One source of hum is from bad rectifiers in the car alternator, if this problem stops when key is turned to accessory then have your alternator checked for bad rectifiers.Good luck and please don't forget to rate.

    Well, in that case it now sounds like an internal breakdown of components , which you can do nothing to fix except to pull the unit and bring it to repair shop, sorry.Good luck!

The amp gets power, however the speaker emits a constant whining sound

Sounds like the output capacitors are breaking down, or you have a faulty pickup causing feedback, this can also be caused by bad cables close to ac power causes hum and distortion.

High pitch noises.

It sounds like feedback hum. Most likely caused by the settings on your computer. Try adjusting all the sound settings. Especially record settings.

Humming sound when I record

Sounds like it might be feedback from another source or perhaps a loose connection. Try moving the microphone away from power sources or anything that might cause feedback, such as speakers etc.

I have Sansui G-9000, and its phono stages emit a buzzing/distorted sound even if a turntable is not connected. There is also no sound coming from the left speaker (I already tried switching the speakers,...

The Phono section has a very high level of amplification and so the audio input is very sensitive. So a possible faulty/loose grounding of the input can create a HUM which can be due to even a poor shielding of the input from stray AC factors. So you need to check for the these factors that can bring in the hum , you can confirm by isolating the phono circuit and working to the faulty stage.
Also it can be due to a faulty power supply - non filtering in DC- to the phono preamplifier.Finally faulty capacitors in power and feedback circuits can be a reason- check the negative feedback circuit which can be an op-amp with a feedback , check the capcitors here as a higher amplification can also be a reason.- check the preamp IC.

PYLE PT2001X 3300 Watt Professional DJ Power.just had question about running this amp in bridged mode 4 ohms, here's some amp info 3300 watts total power bridged in 1 ch only.1650 each ch in stereo mode...

Hi,

In bridge mode the minimum load will be 8 Ohm.
If you are using 4 Ohm speakers, it will mean you will give each side of the amplifier a 2 Ohm load.
Thats to much for this model.

Kind regards,
Gerard

You need to take a closer look really, see if anything on the power supply board inside has melted, burned, popped, etc.

Alesis M1-Active left speaker emitts a very high pitched wine that sounds like feedback

have your built-in amp checked for trouble. there should be trouble in the output stage feedback loop. this is something to be done by a repair technician
