Weird Sound Issue

I have a 5th gen 30 GB Classic. I will admit that I got it second hand over eBay but the only issue it had until now was a hair line crack in the screen. About a month or so ago it started giving me sound in only one ear. It is NOT the headphones. I tested them on another device and they're working properly. I find that when I push down on the headphone jack hard enough it gives it a tidbit of sound but nothing more. Obviously I don't want to damage my iPod further by abusing the headphone jack like that, so I'm at a loss as to what to do. Does anybody know what's wrong with it and how do I fix it? Thank you for your time.

Yes, I know it probably would. However, it probably wouldn't cost more than a modern gen iPod, so I'd rather just get it repaired than spend the money on a new one. The apps are cool and all but I'm content with just having a bunch of music. Anyway, thanks for the help. Any other suggestions?

PowerMac G5 weird sound issue: no sound online, otherwise fine

This is a very weird issue. Sound works fine on DVDs and audio/video files. But online, there's no sound. I've tried both FireFox and Safari, and tried reinstalling them, but no luck. Advice?

Hi Ronald, and a warm welcome to the forums!
First, Open Audio Midi App in Utilities & see if it's set to 44.1KHz, & the Audio Output setting.

X200 WEIRD SOUND issues

so I have an x200 that I recently purchased. It came with vista and I reinstalled xp seemingly with no problems... but now this has happened.
I installed all my drivers and thought my sound was working fine. However, when I would hibernate my computer and then turn it back on, the sound would suddenly not work. I thought it was an issue with my driver perhaps...
BUT I discovered that when I apply pressure on my laptop where the arrow buttons are, the sound will work and when I release, the sound will stop soon after. I tried to experiment if it was a combination of a couple specific buttons, but that doesn't seem like the problem.
Is there just an issue with the connection? How do I fix it?

I have the same problem

Weird sound issue. Windows sound splitting into two volume sliders and headphones stop working

So I am a network admin thus I am not exactly computer illiterate.
Normally my latop has one volume slider for Speakers and Headphones, however when exiting a game or unplugging/plugging in a usb device windows will suddenly split volume into two seperate sliders for speakers and headphones, it isnt doing it right this second, but it looks like it thinks my headphones are a headset when this happens.
After this happens my headphones stop working completely and only speakers work. To get sound back to normal I have to reset the computer, after I reboot everything is fine and it goes back to one volume slider. I am using a normal set of headphones no mic, no bluetooth.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

Logic pro 9 Instrument issues/ weird sound occurring!!

Hi guys,
I need some help here, I think I have a big issues here with my logic instruments. I just installed Logic pro 9 about a week ago, it's working fine until...
today when I load some of the Logic instruments (such as EFM 1 Synth, ES2, ES2 syth, or any other sytnh) from the library, there're some kind of strange/weird sound, kind of growling synth sound going on (weeeewww gurrrrrrrrt!), the volume level is also peaking out because of it. I still could play the instruments, but the weird growling sound doesn't stop, & the volume peak out even more!. the only logic instruments that works fine are Evb3 tonewheel organ, Utrabeat & Ev88 Electric piano.
Same things happen with most of my ESX24 instruments ( such as pop horns, guitar, orchestral, etc) weird growling sound (wew grrrrt).
Does anyone know what's happening???
Thank you

Hi Eriksimon,
Yes, indeed the noise stop when I bypass the instrument.
Yes the noise seems to have a steady defined pitch & the character of the noise is the same as the affected instruments.
No I haven't try to load different presets at that time (it freaks me out already!)
No I don't think I've made any tweaks/ adaptation to the environment (could you give me example?).
*But Just now, at this moment, I just try to open & run my Logic 9 again & load the problematic instruments, The Noise's gone, I tried every instrument that has that noise problem (try different presets now) , it works fine, the noise gone (it surprise me). BUT STILL I'm afraid that this noise will occur again.
Do you have any idea ?,
Thank you

