liquid-cooled G5. It was a constant sound and believe it was coming from the cooling pump. Does your sound ever vary? Try running System Load and see if you can get it to vary.

  • Scratchy distorted sound from SB L

    Everything was working fine with Sb Li've until a few days ago when the sound turned wretched for everything from the Windows Log On Music to .wav files. I have checked everything including the speakers. I have looked for hardware and software conflicts everywhere.
    The one thing that I have observed is that if I pull the miniplug out of the jack on the sound card and leave it halfway in I get one channel of sound that is pretty normal. When I push plug all the way in, the distortion continues. Sounds like this is a sound card problem even though it is less than 2 months old. Anyone have some ideas?

    Could be a defecti've jack, I guess. Have you tried headphones?

  • HT5900 I've just bought my Apple TV 3rd gen and set it all up but when I play netflix I get a picture but the sound is a really loud cracking sound. Does anyone know how to fix this??

    I've just an Apple TV set it all up but when I play netflix the sound is really crackling. I can't hear anything else but the crackle. I can see the movie fine..

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

  • I was working on my notes on my iPhone4 and suddenly it disappeared! It's also gone from my iPad2. It contained detailed medical information I need. Nothing seems to work to get it back. Any advice really appreciated.

  • HT1688 MY IPHONE 3GS START TO GET REALLY HOT, AND AFTER THAT ALMOST EXPLODE...ITS BROKEN NOW.... THE BATTERY GETS FAT... WHATS THE SOLUTION NOW???

    MY IPHONE 3GS START TO GET REALLY HOT, AND AFTER THAT ALMOST EXPLODE...ITS BROKEN NOW.... THE BATTERY GETS FAT... WHATS THE SOLUTION NOW???

    Unfortunately it looks like your 3GS' battery has expanded so much that it cracked the whole case wide open. If you have AppleCare on your device then you're all set, just take it to your local Apple Store.
    If not, then still take it to the store. Complain about the battery bursting, and make sure to tell them that it's for sure a defect (you'd think it's obvious, but sometimes you just need to drive the point in), and that it potentially could have been and still be a hazard.
    Remind them that the phone has not been in any adverse conditions, extreme temperatures, or abused in any way but that you just merely used it normally. (I'm assuming that's the truth?)
    If they're good about it they should replace the broken phone for you; but unfortunately there's little chance of repairing your current device.

  • I have a really high score on a game app on the ipad 2 ... Can I sync or transfer ONLY that game to my ipad 3 somehow ???

    I have a really high score on a game app on my ipad 2 ... I want to sync, or transfer, or move somehow,  the app with the high score to my ipad 3... Can I do it without syncing the whole ipad?? Or is there another way to get the game app to my "3" ???

    You would need to backup your data to iTunes or iCloud and then restore from backup on the iPad 3. Content should reside on your computer or you can reload apps from the cloud. I don't believe you can just restore one app

    No it's not true.  It's one big practical joke being played on you by Apple.

  • I keep getting a notification that says "Google Talk authentication failed"...does anyone know how to get rid of this?  I tried looking for it in the apps but not really sure what google talk is or how to get rid of this message that keeps popping up.

    How do i get rid of the message that keeps popping up that says "google talk authentication failed"????

    funwidowlady,
    Good afternoon!  I'm glad I can be here to help with this error. In the device this application is identified only as 'Talk', so that be more familiar to you. First I recommend opening the 'Market' app on your phone, then Menu>My Apps to see if this application requires an update. It will display a list on top of all applications that need to be updated. If nothing exists, tap 'Home' and go into 'Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Talk, then tap 'Clear Cache' and 'Clear Data' to remove the history of that application and stop the notifications.  The app will remain on your phone for future use, if you desire to take advantage of it.

    Thank you!

  • Distorted sound at high vol

    This usually only occurs while playing games. If my system volume is set at max, the sound either cuts out or is distorted. Keeping the system volume around medium (and using speaker volume) works well enough that this is not really a big deal. But I would still like to know if this is normal. I have an Audigy notebook card with latest drivers.

    I highly doubt the speakers are the source of your problem... I would blame either the sound card or the game. The game might have it's volume turned to max, and that might be distorting the signal. Or it could be with the card, with it being turned up. It could also be that you're hearing the infamous "snap crackle pop" which can sometimes sound like distortion. That's not really distortion at all, just the card being retarded. I'm not sure of any fix for that as of yet.
    distortions happens when the signal exceeds the signal to noise ratio of what it's being sent through. If the signal has a dB range of 00 Db, and the sound card (for instance)has a signal to noise ratio of only 85 dB, then you'll get distortion. This means that the sound waves are literally being cut off at their peaks...so they somewhat resemble square waves. Distortion can occur at low volumes, too. For example, if you could indefinitely turn up your system volume, and kept your speaker volume very low, you would have distortion, but the sound still wouldn't be loud. You would be distorting the sound at the sound card, and that sound is then passed on to whatever device is next int he chain.
    SO in short, find what's distorting, if something is indeed distorting.
