Causes of noise in headphones:

You have connected the headphones to a computer or laptop, and instead of a pleasant and favorite music, hear an annoying hiss or crackle, who will like this? At the same time, you do not understand why there are noise in the headphones, where he appeared and what to do with it.

The most unpleasant in the effect of noise in the headphones is that it is very difficult to find out because of what it appeared and how to eliminate it. There can be a lot of causes of cod in headphones, the usual algorithm for finding the causes of bad work of the headphone is consistent in the potential sources of noise, their exception or isolating and further verification. In theory, it looks simple, but in practice such an algorithm is completely impossible.

For example, you have only one computer that is connected to the outlet, which is inserted into the concrete wall, the apartment has repairs and to install the computer to another place, or another room, is impossible, because There is no place for him. And so we can eliminate all possible causes of extraneous noise in headphones.

However, we can start with the easiest and most obvious potential causes of interference in the headphones, and there is a check of their result, we will not have the result, we will only hope that in the future this problem is self-sustaining. For example, the neighbors turn off the perforator, or after a while you buy a voltage stabilizer through which the computer is connected.

So, let's start searching for the cause of hissing in headphones.

Cable damage - very frequent cause of hissing and cod in headphones

Let's start with the simplest and most common cause of extraneous noise in headphones - a damaged cable or bad contact in the nest.

Carefully consider the headphone cable, it must be absolutely whole, it should be the same density inside inside. Spend the entire cable with your hands, perhaps in some place inside the cable was interrupted or once you beat the cable too much and the copper veins inside it broke off.

If, after a visual and tactile check, the cable does not cause suspicion, check the Jack, its articulation and the audio accession itself, in which you connect headphones.

Check out how well you insert Jack into the nest, it must come easily, with a slight click and keep it firmly. Jack should be in the nest to the end, should not be visible part of Jack.

Sometimes, due to the characteristics of the structure of the nest of about 1 mm, Jack remains visible, but no more and the phenomenon is rare.

Bad contact is one of the most common causes of noise and cod in headphones. Wipe the Jack with a dry soft cloth, it may be contaminated or covered with a layer of oxide.

If the wire suspicion does not cause and jack to the nest plugged, and the noise remains, you need to continue the search.

Technical condition of headphones - the possible cause of white noise

After checking the wire and Jack did not give the result, it is necessary to check the headphones themselves.

Carefully inspect them, perhaps recently they fell on a solid surface, cracks or other traces of damage appeared on the housing.

Be sure to try to connect headphones to another sound source, such as telephone, TV or tablet.

It is very important to understand and establish that the cause of white noise in the headphones is not the headphones themselves, but the device to which they are connected.

If, when connected to another device, white noise disappeared, it means that the headphones themselves are in order together with the wire and jack, and we go to the further search for the appearance of a cod.

Cheap columns can cause noise in headphones

If noise in headphones occurs when connected to a computer or laptop, to which inexpensive multimedia columns are connected at the same time, try to turn off the speakers and check whether the interference in the headphones disappeared.

The fact is that inexpensive columns are harvested from cheap items, but most importantly - when they are assembling, they are strongly saved on soldering, wires and the overall level of construction. Therefore, inside the columns, poor contact or closure may occur, which will cause interference to the entire electrical circuit, as a result of which a foreign noise may appear in the headphones.

The speakers need to be turned off completely, and not only turn off their power.

If the full disconnection of the speakers from the computer did not help eliminate the noise in the headphones, go to the next step of finding a fault.

No grounding - the most common cause of interference in headphones when connected to a computer

For some unknown, the reasons for me in many homes do not have grounding. In general, it is not so scary, traditional household appliances, such as irons, heaters, filters and air conditioners work normally. But it costs to connect equipment unnecessary power grid, which is very sensitive to the quality of the power supply, as problems immediately come out.

The computer connected to an uncontrolled outlet is direct expensive not only to noise in headphones, but also the possible reason for the release of the computer is entirely due to the impact on static electricity.

A normal way to solve this problem is to ground the socket to which the computer connects. But it is not easy to do it, if at all possible. For this you need to call the electrician, however, in this case, most likely, it is most likely to shift the wiring across the apartment, and this is already a serious repair.

There is a simple way to check whether the ground will help eliminate the noise in the headphones - throw the wire from the computer to the battery.

You need to take the usual copper wire of a small cross section, from two sides with bare contacts. One end to lean to the computer housing (preferably to the back of it), and the other to the battery. To lean the wire to the painted part of the battery is useless, you need to lean to the metal of the battery, so you have to search for such a place. Usually naked metal can be found on the rear of the battery.

If you did everything right, and the noise left or significantly decreased, it means that the matter is grounded.

Remember: You can not ground through the battery to consider a constant solution. Such a grounding can lead to a complete failure of the entire computer, only your neighbor grounds serious equipment to the battery, like a computer, having received a powerful discharge of electricity to the body, will fail. This is only a method of checking, no more.

But what to do if you know exactly that the sockets have a grounding, and the check with the wire did not give anything? We continue searching the cod in the headphones.

The noise from the microphone is one of the many reasons for the occurrence of interference in headphones.

We looked at possible sources of noise problems in headphones that concern material intervention, now we have problems that relate to the configuration of computer equipment.

One of the most common causes of noise in the headphones is noise from the microphone of the sound card.

Even if the microphone is not connected to your sound card, noise from the microphone socket can occur.

In order to check this hypothesis, you need to go to the sound of the sound of your audio card, find the slider that adjusts the volume level of the microphone and reduce it to zero. Either, if there is such an opportunity, turn off the sound from the microphone.

If the cause of noise in the headphones was a microphone input, then the disconnection of the sound from it should be fully corrected.

In order to get to the microphone volume settings, open the control panel, find item "Equipment and sound" And go to it.

Now find item "Sound" And go to it.

In the Sound Settings window, go to the tab "Record"then find an active microphone (in my case this is the Sound Blaster ZXR microphone), select it and click on the button. "Properties" in the lower right corner.

In a new window, find the tab "Levels", and either slide the microphone volume slider as to the left as possible until its value takes the zero indicator, or press the blue speaker icon, which is located to the right of the volume level. Near the speaker should appear a red crushed sign. This icon will mean that the microphone is completely disabled in the system. It is preferable to disable it, and not just reduce the volume level.

One of the varieties of problems with the microphone entrance or the microphone itself is its high sensitivity. This problem can be solved by incorporating the microphone noise cancellation mode.

Almost all modern sound cards have such a mode. If you find out that the cause of the cod is a microphone, but it is needed, then try to turn on noise cancellation mode if it is. This should solve the problem.

The problem with the volume of sound sources in the sound card may cause hissing in headphones

Not only the interference of the microphone can cause hissing in the headphones, the same interference can also give the adjacent audio card inputs.

Depending on the sound card model, it may have additional inputs for connecting additional equipment. They can wear the following names:

1. What u hear
2. Line In.
3. S / PDIF.

Any of them can become a source of interference at a certain coincidence. Similarly, as you have reduced the volume of the microphone, you need to reduce or completely disconnect the sound from all these sockets.

To do this to go to the Windows Control Panel.

Then find a point there. "Equipment and sound".

Then click on the section "Sound".

In a new window, enter the Playback tab, select Active speakers (a device that plays the sound in headphones at the moment) and click on the "Property" button.

Next, I can't make a screenshot, because In my case, the volume level of all inputs and outputs is adjustable via a special software that controls my sound blaster sound card, in your case, most likely the tab will be available. "Levels"When you enter which you can disable all inputs and outputs of your sound card.

To check, leave only the output to the headphones, and all other possible outputs and inputs, disconnect or reduce their volume to zero.

If the problem of hissing headphones was in one of these items, it will have to disappear.

The volume level is paradoxically, but the fact, it can be the cause of interference in the headphones

In some cases, the volume level may cause interference in headphones.

Sometimes it happens that the headphones have their own volume control, plus there is an additional volume control in Windows, and there is still a volume control knob in the application, the sound of which you listen to (play, player).

In order for any equipment that has its own hardware volume control, it is good, it is necessary to make all the volume control regulators (especially the main volume slider in Windows) were 100% installed. And the final adjustment of the volume is using the hardware volume control.

To resolve Hissing, follow these steps:

1. Fully disconnect the sound in the headphs using a hardware regulator (buttons or twisters on the headphones themselves)
2. Volume in Windows 100%
3. Set the volume in the application 100%
4. Start gradually add volume on headphones and bring it to a comfortable level.

The fact is that the volume control regulators artificially reduce the volume of the sound, and then in the headphones you have to unscrew the volume to the maximum to listen at a comfortable level. However, for any technique, be it headphones, columns or car engine, long-term work on the limit possible is extremely destructively reflected on the characteristics and properties of the unit.

When setting the maximum volume with hardware on headphones, you strengthen the entire noise that comes from the computer, plus add distortion that appear in the headphones themselves at the maximum sound level.