Strange sound issue on iPad2

my mom is having odd sound issues on her iPad 2 that i was able to somewhat fix. and it goes from fixed back to broken o.O
i thought it was interesting and worth mentioning, in case this happens to anyone else.
her iPad 2 is up to date on the latest iOS (5.0.1) and the issue occured while she was watching a video in YouTube. sound is totally off in all apps. in Settings>General under 'use side switch to' it is set to 'mute'. when going to Settings>General>Sounds the volume control for ringers will work and cause the ringtone to play, so it seems the speaker itself is fine. however it will only work there and for that short time. afterward sound will continue to remain off. the volume control on the side of the unit will bring up the on screen speaker icon, except it doesnt show the bar that usually goes up and down with the volume. and sometimes at the top of the grey box it will say 'sound effects'. ive also tried switching the mute on and off which changes nothing.
the one thing ive found that changes anything is the multi tasking bar volume control (double clicking the home button and then sliding all the way to the left, where it shows a screen orientation lock, brightness slider and a volume control bar). now the volume control bar is unfilled and doesnt show the dot that you can slide up and down to change the volume. however when i plug the iPad 2 into a computer (any computer seems to cause this) the volume control bar will suddenly fill and the dot will appear. now suddenly sound works in all apps and will change with the side control again as normal.
now heres where it gets even weirder!!!
sometimes when unplugging the iPad 2, after a short while volume will slowly fade out and be unresponsive again. the side buttons stop working and the volume control in the multi tasking bar will be unfilled and unresponsive. repeatedly plugging it in, going back to the multi tasking bar volume control and unplugging will eventually bring volume back. a couple times ive gotten volume to stay on and the volume bar to stay responsive by unplugging it while im in the multi tasking bar. but sometimes this is not the case.
for the record, ive tried 'turning it off and on again' and resetting all settings and erasing all content and settings (both with starting up from a back up on iCloud and PC, and starting up as a new iPad). ive used two different laptops, one with Windows Vista and one with Windows 7. the iPad is synced with one laptop but aside from using iTunes to back it up and for charging, ive not made any changes to the iPad using these devices. during the entire duration of my attempts to fix it, the iPad has been on no lower than 80% power. ive also called Apple and discussed this with an Apple Care representative. who suggested all the same things id already done, and walked me through all the fixes to make sure i didnt skip anything.
hopefully and most probable is that its just an issue with iOS 5.0.1. i also have an iPad 2 thats up to date with 5.0.1 and ive not had this issue, YET.
i just thought it would be beneficial to the community to share this issue and get word out that this is happening. i would like to hear everyones thoughts on this issue and if this has happened to anyone else. the Apple Representative that i spoke to had not heard of or had to deal with this issue so it sounds like its rather new or rare. though she did mention that this is not normal behavior for the device and might be a software issue.
id like to conclude with my love for Apple, and how user friendly iDevices are in general. ive had iPods from the very first generation and all of them still work (though the older ones cant be updated past a certain iOS). the few issues ive ever had were easily fixed with a visit to the Apple Store or searching on the Apple Support Communities. so as with before, i will remain positive and look forward to a bug fix in the next update.
-thanks in advanced for reading, and any comments

Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

Macbook sound issue after standby

Hello,
Bit random issue here..
This is not consistence but it is totally random. Randomly when i open the macbook lid when it comes out off standby by i hear a weird "ripping" sound issue i think its coming from left hand speaker or side. Im assuming its the speaker.
Its hard to explain its starts with a weird fuzzyness and then it turns into a rip type sound and stops.
It last about 2 seconds and is random and only happens after putting up lid.
Is this normal? any ideas?
thanks

Upgrade kernel to 3.1.5 still not fix the sound issue
On 12/14, I upgraded imagemagick, pcre, texinfo, virtualbox-modules, wxgtk with `pacman -Syu`,
after reboot, the sound comes back, everything works fine just like before
But on 12/16, I lost the sound again, only found these line in kernel.org
Dec 16 09:28:29 localhost kernel: [75508.452468] ice1724: Too long irq loop, status = 0xff
Dec 16 09:28:29 localhost kernel: [75508.452468] ice1724: Disabling MPU_TX
no matter how I tried to reproduce the upgrade on 12/14, still unable to fix the
issue, and those warning didn't show up again, I also boot into live USB to check
if this is hardware problem, but sound works normal in live USB
it's so weird...

