Static on youtube videos?

Octavialicious

When listening to music on youtube, I get static. Here is what I have tried so far:

 

- Restarting chrome (obviously)

- Switching my aux cable

- Using internet explorer

- using soundcloud

- using a cheap dac

 

and they all have static. Oddly enough, my phone gives my no static. Any ideas?

The noise you are hearing could be coming from a number of sources.

 

Some questions first:

  1. Is this issue new to this setup or have you experienced this in the past? Or, has the setup always had this problem.
  2. Which model of DAC do you have?
  3. Do you use a Windows or OSX computer?

 

You have stated that you do not experience these same problems when plugging you phone into your speakers. This means that the issue likely lies somewhere between your browser and your DAC output.

 

Based on what you said about trying different browsers and sound cloud I assume that this is an issue you experience with all audio from your PC. Is this correct? Try playing some music files directly off of your computer and seeing if they have the same issue.

 

 

If playing local files does not recreate the same problem, it likely lies with the with your browser's audio output.

  • If you are on windows locate the speaker icon on your task bar and left click it to see your active audio output. Select the "Mixer" option.
  • Scroll across the mixer until you find your browser or
  • Try lowering the output volume.
  • I don't have much experience with Macs but If you have one I assume that the process is similar, though possibly in a different location.

 

If playing local files does recreate the issue your problems may be related to the setup of you DAC or your computers output.

  • Try unplugging the DAC and then reconnecting it to your computer, you may need to reboot (recommended anyway).
  • If you DAC has a gain setting, set it to Low.

1. This has happened fairly recently, this set up has worked in the past.

2. I'm not using a dac, I'm using my onboard audio. I just used a dac temporarily to see if it would eliminate the static (which it didn't)

3. Windows

 

I'll try doing local music right now

yep, downloaded music also has the same issue. Just to clarify, it's not a constant hissing noise (its not all the time) Sometimes it's there, sometimes isn't. Also weird is usually it's with music, and my games are not affected. However, the games do have static sometimes

 

also, it sounds like it's lagging a bit (so lag + static)

How about when you take the adapter off? Still static?

I took it out and plugged it back in and now it's fixed .-.

It sounds like your problem is more global then just Youtube then.

 

Try turning down the overall output volume on your computer. It is likely that the same problem is occurring in games but the extra stimulus (and often volume) is more distracting. (You can test this tor, by sitting in a game menu or similar and letting the music play from that source)

 

Somethings to test.

  • To test if the problem is being cause by a weak connection between the jack and the port, try plugging the speakers into a second output on you computer (front panel if you have one).
  • You can also try plugging in a different pair of headphones to the same port and seeing if they experience the same problem.

If two different devices experience the same problem when plugged into the same output, but not when plugged into another then the issue is likely a lose connector on your computer. (But you said a DAC output had static as well, so this may not be the case)

If one device works well, and the other is staticy it is probably a issue with the cable or connector on the speaker side. (But you have already indicated your phone is fine, so this is possibly not the case)

 

To double check that it is not the position of your speaker cable, plug in your phone but leave the cable in the same spot as it runs from your computer, it may be that it is picking up RF interference, try running the cable a different way.

 

If the above fails to fix this issue, try lowering the overall output level from your computer.

You can also check that you are not attempting to play unsupported bitrates and codec through you sound system

  1. Try right clicking on the speaker icon and selecting "Playback Devices"
  2. Find your speakers on the ouput list
  3. Select "Properties" from the right click menu
  4. Go to the tab "Supported Formats"
  5. Follow the testing instruction, uncheck any that do not play back correctly. (odd pauses, crackling).

 

 

Other note. Another post made by you indicates that you got a new mic recently. It may be feeding noise into your system, try unplugging it (and rebooting) to see it if is causing the noise)

  1. Try right clicking on the speaker icon and selecting "Recording Devices"
  2. Find your new mic on the input list
  3. Select "Properties" from the right click menu
  4. Go to the tab "Listen"
  5. Uncheck "Listen to this device" if it is checked. This may have been causing you to pick up the noise from your speakers and continually play it back into your output.

... well now you know! Repeat ad nasium if problem reoccurs (half of tech support is having had the problem once before -.-)

 

I probably should have specified that this applies to all connectors... odd that the video adapter caused the interference though.

 

If playing local files does recreate the issue your problems may be related to the setup of you DAC or your computers output.

  • Try unplugging the DAC and then reconnecting it to your computer, you may need to reboot (recommended anyway).
  • If you DAC has a gain setting, set it to Low.

They help me too, :) I can make the generic with a few edits and use them as general troubleshooting docs if people have similar issues in the future. Take care!

If it's plugged in again, and it suddenly work out good, maybe loose contact pin, possibly the ground pin, on the first case. Maybe it got pulled or knocked a bit.

What about taking off the hdmi adapter altogether? Try for a few days to see if the problem returns. If it vanish completely, then faulty/bad quality adapter.

I tried that, but the static came back eventually. I reinstalled the drivers and it is fixed, I'll see if it continues to work

Ok, so restarting my computer fixes it for a bit and then it comes back

from just seeing ur topic and not reading all, I must say when u use 2 digital out even if one is only 4 audio and u have a player on pc like mpc-hc with digital out setting on even if u on pause and not listen to music the youtube video will show static then reload the video automatically don't touch and try to rout it to secondary audio device as the default is taken by the AV player maybe its this ?   (only know about NVidia drivers) so check if ur have 2 out on extended view or what not hope I helped

When i'm not playing PC games i'm playing with my PC parts  Fans,Pumps,Filters,  :wub:  :wub:  :wub:
