Buzz My system has suddenly developed a buzzing noise. It does not increase with volume or disappear when I mute it. It is very annoying and there over the audio all the time. Any ideas?

Hi,

Is this happening on all your speakers at once or just one particular speaker?

If its all of them it sounds like you have some sort of interference going on, probably a ground loop. Have you added any extra equipment to your home cinema set up like a new TV or a cable box?

If it is a ground loop issue you can solve it by giving all your equipment a common earth, i.e. plugging all connected equipment into the same electrical outlet with an extension block.

If this doesn't do it, post back and let me know. Also it might be worth checking if your warranty is still valid.

I purchased the 16 inch Ultimate Buzz Lightyear for my grandson, and it seemed to work fine, but all of a sudden he quit speaking. His lips continue to move, but no voice is coming out. We have changed...

We had the same problem - sound got quieter and quieter until Buzz was mute. My husband gave Buzz a sharp whack on his back where the AAA battery compartment is located and Voila - Buzz is speaking again.

A buzzing noise coming from inside the tv but still buzzes when on mute but doesnt buzz when tv guide is up on the screen or when a channel is showing what time it starts

plasma tvs buzz a lot, depending on screen brightness. its probably normal but if you can hear loudly over your volume, may be a bad board or plasma panel. from behind tv, left side = y board, right side = z board, middle = power board ---- bad panel can buzz from anywhere... if you hear all parts buzzing, its probably normal plasma noise

Turtle Beach x1's make an annoying beeping noise

If you're using the Play n Charge kit, then you might be hearing some buzz/whine through the USB power. Use the X1 without the Play n Charge. Does that help?
If you unplug the chat-controller cable from the X1 volume control box, can you now hear shots and explosions without the annoying beeping/buzzing noise? If so, then you may have a bad chat-controller cable, and you should have it replaced.

The noise is a hum or buzz. We've narrowed it

Hello,

By chance have you tried making sure the laptop is not too close to the speakers? Sometime you will get feedback when the source is to close to high powered speakers. Also, check your jack cord and make sure no splits/cuts are visiable and the plugs are fully inserted.

Good Luck and keep making great music. Aloha.

Annoying buzz!!!

be certain its not your cable providing the noise by being ungrounded .or interference from some other device connected or around tv.
disconnect everything except the cable.
turn off all dimmer lighting around tv. try now.
are you using a cable box, if so bypass ,plug cable directly into tv.
try sound again.
then remove cable and plug in dvd or vcr. and try audio now.
if it continues no matter,
its a warranty repair or just use external speakers ,cable boxes can control the audio to ext speakers.

Hitachi VCR F361

You need to change the Audio / Control Head, as well as the Pinch Roller of the machine. A worn out Audio cum Control Head will reflect in poor tracking and so will cause the above problems.

P61927 troubleshooting white noise

a similar problem was discussed here a while ago, ill quote from there: "This problem may occur when some TV's are connected to a volume control converter. To correct this, decrease the TV's volume until the buzz disappears. Now use the decoder/converter volume control and increase the sound to a comfortable listening level." hope it will help.