Therefore, you need to adjust the volume by the method that I indicated to minimize possible distortions and noise from the headphones themselves, as well as remove the artificial increase in unwanted noise.

Despite the ease of operation, sometimes we still face definite problems, such as extraneous sounds, similar to hissing and wheezing, because of which the sound quality is generally deteriorating significantly. To eliminate this problem, you need to know the possible reasons for its appearance.

It is important to know that, despite the entire elementality of this device, a person who has not had to faced problems in his work and eliminate them, this problem may seem very serious.

In order to understand where the hiss in the headphones arises, you need to understand a little about how they are arranged. Pay attention to the fact that you constantly hear hissing sounds or only periodically.

One of the reasons why this problem may occur is incorrectly connecting headphones, or rather, the choice of incorrect settings. In addition, if the headphones are not new, check if the contacts are working with which you connect them.

Noise in headphones caused by faulty sound card

Such a part, as a sound card, has the most direct impact on how high-quality melody is reproduced by equipment. If the item is defective, the personal computer cannot accurately transmit sound signals, which is why the normal sound is complemented by hissing, a crash, the sound seems to be "rehearsed" and "jumps". In this situation, only replacing the faulty item will help, and then the sound will no longer be accompanied by outsiders.

Faulty wires

For the correct operation of the headphones and the correct transmission of sounds often corresponds to the manufacturer of the model.

It should be known that there are two types of headphones: wireless and with wire. Outsided sounds, as a rule, appear in models running through a cable connected by a plug. If the copper cable live is damaged or stretched, noise noise and jump-shaped sound interruptions.

The damaged wire often leads to noise in headphones on the iPhone. This is due to the fact that the cable material is thin and flexible, it is easy to break. The conductor with damage sends the sound card to incorrect characteristics of the signals, and this is reflected on the sound. How to eliminate the hoarse of headphones? This can be done, removing the overshadled or bare area of \u200b\u200bthe wire, as a last resort, will have to buy new fittings.

Broken usb input

Incorrect sound may occur after connecting other gadgets to a USB connector. Call the problem can mouse, or defective keyboard. In this case, by pressing the key, you will hear clicks. There are quite objective reasons why it happens.

When the information is transmitted, the load on the PC is raised. To reduce it, you need to do the following:

1. Switch the plug to another port.

2. You can also purchase a splitter and repair old connectors for connecting.

3. Start using wireless devices.

The problem is that very often users do not pay due attention to the computer, they do not immediately repair the emerging problems. As a result, USB connectors one after another come to unsuitability, and only one remains, in which the splitter connects and it is all the load that it becomes the reason for its increase.

How to wear intracanal in-ear headphones

Noise from working with mouse

When you make a scrolling page with the mouse, sometimes you can also notice noise, sometimes they are simply unbearable. Solution of the problem will be the replacement of the mouse, switching the mouse to the neighboring USB port or setting an external sound card.

No grounding sockets

This problem is not often, but still arises, interfering with the normal operation of headphones. The absence of grounding can also cause a cod, clicks and other noise in headphones. If you have already checked the headphones and did not find any problems, check the sockets to which the computer is connected.

This nuance concerns only stationary computers, laptop fees are usually ground at the stage of their production.

When you use headphones connected to a laptop, incorrect sounds are most likely provoked by internal malfunctions of the device. Do not delay with contacting the service center, where your device is distributed for troubleshooting.

Sound source itself does not work correctly

Violation of the rules for using headphones often leads to a violation of their work, and in particular to the sound. Also, problems occur in the work of the main sound source. Rarely, but still occur the driver errors. Program errors and failures in the operation of the operating system cause interference in the form of noise and cod.

The problem can be detected by checking the device using the connection of various headsets. If their work is equally unacceptable - unpleasant sounds will be heard in all headphones, it means that the problem is hiding in the device driver.

If you are used to listening to very high volume music, you can also notice the appearance of hissing and cod. As a rule, it happens if you purchase inexpensive headphones.

There is not enough powerful power supply - another reason for extraneous noise at the sound of headphones (such a problem is sometimes found at the owners of laptops, which have not yet understood with all its features). Eliminate this problem simply using the following prompts.

On your laptop, go to the "Control Panel", then in "System and Security" and, finally, in "Power Supply", and select High Performance Mode. At the end of the setup, check the sound quality in headphones.

Where are different from? noise and sounds in headphones? How to get rid of noise? Where does it come from Crash in columns when connecting an external USB hard disk? These questions are increasingly and more often I ask not only customers, but also readers of my articles on various forums and boards of questions.

