Super weird crackling sounds from speaker

Hello .. I have just been sent an LG S1 laptop and I have installed arch on it successfully. Only thing is, main speaker doesnt work. I know its functionnal, cause I had heard it from the initial vista install. Now, the headphones jack does work. And also, I use to own a very similiar but somewhat lower end model, the LG T1, which uses basically the same drivers and all, but the sound did work on that one.
Now what worries me a bit is that from time to time ill hear odd crackling sounds from the speaker. At one point, when I was trying to make XGL work with KDM, it did it to the point I thought my laptop was gonna explode.
Anyway, the fact that the speaker doesnt play sounds I can kinda live with, might just be a configuration issue; the crackling sounds howevevr, even though they rarely happen are like nothing ive ever heard or seen or whatever and they kinda worry me. ..
any ideas guys ?
(the best way I can describe it would be like what an "explosion" sound on an old nintendo or other 1980 game console sounded like.. like a broken up saw wave .. very odd)

again if it means anything, I had an LG T1 not so long ago with relatively the same hardware for audio and I don't recall kernel 2.6.22 causing any problems. Only booboo with that one was that pluggin in headphones did not shut off the "external" speaker.
Now, since then I have gotten this new S1 model because the T1 had an unresolvable LCD screen issue and I got screwed by the vendor and its long story but they sent me this much higher end model, and the sound doesnt work on that one - but I cant compare with previous kernels because none other have ever run on this one, and I cant compare also because its not the same machine.
But like I said, the T1 and S1 probably have very different main boards, but the sound "hardware" is supposed to be the same - and one the T1, Im pretty sure that 2.6.22 gave me the sound I wanted.
Guess ill try downgrading later see if it works ... right now im planning a move to 64 bits anyway, and am waiting for the newer ati fglrx with AIGLX support to be released to do so ..

TS5180 No sound sound from speaker recently upgraded to iOS7.0.2

No sound sound from speaker recently upgraded to iOS7.0.2

I have this problem too, .
I upgraded my iPhone4 today. Immediately my phone is defunct, and I cannot find any workaround listed anywhere online for the phone, only for the iPad2.
Reset All Settings as per iPad2 advice had no effect except to make me have to re-enter all my settings again.
The volume bar is greyed out in Music settings, and has no visible point on the bar where the volume is defaulted to.
The greyed out bar doesn;t change when the volume buttons are pressed.
However, sometimes the ringer volume logo pops up and changes when I do this, but not always.
However when I call the phone, the ringer is always at full volume, as it was immeditely prior to upgrade.
When I press either up or down volume button the ringer silences completely, immediately, and cannot be resurrected by any manouvers.
Only another call will make the ringer sound.
When I answer the call, the phone is mute though the mute button is not highlighted.
Toggling the mute makes no difference.
Selecting Speaker mode makes no difference - it is mute.
Selecting either up or down volume buttons has no effect.
Using the Jack output is silent.
I cannot hear music, youtube videos, BBC news clips, or any alerts.
Vibrate is still working.
Trying not to get angry again with another Apple "UPGRADE" disaster - but frankly - I can't even make or receive a phone call - is this fixable???
PLease does anyone know how to dothis?
BTW, being iPhone 4, of course the Home button doesn;t work, so anything involving the Home button must be able to work with the Accessibility Home Button software.
Desperately: How do I downgrade to previous iOS 6 last version?

