Crackling noise from speakers

You may have a short or open condition in the wire/cable connecting the two. Especially the ground connection, if it gets disconnected, the the main signal wire will pick up every stray electric/electronic noise near the wire.

It seems you needs more power to maintain the level of good sound.Maybe the maximum volume is 30 - then the mininum is 15 and you can't hear any cracking sound. If you exceed 15 the minimum, as you said starting 17 - 20 you hear crackling sound .Then you reach ,what they called the "cliping level"so much distortion and crackling sound,your stereo too small to accomodate .You must add a power amplifier so crackling will gone and to fit your listening pressure...

Hope it may help you;

Allan, It sounds like you have what is called a ground loop. A ground loop can occur when two pieces of equipment are connected together through a home or buildings safety ground through the same power source. For instance, your PC is connected to a power source through the AC adapter or plug, and your external powered speakers are receiving power from the same power source. The surrounding cables as well as the AC adapter(s) can act like an antenna. This will cause a low hum or crackling that would be audible through the speakers or headphones.

You may want to try plugging all components into a power strip so they are all on the same circuit. You may also want to be sure that the AC adapter cables are not not laying or running across other electrical components plugged into a different socket.

If you get the same hum through your headphones check to see if the headphones were manufactured with shielded cabling. A shielded cable is made with a wire mesh around the outside that helps reduce electrical noise. Hope this helps a little. Thanks!

Sounds like you could have a blown amp/speaker or you've got a short in your speaker lead. Typically, when there's not enough resistance on a wire is when you start getting the crackling noises.

The crackling (which sounded a little like a geiger counter) which I could hear when the oven was NOT running was coming from the speaker (where the beeps come from). I unplugged the oven, found the little speaker on the circuit board, yanked one of the wires off of it, and the crackling was be gone.

possible reasons:

Impedance mismatch
wiring is grounding out on frame/metal
speaker isn't OEM and is slightly "pinched" thus causing cone distortion

One of these three will be your issue.

Also, you may remove the speaker and leave it hanging with the wires attached. Knowing that no wiring is shorted and nothing is disturbing the cone, try running your stereo. Same crackling problem? It may be an impedance issue or you reversed the polarity on your speaker.

It will require some work but the solution is there if it was working before.

if its a poping sound usually means speakers are going bad,crackling sound means the speakers are not grounded properly.this video might give you hint as to whats going on.

That is a common symptom of not properly grounding of negative side of the output of power amplifier section.Just resolder all component parts joint in power amp.sectiton and double the solder all negative ground.Also clean the pots of all volume controls and selector with a lighter fluid or desame that fluid so whatever sound or crackling noise eliminated and works normal again.. Hope it may help you;;

Hello,

That because maybe due to your itunes player which the installation got error..please try another player other than Itune or play it in windows media player or some other player which you think good player.

Or try reinstall your player or update it.

if this not resolve the issue, then verify the connection of your sound card maybe got grounded to other components making the sound crackle..Or you may try attached a grounding wire from your stuff directed to the ground or attached in any metal that is connected to the ground to eliminate noise.

please tell me what ever result for further analysis

check audio cables wiggle them around if no difference in sound check other inputs if they all crackle call for service it sould be under warranty probably in the speakers or the input board