We will try to figure out these problems and try at least partially solve them.

To solve this problem, it is necessary to begin to deal with the reasons.

Cheap sound cards - the main source of noise

For most of us, the norm is the use of sound schemes integrated into the motherboard. Few a user buys a single fee to play sound, and even more so external. When configuring the motherboard, manufacturers seek to minimize the costs, as a result, on the strapping of sound fees integrated into the motherboard accounts for only a couple of dollars. High frequencies of different schemes generate electromagnetic interference, which almost do not affect the digital component of the sound subsystem, but have a tremendous effect on an analog part in which noise appears.

Cheap PCI sound cards have the same problems, albeit in a slightly less.

Lack of grounding aggravates the problem

Extremely rarely occur in our homes electric sockets with grounding. And the lack of grounding significantly exacerbates the problem of sound. But in the case of laptops, even the presence of grounding in the outlet does not reduce the problem, since the system board itself is not grounded at all.

Noise when connected USB devices

Often, people do not even notice noise before connecting USB devices, but as soon as the external USB disk or USB mouse is connected, or the keyboard, then the complaints immediately appear.

At the same time, noises are pretty specific:

• when connecting the mouse - monotonous noises when driving;
• when connecting the keyboard - usually heard clicks when pressed;
• when connecting hard drives - cracks when copying information.

The problem, as a rule, in the immediate vicinity of USB and sound circuits, and the active transmission of information on USB ports has a negative effect on the sound output.

What to do and how to be? Get rid of noise

Use the digital output from your audio system. This method is guaranteed to eliminate you from noise, but requires an acoustics with its own digital analytical converter, but many of these systems have no output to headphones, which limits their application.

Check the high-quality external USB sound fee. It is expensive, but extremely effective. This is especially necessary if you need not only to listen, but also write sound.

Well, it seems like everyone else.

There are no close. not yet

When you install the connection of peripheral devices with a PC, carefulness and attention should be done, because the complexity of the headset complicates the connection process. The same speakers are very often connected by sound recording and headphones. These components are extremely comfortable for communication on the Internet. Without these devices, it is difficult to imagine a modern user. In fact, the connection is not so difficult to carry out if there will be no problems during it. The same users very often ask the forums Question: Noise in headphones on a computer - how to remove? In order to facilitate life, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the detailed information on this topic.

Where does noise come from?

First you need to understand where this noise comes from at all, because many "users" are familiar with this problem. Often this problem occurs only for a while, but some will not get rid of it for a very long time. We will open the secret that the nature of this problem may have a different start. Noise can appear for a variety of reasons, so it is very difficult to predict exactly which measures will be returned. Problems can be caused by settings or technical malfunctions.

How to remove noise in headphones? To eliminate this problem, you need to designate the roots of the problem.

Sound fee

Start, perhaps, it follows from the components within a stationary personal computer or laptop. A sound processing card may be simply damaged or new equipment does not want to work with it. In the headphones "indignation" can manifest itself in the form of noise and cod.

Fit all this can only be corrected using a complete replacement or repair of the card in the service center. Perhaps it is after these measures the noise will disappear.

Land

This reason is difficult to call common, but it should not be excluded from the list. Speech here is exactly what we feed our headset. In this case, extraneous sounds may also occur.

Important! If you work with a laptop, then it is not a fact that the components on the motherboard have grounding. In the case of its absence, it is necessary to think about replacing parts or simply accept unpleasant consequences.

Why do the fountain speakers on the computer and how to remove this background? It may be not only in those devices that everyone thinks.

Third party equipment

Sound output devices can even be hiped due to connected devices. There are no malfunctions in this case. In other words, you can sharply appear monotonous noise during the mouse connection.

Important! Also, this problem may occur when the keyboard is connected.

Noise is due to the following reasons:

• During the conjugation, active data transmission on the PC occurs. It is recommended to avoid the operation of the USB ports, with which you have problems. It is best to use other interfaces for connecting or think about repairs.
• USB port is damaged. Here it is also perfect for repair, but in practice, users simply begin to use other ports. The problem is not of great relevance, because it arises not very often.

The wire

How to remove noise in headphones in other ways? Perhaps the problem lies in the model of the headset used. Absolutely all headphones are divided into:

1. Wired devices. The connection is based on the cable.
2. . The connection is based on a wireless communication module.

Software

This factor is key to all computer devices without exception. In practice, of course, such cases are found not so often, but it is better to check everything from all sides. Foreign sounds during operation may arise due to the irrelevance of sound drivers or their absence at all. To exit such a position, you will need to reinstall the software to ensure the normal health of the headset.

