Static on HK395 satalite speakers

My satalite speakers are picking up static/crackling noise, especially when playing music. Could this be related to the sub woofer electronics inside or the sat.speakers themselves? What could i check to fix problem.

SOURCE: static noise coming out of speakers

What sort of computer do you have? Is it a laptop or desktop? Many laptops have this problem and it is quite widespread in laptops. The crackling or humming noise could be a result of interference from the mains power signal.

If it's a laptop, try running it on battery alone (take out the mains power cord). My laptop has this kind of noise in speakers when running on mains electrical supply, but it goes away like magic when I run it on battery.

A more long-term solution is to buy a 'Ground Loop Isolator' and insert it between your computer and the speakers/earphones. They are quite cheap and you could get it for under £10. It removes all static noise and you'll hear crystal clear sound.

SOURCE: I have been experiencing static

There have been problems with Dell's with the crackling and it's in the PC, not the speakers. You can confirm whether it's the speaker system or the PC by plugging in a headset. If it's OK on the headset then it is the speaker system, but if you get the noise on the headset then it's the PC.

IF it's the PC, several things to do, (1) update the video drivers to the latest version. If no new version is available install the version that is available. (2) check the sound set up and make sure no "enhancements" are selected. We've seen problems related to enhancements being enabled.

My Roland FP8 plays very quietly through its own speakers, through an external amp & speaker and through the earphones. There is a hissing/crackling/static sound too from the speakers. Anyone

A number if things can be wrong with it, from the audil preamp to the the audio amplifier. Even as simple as a bad volume control. Does the actual noise change patterns when you move the volume?

Crackling static noice

Hi Roovejet.

The capacitor 104 is 0.1uf ceramic has no reading with analogue multimeter in any range of ohms scale.
if it read any of ohms value ,it is bad.
please check the large electrolytic capacitors too and loose connection for the board and.if you have volume controllers clean it with alcohol or contact cleaners.
if your device is older than 5 years it is time to change all the electrolytic capacitors.its sound like foolish but it brings new life and same quality when your buying time to the sound system.


regards.

Hi

The problem is with the amplifier itself. Crackling is usually capacitor related and you will need to have the amp checked over to properly identify the cause.

Some amps are also prone to pick up static from other electrical items which can also cause these problems. I had a crackling issue with an old Crate amp of mine which turned out it was due to being too near a computer/monitor so it is worth eliminating these things as a possible cause before having the amp checked.

Hope this helps. Thanks for using FixYa.

Static from right from speaker

The noise is in the pre-amp stages of the Denon AVR. It might be caused by bad capacitors.
