YAMAHA 2G POCKETRACK NOISE PROBLEM I believe it's not firmware on the yamaha, or mechanical problems. When first hitting record, if you have the unit set up to show record levels before hitting record a second time, (by turning off the ALC in the voice setting area) you will see the levels bouncing around even if the unit is set to record at low levels In either the settings or manually lowering the settings with the side buttons. The unit is getting some kind of crosstalk within itself. It's a failure inside the unit and not mic related. It cannot be fixed by reformatting or changing what type of mode, (PCM, MP-3, etc) you choose. Make sure you have chosen the right battery setting for your choice of battery. Try removing the battery for 24 hours, then put it back in and reformat. If that does not help, then you need to return it for repair.
Did it ever work right? When did the problem start?
Echoes:
There are many DSP modes with this unit. Echoing voices is probably one of them. This is a user setting. Look at the front panel for information regarding that. I imagine the Straight/Effect button might change it.
Have you read the manual and followed the specific menus for setting up the DSP modes?
Screeching, Scratchy Sound: I don't think this is related.
Did it ever work right? When did this problem start?
Is it from all sources? All channels? All DSP modes?

It sounds like the woofer part of the speaker is bad, while the tweeter is still good. You are going to have to replace the speaker. Speakers are generally sold in pairs, so it would be best to replace both rear speakers at the same time.
A scratchy sound may indicate that your speaker is clipping, or worse, blown. Make sure you are not running too much power to the speaker, or you run the risk of destroying your subwoofer. Reduce the power and see if the scratchy noise has gone away. If not, you may have damaged your voice coils by putting too much power through the speaker.
Hey ajn1n1 we need to fine where the tinnyness is coming from Lets do a test shall we,
hook up your voice matched polks to your front left and right speaker outputs on your amp to see how they sound as mains. if you hear tinny then its the speakers. sometimes speaker need to be broken in a bit.
hook up your main front left and right speakers to your rear outputs. if you hear the tinnyness then its the output of that channel on the amp or a setting. Newer amps let you change speaker sizes in the menu so that it can change over the crossover for that channel.
This is going to be a problem either with the sound card malfunctioning after the machine warms up, or feed back from the speakers due to a wiring issue. Either way, this is a hardware problem, and you shouldn't have this or any problem with the machine, especially with it only being 10 days old. Take it back for an exchange. Demand an exchange and don't let them give you the run around. When you get the new machine, you will see that you shouldn't have any problems with it for years to come. Also, don't let this bother you about Dell machines, they're one of the best machines on the market. Just like everything else, there are a few lemons.
Try the speakers on another PC with good working sound. This will indicate either a speaker problem or a sound card issue.
If speakers work ok on 2nd pc, then you have a sound card issue on your pc. If speakers are still scratchy on 2nd pc.. check the metal connector end, make sure it is clean and shiny. If there is any rust or other oxidation, clean it off with a very fine grade of sand paper
It sure sounds like to me that your sound properties got messed up some how, Go into your control panel and look up your sound card or sounds. Now once in you settings, You can set them the way you want to hear it, Or you can use the default setting, That would set it back to original factory settings and back to normal, It just sounds like someone changed the settings by accident, That should get your speakers back to normal, You will also notice that there a many settings in your audio properties that can change the way the system sounds thru the speakers. If that don't help the problem let me know we will get it right if you can 't get it.... thanks bear001
Are the speakers old? The only thing that can make a random scratchy noise on the speakers as far as I know is a dirty volume knob. Try turning it all the way up and all the way down (with nothing playing) and see if that helps. If it does, blow them out with some compressed air.
I'm thinking your issue is probably software / driver related though, does the scratchiness happen in other programs? WinAmp? Windows Media Player? .. if it does, you've narrowed it down to a driver-related issue, go to your sound hardware's manufacturer website and download the latest drivers.
It sounds as if you have got your inbuilt microphone active and it is amplifying the sound coming from your speakers, try muting the microphone off through your sound or speaker icon normally on your task bar on right hand side, this happened to me when i first installed a web cam and set up the microphone volume.
Hope this helps, other than re installing sound card drivers.