Maximum volume level

The background may interfere with the wrong sound settings. It does not matter at all, you use the microphone or not.

Important! Use tips from our post to.

If all the parameters are set on the maximum values, that is, the risk to hear the screens and wheels. You can correct the situation only when the volume level is reduced. This action does not cover anything complicated.

It is almost impossible to imagine the computer work without sound. This is especially true of entertainment, video games without sound support are not interesting, movies to watch with subtitles There is also no point, and listening to music becomes impossible. The sound is necessary, so every user has a column or several or headphones. These devices are necessary, but nobody wants to get out on expensive options, people buy cheap audio systems that eventually fail or starting to flure. Yes, what is there to say, crackle in the computer columns and other extraneous sounds may appear even in expensive devices.

The noise can appear due to the work of the computer, the operator is loaded, the information is processed, all this is accompanied by unpleasant crackles and writing. Fortunately, the problem is solved, but first you need to know what is the reason for the appearance of unnecessary sounds.

The ejection of the old device and the purchase of the new is the extreme method of solving the problem. In fact, noise in headphones or speakers may appear due to damage or incorrect wires, drivers, and even Windows settings.

Connecting cord problems

Often, the sound of the hiss appears when connecting the PC audio card and device for sound reproduction. There are three options here:

• The connection wire is damaged. From this there are not only interference in the computer columns, but also such a problem when only one of the columns works. It is not always possible to determine the fault location for the eye cord, so it is better to connect the device to another computer and check.
• Contact between a sound device wire and a poor quality network card.

• The wire is not fixed. When the draft wags with a cord, or children play with wires, then noise is formed in columns. In such a situation, it is necessary to attach the wire to a solid base, the tape is suitable for this purpose.

It happens that the problem appears due to the use of a long cord, the crackling is not strong, but still delivers inconvenience. The use of a shorter wire will solve the problem.

Malfunctions due to drivers

The work of the computer, and the playback of sound, including, also depends on the drivers. When they are not installed, the user will not hear anything at all, and if the person downloaded not the driver, the job of the device will be broken.

Such malfunctions appear after updating "firewood" or installing a new package. This problem reports Windows.

To check whether these sounds really appeared in the headphones because of the drivers, we make the following manipulations:

• We go to the "Control Panel", there already clay on the "Equipment and Sound" icon and click on the "Task Manager" line;

• If there is no yellow or red warning icon, there are no problems with sound drivers. When such signs are present, then correct the problems.

In any case, with affordable updates, this should be done. Perhaps the outsiders will disappear.

Settings and configurations

Two or three random markers near unknown options may worsen the sound quality. Earbate appears when the PCBEEP is running the linear input. The remaining functions, depending on the computer settings, can also affect the volume and quality.

fig.1. Go to the "Control Panel" menu, choose the "Equipment and Sound" icon after which we clas on the "Volume Setup" function

fig.2. At the second stage of the work, click LKM on the "Speakers and Headphones" icon

fig.3. In the Levels menu there are PCBeep settings, CD, etc.

• All these features are translated into a value of 0, save configurations and check whether it solved the problem.

In some situations, such simple manipulations really improve the quality of reproduction.

Other reasons

Quality device

In the columns, extraneous noise appears with increasing volume. When this indicator exceeds 50%, noise, cod and other unpleasant effects appear instead of music.

This problem torments all owners of low-cost devices, this is still referred to as the "jitter" effect. Also noise appear when the speaker volume is set to maximum, and in the OPERATION, on the contrary, at minimum configurations.

In such a situation we find the Golden Middle

Solve the problem with "jitter" with an increase in volume is almost unrealistic. The only exit becomes the purchase of new columns.

Weak sound card

In most computers, this item is installed immediately into the motherboard and is bought it all together. Buying a separate card leads to costs of funds and this is not a popular solution.

Increased frequencies of all kinds of boards form electromagnetic actions that do not interfere with the operation of the digital part of the device, but strongly affect the analog components, which is why the quality of reproduction decreases.

Inexpensive PCI options are a bit better in this matter, but they have such a problem.

Incorrect placement of details

When the board is installed near the video card, the computer columns begin to make noise. The fact is that the video card gives special signals that come to the sound card and form noise.

If there is no such possibility, we create a special reflective screen with cardboard and foil.

No grounding

Therefore, a computer connected to a conventional outlet will give sound with noise and cracklers. It is impossible to solve this problem in laptops, because in such a situation the fee will not be grounded.

Foreign sound and noise in headphones and speakers should be eliminated.
