First adjust the fade and balance, checking each speaker for this issue. if they all continue to cause static when turning up the volume, then it is either the connections are crimped poorly, speaker connections are not secure at speaker or just a faulty volume control knob

    The problem is, probably, with the volume control knob. Electronically speaking, it is a potentiometer, which over the long term in the dusty confines of your dash builds up residue on the contacts. Buy some spray cleaner at Radio Shack, remove the cover from the radio (making sure the unit is unplugged from the power source), spray the contacts, work them around a little to remove the residue. This should fix the problem.

The volume on the radio is staticky when turning the volume up or down. How can I fix it myself? It is a 1960 Magnavox stereo console.

Yes. Get a can of tuner cleaner. Remove the knob and with the stereo off spray the cleaner down the shaft. Rotate the control a number of times. Replace the knob, turn the unit on and check it. Most of the time that'll do it.

This ihome has been playing staticky noises.. It's really annoying PLEASE HELP ME.

Speaker is "blown up" because you have played the volume too loud, im not sure if its expensive or it has hq sound, but you should buy a different one, if you wanna play loud music you should get a bigger one. BTW NEVER play at max vol. or it WILL break if u use it too long.

My Korg c15s has a lot of grating staticky noises when played ....I'm told it cannot be repaired as Korg no longer makes parts for this model?

I have a Korg C-15s and also experiencing loud crackling sounds when I turn it on. The problems seems to be either the sliding volume control or the amplifier itself. Honestly though, I believe the issue is the volume control. I opened my piano to get a closer look and attempted to clean the contacts on the volume. Unfortunately after cleaning the contacts, the crackling sounds became somewhat worse. After I turn the piano on, the volume control is generally rendered useless......volume set to low volume and the noise is quite loud and other times the volume control is set high and get very low volume crackling noise. No real consistency. The noise does diminish after a few minutes but so does the piano sounds to an inaudible level. There were a couple of instances where I turned it on and surprising enough, no no noise and perfect sound. For these reasons I believe the issue is within the volume control and not so much the amplifier. I have an electronics background and noticed that the volume control is very unique in design and is not something that can be substituted with another volume control from other sources.

My recommendation is to check the sound quality of the audio from the RCA L/R audio outs on rear of the piano by connecting to a stereo receiver. If it sounds fine you're in luck. If the crackling sound does not diminish after a few minutes like mine does, I would suggest disconnecting the internal speakers and using the audio out only. You can connect a pair of studio monitors or high quality computer speakers, preferably with a small subwoofer to deliver the full audio range and deeper tone of a real piano. I'm currently using a basic pair of Logitech computer speakers and is quite acceptable until I can afford a high quality set of monitors or relocate my piano closer to my high quality Yamaha receiver.

I hope this info helps a bit.

Sound is coming out like broken speakers when using stereo input

The sound card would almost certainly fix the problem. One thing to do is to try a program like Audacity which will help you determine where the problem is. Then try it with your mic setup as it is.

Pcchips A13G+ motherboard sound issues

You may not have a choice. The jack could be loose or have a bad solder joint. If the microphone is "staticky" on this system but not on another, then increasing the volume will only increase the static.

You can try a condenser microphone. Condensers require their own power (battery) and output a MUCH higher signal. High enough for the Line-In jack.

If you are using the microphone for voice chat or internet phone or gaming or similar, I STRONGLY suggest a USB headset, such as you can get from Logitech. You wouldn't believe the quality difference.

Stereo volume doesn't effect Aux input volume

in a car stereo system, when you select line input, it usually assumes the device you are connecting has its own volume control. if you really want to use your cars volume knob, an FM transmitter might do the trick.