HT4993 How do you turn the weird sound off when sending a text using the iPhone 4S

How do you turn the weird sound off when sending a text using the iPhone 4S?

Go to Settings-Sounds-Text Tone and change to None. You're referring to the sound when posting a message to someone else, correct? The only issue is if you set to none, you will not hear the incoming either.

Toshiba laptop hardware NO SOUND issue - I've tried everything!!! PLS help!

I have a Toshiba Satellite tablet laptop Model R25-S3513 model... the sound initially started acting weird, sounding funny like skipping, or fluttering (?) eventually laptop internal speakers stopped working all together.
I bought some head phones, they worked fine via head phone jack on front, for about 6 months... and then that went south too... I bought some external speakers to try on it, they work on my friends laptop, but not mine! Now the volume control won't even appear on screen anymore!
I've un-installed and reinstalled, updated drivers, rolled back the driver, went through the troubleshooting scenarios to no avail... and I am SO frustrated!
I have read that my laptop has an integrated sound card - does this mean I can't replace it?!!
I have read that I can enhance my sound by using a PCMCIA sound card or a USB sound card - but can I really enhance what isn't working in the first place??? What do I need to do here? I appreciate anyone's help at all!
Denise

I have this same issue. U205-s5034. Sound went out after an update to Windows XP. Tried many things, yet nothing worked. So I did a custom install of Windows 7, including all the new drivers. Still no sound. No device in sound Device Manager either.
Is it possible the integrated sound has died? I have tried installing the drivers in many ways, including from safe mode. Same results always. Just a speaker with an X and the note that there is no audio device.
Is it possible to replace just the sound hardware or is the fact that it is integrated mean I must replace the motherboard? I understand I could purchase a sound card? Any suggestions?

Speakers sound issue on Envy 14 Beats Edition

Hi all,
For few days now, my one year Envy 14 has a weird speakers sound issue. When the sound level passes over 50%, there is a lot of scratches and distorsion on the speaker, in that case, it is not usable at all.
Note that this issue does not happen on the jack outputs, with a headset, the sound is perfect, or it is as it also was on the speakers some days ago.
I'm posting here to be able to find the source of the issue. My Envy runs Ubuntu from the beginning, I've just tested with a old Ubuntu LiveCD and the problem is the same, so this is not a Ubuntu or software issue.
Now, my main question is does this come from the speakers themselves? From the audio board? From the main board? How can I diagnose?
Thanks for your help.

I have the same exact problem with mine. I have a problem with my webcam as well. They are both hardware problems and need to new parts. If I knew where to get them I would have have told you.

Pair of sound issues

I have two very weird and frustrating problems regarding sound on my iMac G5.
First, certain Flash content will not generate sound at all. The computer has no problem playing sound from movies embedded in websites or mp3s, etc but for some reason embedded Flash content will not play sound. This problem has cropped up before and then went away and seems to have returned. Several uninstalls and reinstalls of both Flash and Shockwave have proven fruitless. No sound is produced whether speakers are plugged in or not. So it seems to be a software issue. My PowerBook with 10.4.2 handles the content without issue.
Second, the optical portion of my audio-out port seems to be shot. For a while I was successfully using a miniTOSLink adapter to connect some Klipsch ProMedia speakers to my iMac. One day they decided to emit nothing but a loud and annoying static when connected via optical. Connection via analog headphone jack yields normal operation (barring the above problem with Flash).
And of course my 90 days was up in June.

I too have had sound issues. I haven't tried the flash and shockwave things you have. I basically don't use them. I have had sound problems with the headphone jack/optical audio out port. I have had my G5 iMac 20" about 1 week and right from the start the sound would jump from external speakers to internal speakers. Most of the time the sound comes from the internal speakers. I opened System Preferences/Sound and I can watch the output jump back and forth between internal and line out. I called Apple Support and they got me to zap the PRAM and reset the Open Firmware. It didn't help. They told me it looks like a short in the port and to take it in to a authorized dealer for repair. Before I do that I have ordered a Xpress Digital Optical Cable from Griffin Technologies hoping this can solve the problem because you and others here have said Digital Optical cables help. There is another thread here about external speakers not recognized and one person says what worked was a combination of digital optical cable and certain adapters. I do have sound from my externals though because I happen to have a iMic. It is an external sound card that connects from USB. That is working fine. I would like to have the digital optical output though.

