Has anyone else had this thing start feeding back when no music is being played? super loud buzzing.. hooked up to Sonos.

I'm hooked into a home entertainment receiver going on a year and have not had any problems.

R. Williams - Nope. I've run this sub-woofer for countless hours over the years...sometimes under "unusual" circumstances and often with very high demands...it has operated faultlessly. As I noted earlier, "it'll make you happy". It still brings me a solid "lower-end" sound (and feel, too.). I'm thinking that Matthew Robb's reply is right-on. An ill fitting cable can make for a weak ground. Feedback is another possible cause...NAH...not likely. Hope your annoying "super loud buzzing" is soon ended.abez2.

I have heard a shielded cable works to cut down magnetic interference.I thought about that and wonder if it's not just the fact that the cable is thicker that make a difference.In effect cutting a form of interference in the form of resistance. Another cause,which would suck would be faulty internal wiring.

Yes! I thought it was something in the old one going bad so I bought a new one and all was fine for a few weeks now it is doing the same thing. It doesn't seem to matter whether the power to the receiver is on or off. As long as the woofer is plugged in it will randomly start the feed back loop which can only be stopped by turning off the woofer. Sorry I don't have any answers.

Can't say that I have, I have mine hooked to a yamaha sound bar as well. I would suggest checking your cabling, something may not be making a good connection.

Having the same issue with buzzing from left speakers...anybody found a solution yet? was thinking about returning it but realized Amazon only do refunds at this time

I have not had any issues with mine. Some folks reported issues with buzzing, but was related to the speaker not being tightened down correctly. Buzzing without your bass plugged in sounds like a ground loop problem. Have you tried powering it from a filtered source? (I use a Furman PL-8 which was already inmy guitar rack)

Yeah, that sucks. I figured it out after I couldn't return them anymore. I just gave them away and bought a much more expensive one to replace them. I got a Crown 28M to replace my two Pyles. It has been on for about 4 months now, and never hummed. I needed an always on system for PA work.

Have you tried switching your cable? I've never gotten any humming when playing this, either through a tube or solid state amp.

I've had best buy out twice now. The first time to replace all the screws in the back of the tv and that helped for about 1 week and the buzzing or humming sound came back. Best buy came today and replace one of the boards on the tv and i'm hoping this will fix the problem.

If the device you're playing it I is close to other electronic that could happen, or if you're charging it. Happens with most devices. But if it's not playing music and making static noises a wire could be broken. But without seeing the problem myself I don't know what's up with with it. Maybe if you could record a YouTube video And respond again?

Have you checked your interconnects and grounding wire? "Buzz's" can usually be attributed to a bad connection, so I would look at all of your IC's from the 'table to the phono amp/receiver.

This is not normal. I have the speakers and they do not buzz when there is no sound output.

Hello F. Zuma,I notice that you have been reaching out for info on your over heated Onkyo. Sound like you might need an repair or replacement. Did you mention that ya start having problem right after buying it? Have you experimented putting it out of the cabinet to see if it does the same thing? Wish you Luck. Stephen

This is an audiophile sound bar. Not only does it get way louder than Sonos, it acoustically blows it out of the water. Sonos probably just puts extra juice in their demo or something. I've heard both in different homes and there is no comparison. My brother in law (who bought everything Sonos makes) actually bought two bookshelves to supplement his Sonos bar/sub because it did not perform how he expected.

I had never noticed a buzzing sound. I just plugged it in and held up up to my ear. I could not hear anything.

Mine is September 2010 also. What I did last night was pull the TV back out of the box and hook it back up in our room. In complete silence, I can hear a slight noise when the volume level is between 1-2. If I put it on 0, I hear nothing and anything above 2 I hear nothing. This is a gift for my son for Christmas. Once it's actually up in his room and has been used for a couple days I will check it again. What kind of connections are yall using?

I have the exact same problem, did you ever find a way to connect your Sonos. I have tried with and without my bridge.

Thanks Wagner. I will set it that way and see if anything changes over the next day or two and post back here.So much for a day or two, I just tried it and it is very loud now. Mine wasnt refurbished, I bought it new in the package. Werid bug for sure.

I had this symptom as well and my unit eventually stopped working altogether. I had to return it for warranty replacement and I was charged for return shipping even though the unit failed within 3 months of purchase. Much to my frustration, the buzzing symptom has started on the replacement unit now (only used for 2 months) and I am expecting this unit to fail as well given my experience with the previous unit. I don't know if this is unusual for Speakercraft products, but I will never purchase from them again. At this point, it isn't worth my time or money to ship back the second unit for warranty replacement.

Lee, I might offer that what you have is an electrical hum from an outside source like a computer or the current from your rig plugged into the wall. I experienced that before unplugging components and then listening. I still got to stick by this amp as it performs well for me not only busking a / stage work but studio work as well. Check for the proper wall adaptor or even call the people at Roland they actually answer the phone.well