Hi PhiPsiVol354
corrupted CMOS occurs when there is strange problem happen to laptop
Not necessary that corrupted CMOS prevent laptop from booting , may laptop boot successfully but CMOS not recognize the component of your laptop like sound card or video card or any other part specification .
so you need to load default BIOS setting to CMOS , but it fails to load default BIOS because corrupted CMOS needs to be cleared first before loading default BIOS.
this work (clear CMOS) is done manually by connect jumbers together inside laptop motherbaord
OR
By using software like HIREN BOOT CD ( this is famous Repair cd ).
follow this steps:
1- Search internet to find and download (HIREN BOOT CD) cd image. or ask any friend may he has that cd
   ( prefered to choice v.9.7 or v.10)
2- If you download (HIREN BOOT CD) from internet ,Burn that cd image to cd with low writing speed.
3-Insert that cd into cd driver ,at laptop startup press F12 to boot from cd .
4-Menu appear , show:
   -boot from hard drive
   -boot from cd
   -load mini windows xp
select second option ( boot from cd)
5-another menu shows with numbers browse to find (BIOS/CMOS TOOLS)
enter that section you will find many tools select from them (KILLCMOS).
6-Run (KILLCMOS) tool , it will show confirmation message ( ARE YOU SURE WANT TO CLEAR CMOS),press arrow button to select (YES) , after clear cmos done , press ESC button to exit ,then press (ALT+CTRL+DEL) to reboot system , and immediately enter to BIOS setting by press F2 .
7-Load default setting by press (F9) and save change and exit (F10).
8- the system restart and enter to windows .
9- If process failed to solve the problem , Repeat it again.
Good luck
I hope this will solve your problem.

Crackling sound from right speaker - Envy 14 Beats edition

The right speaker on my Envy 14 Beats edition has a crackling/static sound when playing any sort of sound from it. I assumed it was a faulty speaker since its just the right speaker.. I've talked to HP support and they had me send it in.
After two weeks I got it back only to find that they simply changed some audio configurations in an attempt to fix it. Nothing has changed and the problem still exists.
Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if there is some sort of fix for this without me having to send it back to them to replace the speaker.

Hello tedebare73. I understand your notebook is making a weird sound from the left speaker.
Are there any other electronic devices (guitar amplifiers, cell phones, speakers) around the notebook? These can all cause very strange noises.
Try hard resetting the notebook as well. Here are the steps.
Shut down the notebook.
Remove the battery and AC power.
Press and hold the power button for 10-15 seconds three times.
Replace the battery and AC power.
Verify whether the problem persists.
Finally, if neither of the above have an effect try removing and reinstalling the driver. Here are instructions.
Go to your Device Manager.
Expand the "Sound, video, and game controllers" section.
Right click on your audio device and select "Uninstall."
Reboot the notebook. Windows will automatically reinstall the driver.
Verify whether the problem persists.
Let me know the results. Have a wonderful day!
Please click the white star under my name to give me Kudos as a way to say "Thanks!"
Click the "Accept as Solution" button if I resolve your issue.

IPod touch 4th gen - no sound from speaker dock

After upgrading my 4th gen iPod touch o iOS 5, the speaker dock no longer works. The dock charges the iPod, but iPod still continues to output sound from the internal speaker rather than the speaker dock. My iPhone with iOS 5 works fine on the dock. I have restored the iPod to a fresh state but the problem still persists
What could be the problem?
Thank you

Based on your troubleshooting, it would appear theat iOS 5 on the iPod made the dock incompatible. Have you loked at the dock manufactore's support site?

Weird tone sound from CD/DVD drive

Sometimes I hear a weird tone coming from my CD/DVD drive. It is a short tone that almost sounds like a warning tone. It does this when the drive is empty and it doesn't sound like any of the sound samples on the apple site. I have updated my firmware and recently I've had to do several force quits. Could this sound be related to that? I can still import CDs and play them in iTunes. I'm just concerned that this sound means the drive will stop working soon.
Thanks.

Hi,
My optical drive sometimes does that after a while. I don't know how to explain it, but it may be since the optical drive is not in use, it resets itself or wakes it up again. I'm not sure if this is correct.
But if you suspect it failing or you are still concerned, by all means contact Apple and see what they say.

Crackling sound from iTunes (iMac/10.7)

I've seen some reports of crackling with audio in iTunes from Windows users. I've noticed in the last few months (pre Lion and post Lion) that my iTunes occasionally but not always has a crackling sound with the music being played. This doesn't happen with other apps (Spotify/EyeTV). I can hear the crackling, play a different app with no crackling (same song on Spotify shows no issues) but iTunes persists.
Anyone else?

I've noticed over the last two months the same thing. I've been using iTunes for many many years and never had a problem. I am running Mac OS 10.7.2 on a 2010 27inch iMac and have ripped all my CDs which there are over 10000 songs in different bit rates. 256/320 and Apple Lossless. I only appear to have the crackling at 320 bit rate which is odd and its not every CD. I have tried re-ripping but the same issue persists. What rate are yours at?

7921G and absence of a sound from speaker.

Hi.
No sound from "ear's speaker". There is sound only when I switch on backside loudspeaker.
It is not hardware problem - two devices behave equally.
7906 works fine.
Test enviroment with CUCM 7.0.2 and basic default configuration.
What's wrong?

If it works when in speakerphone mode but not in handset mode, then definitely appears to be a hardware issue.
When you are in handset mode, does it show an icon that there is a headset plugged in?

Weird clicking sound from PB

This is not my week. Just replaced the harddrive on my PB due to a crashed drive. Before I changed the drive, I had this clicking noice, actually sounds like its coming from the speakers. But I do not think so, as no matter what I do with the volume it remains the same. Well, I did not really pay any attention to it as I assumed it was the faulty drive that caused it. Now when I changed the drive, ran a hardware test and all is ok and the PB is spinning on I realize the clicking noise is not gone. It seems to be coming from the right top side of the computer. Its sporadic, but, it never starts from the beginning when you fire the computer up. Seems like the computer needs to get warm first. Could it be the fan? How would I go about finding the source of this clicking sound, and is there a way to see if you have a faulty fan? Hope someone could point me in the right direction as I do not know where to go from here.
Thanks in advance
Fridge

I just plugged in a pair of earphones, and the clicking stopped. So I guess it is the speakers after all then. Is there anything I can do to make it stop? The speakers are in good condition and are not cracked or damaged by any means. Just this clicking sound from the speakers.

DM3-1035dx crackle sound from speakers while browsing

I just recently purchased a dm3-1035dx. I have noticed that if I am playing music in the backround (Itunes/WMP) and surfing the web, I hear a short crakle/static when I open a webpage. The speakers work fine when just music is playing. But if i open a webpage i hear a short crackle of static
The first dm3 I bought had the same problem. I returned it thinking it was defect. but this unit has the same problem
Specs:
AMD Athlon™ Neo X2 dual-core processor L335 - 1.6ghz
3GB DDR2 memory
Windows 7
IDT soundcard
Audio drivers updated. WLAN wireless modem is disabled. Crackle sound can be heard through earphones as well
Is the processor too slow?
How do i fix this??

Hello,
This is a known issue with almost all dm3. Check out this post : http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board/message?board.id=Hardware&thread.id=18960&view=by_date_ascending&page=1

No sound from speaker after upgrading?

I just upgraded my iBook Clamshell 466 SE Graphite with more memory and a new 60GB 7200 RPM Hitachi hardrive. I also upgraded from Panther to Tiger with a Black Retail DVD.
First, I installed the memory and then the following day, I installed the hardrive and OS.
After installing the hardrive myself (30+ steps with the ifixit.com instructions) and installing Tiger, I no longer have sound through the mono speaker although it was working perfectly before. It took me about an hour to carefully and meticulously disassemble and reassemble my laptop while removing tabs, screws, cables, etc. and being organized about it.
I'm not sure why I no longer have speaker sound but the headphone jack still works with sound. I double checked that the speaker cable was properly connected on both ends. I don't think it's a ciruit board issue since sound is still being delivered through the headphone jack.
Is there a way to run some sort of diagnosis as to my sound problem? How do I check my firmware version and is it possible that I need to update? I appreciate any help in advance...

I always try to leave the speaker cable connected to the logicboard (as well as the HD cable) during the installation of the new HD - simply remove the adhesive foil and let it slip through the hole in the EMI shield.
Otherwise you have to wrench at the cable to come out, and that might be the problem.
For testing purposes, try to connect a set of earphones with bare cable heads to the end of the cable or directly to the solder joints of the integrated speaker.

A weird ticking sound from the base of my macbook pro?

My macbook pro was bought in October 2011 but I think it's the Early 2011 edition. It's an 15 inch. My problem is that I hear a weird ticking noise coming from the base of the computer. It sounds like it is coming from under the keyboard and the mouse pad. I usually hear it whenever I move it around or place my hands on the hand rest spot(?) when I'm typing. Anybody know if I should be worried or how to fix it? The sound is really annoying... Let it be known that I baby my macbook pro. I have never dropped it on the floor or slammed it on a table or something.
Thank you in advance
P.S. If it matters, I'm running on
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2.

