Static-y noise: Is this normal?
1150178
I have Vista and the camera's playback sound quality was very poor. I went into the Control Panel/Sound/Recording tab, highlighted the LifeCam Microphone and clicked 'Configure'. In the Configure window I chose 'Set up microphone'. I chose 'Other' for 'mics built into devices' I followed instructions for reading text into the mic. After doing that a few times and getting a warning message that the LifeCam mic is not adequate for speech recognition, the test did optimize the level of the mic on the camera and it seems to work much better.

I always install them in an electronics closet so I didn't pay attention to a noise. However, I am actually going to install one today in about 4-5 hours. send me a follow up question and I will let you know if the one I installed has noise or not.

My experience is that the noise is not normal. I haven't had any issues with the speaker at all.

Yes. It is normal. If you need better sound proofing, you should get a closed back headphone instead...

there is some static noise yes..as with many amps...but if it is minimal when playing..you are good. If not, I would contact the seller.

I have not had any static issues but I don't use the speaker concurrently with my computer.

Well, there is some minor fuzz that should, by most accounts, be expected with this and other tube amps. If the static noise you are experiencing is severe, you may have a defective unit, I suppose. My Vali has only a small amount of fuzz that, to me, is worth the sweet warm sound I get from a tube amp.

Only if there's nothing playing. When I'm playing music or podcasts, I don't notice any static or feedback.

The only noise you should hear is the drive spinning, I wouldn't classify that as a buzzing noise. There really shouldn't be any noticeable noise at all!! I've had for over two years and have used in some rough environments, no issues at all!

I have a low static on mine in one room, but not another. On my old camera the room that currently has the static also had it.

I had static also. Am returning the device and ordering a new one from a different seller. I suspect the quality control may not be optimal and some may have static and others not.

If this is heard only when set to PHONO, you could be experiencing static discharge (especially in very dry winter weather or if you routinely leave a record on the platter). Google "records static electricity" for more and suggested fixes.

At high power levels there is a hum. At lower levels there is little or no noise.

No that is not normal. Check each connection one at a time to make sure they go to the right places. Also, is a really long cable or something with a lot of electrical noise nearby? Noise sources include your neighbors. You might need ferrite beads on your wires if you are near a noise source such as a radio station, arc welder, LED lights, CFL lights, etc. These source can (they do not have to) misbehave and cause noise, often through the power cord. MFJ Enterprises (and others) have tools to track down noise sources.

No there is not a detectable pattern to the noise it is just a steady hum like having a fan in the room. That is is the closest comparison I can think of. If you have any further questions don't hesitate getting back to me.

I'm not having grounding noise issues. Are you sure the feeding devices are properly grounded?

ok. Got the replacement.1) the static sound still exists from 1-8 but it's half as bad as the previous unit2) now sometimes i get a buzzing sound when the volume is at 0This one was also manufactured in October 2010.I'll see if this bothers me enough, else i'll send it back.