Weird sound in start up and No bootable device

Hi,
Since last night I cannot start my laptop. When I try to start, it makes a weird sound and then no bootable device. The Hdd test and bios does not recognise the hard drive either. I tried forced restart and also tried reseating it. But it still makes the weird noise in the start up and no bootable device. Please heLp.

Sounds like the hard drive has failed and will need to be replaced. If you are still in warranty HP will send a replacement. If not a retail laptop SATA hard drive can be used. Just be sure to get one of at least equal capacity as the original in order to use Recovery Discs. It can be larger, but not smaller capacity.For instance if you have a 500GB hdd you could use a 750GB hdd but not a 320GB hdd.

Weird sound from laptop (GP60)

Hey, guys! I have a question about my laptop that I'm hoping one of you might be able to answer.
So I have a GP60 laptop that I bought manufacturer-refurbished. So far, I love this laptop! I'm glad that I can actually do some form of gaming again! But I have a slight hiccup with this computer that kind of concerns me.
Occasionally, my computer will emit a weird noise. It's very brief, lasting maybe half a second, but it sounds like the weird electronic noise out of Slenderman. Even when I have my headphones plugged in, it will still make the noise outside of them. I don't think its a motherboard issue-- my last computer actually did have a problem similar to this and it really was the motherboard, but the sound and manifestation of this is a bit different. I've opened up my task manager and watched it while I'm doing stuff, and I've noticed a pattern of sorts.
It will only occur under one of two-ish conditions:
- If I'm either streaming/playing music [mostly when I'm either using Pandora, Spotify, or the windows music app (NOT WMP)].
- If I'm playing a taxing game (I play minecraft quite a bit though and it's rarely happened then. However, I was playing SWTOR to test my theory and it started doing it again)
It may have happened once or twice outside of those circumstances, but I don't really remember. Also, each weird sound is accompanied by a spike in my CPU processing. It'll spike to anywhere in the 75-100% usage range. I haven't really noticed any drop in performance per se, but I'm just concerned that this could be a sign of a bigger problem. I was very hesitant to get a refurb, and I'm concerned that this could be the start of my worst dream come true. I have two theories: it could either be the motherboard (again, wah) or maybe my sound driver... but I have no clue to be honest with you. I would appreciate any ideas/help that could be offered!
Specs:
MSi GP60
Windows 8.1 64 bit
Intel core i5-4200M
Nvida GeForce GT 740M/2GB DDR3
SoundBlaster Cinema/AudioBoost
Memory: DDRIII (L) 8GB
HDD: 750 GB

I guess it's the electrical interference from CPU too, when it switches the state.
If you're not using Bluetooth or WiFi, disable them as well to see if this improves.

HP Envy 4-1215dx Sound Issues

Hi, I own an HP Envy 4-1215dx. It's a great unit overall, but I am having problems with the audio on it. From the day I took it out of the box it will randomly spew out quick bursts of buzzing/crackling/digital noise whenever I try and play some sort of media, it will appear to have stopped for a while but then start doing it again, it is quite intermitten. It does it with sound from the internet such as youtube, playing MP3's, and even in Games. It is extremely irritating and I need to find a solution. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the audio drivers and have had no luck. Doing a quick google search, I found out that there are several other people with the same problem, yet the only answer they get back is to reinstall the drivers. I have done this already and it does not fix the problem. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hello Livingedge,
I understand that the driver is an older version. This is the version that is available for your specific product on the HP Driver & Software page. I have been able to locate a driver that is also IDT, but the release date is 2013-09-30. I have included that driver here for you 'IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver'.
If this driver fails to resolve the sound issue, I would keep an eye on the 'HP Driver & Software' page. This is where if and any updates are available, will be provided here.
Thank you.
I worked on behalf of HP