That could be the stepping motor in the hard drive making noise. Sometimes the noise means nothing, other times it could mean a problem with the hard drive and it could fail soon. Could be a fan out of allignment. If you can backup your data, do so. If you an get to an Apple genius bar, take it in and have the techs run some tests to find out what the noise is.

Have an iMac Early 2008 + Windows 7 and no sound from speaker out? SOLVED!!

Hello everyone,
So I'm pleased to say after over a month of trying to solve this annoying problem, it's been solved! Basically, if you have an iMac, Early 2008 edition (8,1) and Windows 7 and notice that the default microsoft driver gives very low sound and the new realtek drivers only give sound through the internal speakers... then this solution is for you!
What you'll need:
7-zip (www.7-zip.com)
Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Disc 1 (NOT Snow Leopard!)
Here's what you'll need to do, step by step:
1) Uninstall the Realtek Driver (latest version currently 2.37) by going to Control Panel / Programs / Uninstall Programs.
2) Reboot. Upon reboot, the system will automatically reinstall the default Microsoft drivers. You can check this in Device Manager (control panel / system / device manager).
3) Insert the original Leopard Disc 1 that came with your iMac (very important, as this is the only driver I know for sure will work). Point windows explorer to the folder: D:\Boot Camp\Drivers (assuming d: is your cd-rom drive).
4) Copy the "RealTekSetup.exe" file somewhere on your desktop. Do NOT install it!
5) Decompress "RealTekSetup.exe" by right clicking the file and choosing "7-zip decompress". Again, you'll need to make sure you installed 7-zip from 7zip.com prior to doing this.
6) Go to your Device Manager again, right click the sound device (which should be something like High Definition Audio) and choose "Update Device Software".
7) Select "Browse my computer for driver software" and direct it to the folder that you extracted the drivers to.
8) You now have sound through your EXTERNAL SPEAKERS!
This works because there is a bug that RealTek/Apple does not seem to want to fix where the newer version of the RealTek control panel detects the speaker out as line in and the line in as nothing! This forces drivers normally made for Vista or Vista64 to install on Windows 7, which work 100% great.
I promise you, if you have an Early 2008 iMac, this WILL fix your problem if you follow each step! Let me know if you have any questions!
Brad Levicoff

If you don't have any Leopard disk then just google for "Vista_R199.exe".
This driver works nice on Early 2008 IMAC. I also tried an earlier version, Vista_R182.exe but there sometimes was a horrible background noise which made listening to music impossible.
Just download and follow the instructions above in the first post.
Have fun.

Strange sounds from speaker...

I have been noticing when I play music, whether it's from my headphones or from the speaker, occasionally my music sounds like a radio station that is out of range, if you know what I mean. It's that mix of music and white noise put together, and it sounds like a radio station. It's not just the songs, it's whenever I type a message or lock the phone. It sounds like the speakers are blown, but they aren't because they are just fine after a few minutes. The sound is definitely not turned up all the way, and neither is the ringer. I have no idea why it is doing this. I've never heard it happen since before the update.

Have you tried the standard troubleshooting procedures such as powering your iPhone off and on and/or a 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?
If so with no change, the next step is restoring your iPhone with iTunes and be sure to sync your iPhone with iTunes immediately before doing so to update your iPhone's backup if needed.
If no change after any or all, give AppleCare a call at (800) 694-7466, or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.

Loud noise/crackling sound from speakers

I have a CoreDuo 2ghz MacBook that is about 5 months old. It's already been in the shop to have a faulty heat sensor replaced (it was randomly just shutting down).
I also have to take it in because the case has become really discolored in areas.
But now I have this awful problem whereby the speakers are sending out really loud crackly noise. It just sitts there sending out this awful noise. Even if I turn the sound off, the crackling still comes from the area of the speakers.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Chris

The problems been noted on this forum before - For Example ...but there's been no proposed solution. Perhaps when you bring your top case in for the discoloration issue you can have them check the wiring around the speakers.
