Hi all,
I'm currently having a issue where my headphones would produce static whilst audio is playing (Like watching a YouTube video), I can still hear the video but it has static which continues for a few seconds after the audio stops.
It happens on all videos I watch on YouTube, Just as a easy example.
The headphones work fine as I use with my phone and PC.
I believe the cause is with 'DSP Manager' which comes with the ROM I use.

None of the settings in the app are enabled.
Is there a way to stop this?
Thanks, J.
AW: Static sound from headphones problem
The solution of your problem could be that you are charging your device. If i have headphones plugged in while charging, I always hear some background noise.

Does anyone hear background noise when using headphones/ear buds? I'm using klipsch S4 ear buds and can hear electronic background noise especially when viewing a web video (where it's constant). If I watch a movie with moboplayer, there is far less noise to the point you probably don't notice it unless you really listen for it. So that part is good, but you tube videos seem to be the worst and the noise is definitely a hardware feedback type that you typically hear when something isn't shielded well.
Thoughts?

YouTube compresses audio pretty aggressively, especially below 720p, so that could be a large part of it. Try downloading a FLAC or other uncompressed audio file and playing it back and see if there is still background noise.
I tend to hear background noise if the wifi is currently transferring data, so it happens with Youtube (it's compression artifacts - you can hear it while paused) or DLNA streaming. Once the Wifi transfer stops, the background noise disappears. So, it does sound like bad filtering to me as well.

Wifi related noise sounds plausible to me. Thanks!

I hear noise with my wired headphones often. Funny thing is that when I reboot, the noise disappears, even when doing/using the same apps I was using before the reboot.
I've heard a similar noise ever since the time I bought my Xoom. It only occurs when I'm using a wired headset (I tried a couple and it still persists), but it stopped with the 3.2 update.
The weirdest think was that it actually made my music sound better.
I use JVC marshmallow headphones & I never hear any other sounds but crystal clear music or whatever.

Having the xoom plugged in causes a lot of static

I am having issues with intermittent audio crackling when playing music through the stock music player and Google Music when the screen is on. The issue occurs when playing audio through both the speaker and headphones. The issue happens more frequently when navigating around the phone's interface. Turning the screen off seems to solve the issue.
The issue does not occur with WinAmp.
I know the international version has audio crackling issues with the screen turned off, but this is the opposite behavior. Is anyone else experiencing a similar issue, or have any thoughts about how to fix it?
I hear static when an audio line-out is plugged into the headphone jack with the music NOT playing. With the music playing, the static goes away. I am using PowerAmp. I've never tried the stock player and PowerAmp doesn't crackle when playing.
FWIW - you'll often hear faint static when your usb is charging from a noisy computer instead of the A/C wallwart.

The charger I'm using has no problems with GS 2 nor the Galaxy Note.

I tried PowerAmp and there is no crackle. I am concerned that the crackle is a sign of an underlying hardware issue on my phone if no one else is experiencing similar issues.

For me the issue occurs whether or not the phone is charging.
Has anyone else noticed crackly audio with the M? Mine has crackly sound when playing music through the phone speaker, bluetooth connected to my car, or wired to a portable speaker. It does it with Pandora, YouTube and Slacker. With it effecting pretty much anything anytime, anywhere, and at any volume level (I thought it might have just been turned up too high), I am lead to believe it is the phone and not an app or peripheral issue. Is there a fix for this? I would hate to have to return this great device for such a small issue, but Pandora is my most used app and I am very annoyed by this problem. Thanks in advance!
I have no problem with sound on my phone even at loudest setting on speaker have you tried messing with the equalizer settings to see if it helps.

I don't have any issues with music, but I do have crackling the last few days on voice calls. I have not yet confirmed whether signal strength is a factor.
Has anyone else noticed the sound is a little distorted through headphones whenever the phone is charging up? I noticed it while playing my mp3's in the work van via the aux input, the sound kinda squeaks and squeaks while the phone's on charge. It's perfectly fine when unplugged, and the player used makes no difference. Thinking it's a hardware quirk.

Hi,
Now that you mention it,I heard something similar when I was charging it on the move the other day.
I will listen out more carefully next time.
I thought it was the vehicle that I was driving that was squeaking.
If you listen to a song with clear breaks in the sound, you can hear the squealing die out as the sound does.
Just tested but I don't hear any noises :thumbup:

While charging?
When I use my Bose QC15 headphones with my phone, if I launch an app or press one of the nav keys, I hear a clicking sound through the headphones, like it is turning off and on almost.. I know that sounds odd, but I was wondering if anyone else has this issue and has a possible solution?
Also, when audio is playing this noise stops. It is only when there is no audio playing.
Thanks.
Hi, I'm experiencing the same thing. I bought earphones by Aukey on Amazon and they were doing this clicking that got progressively worse as the call went on. I now bought a pair of Gwee buds. Same problem. Both sound fine on regular audio video and on other phones...

I can report the same problem as well. I have a pair of RHA T20, and I can hear the clicking sound whenever I enable "reverberation" in Viper4Android. Maybe it's your sound setting?
Odds enough, it happens only one the ear that has the Mic attached to it on the Green buds. I'll try the aukeys to compare. I check the sound settings and get back to you too

6P noise also
I use my 6P in my car for navigation and occasional music. I use a cable to connect from the headphone jack to the aux in on the car's sound system. Very often, but not always, I get what sounds to me like cross over noise, playing on both channels. Rhythmic ticks and taps, some buzzes and so forth. I believe it to be digital noise, bleeding in from god knows where. It corresponds to touchscreen activity, and only occurs when the 12v adapted power supply is plugged into the phone. Unplug the USBc and all is quiet, except for what is supposed to be coming through.
I've searched quite a bit and this thread is the closest I've found to my experience. Any ideas?
