The previous version of this case had front audio ground loop noise issue. Has this been resolved in this version?

I haven't had any issues with it so far and I keep and use a headset plugged in there on a daily basis. My friend also has this same case and hasn't had an issue either. If I remember right, the last case had the ground in an area that caused interference. I'm not sure if this is in the same place or not.

I had a speaker plugged into the front for quite a while and never had an issue with noise.

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

Craig-did they solve your issue? My case arrived yesterday and the function key isn't working, wondering if I should scrap it and find a different brand/manufacturer.

Not with my case. My front audio ports are USB ports. Ports for the sound card are available at the rear of my case (CoolerMaster) and that's where I connect my speakers. With this sound card one can also switch back and forth from speakers to headphones.

I really cant say that Ive had that problem, about the noise-gate, have you tried checking in the creative site? maybe they can help you.

I had this problem. The person on the other end of my call always complained of hearing a delay/echo when speaking. I turned off noise suppression (settings>networks tab>call>noise suppression) and poof, no more complaints. I had had this phone for only a couple days at that point so I'm not sure if it was really something to do with the case, or just something quirky with the phone.

I have had the same experience (loud buzz, dropped signal). Very disappointing in a system of this cost. Is Nuforce intending on fixing this or is our only approach - as commented previously - to defeat the bluetooth and direct wire, which defeats the point of the system? With the advent of new bluetooth systems that have entered the market I would suggest that if Nuforce doesn't provide a fix to this problem that they will fail.

I have no problems plugging in my headphones. I have had issues with other cases not being about to plug in headphones, etc but not with this case at all.

First thing I would try is fiddling with the headphone plug in. Try sticking the plug in and pushing towards the edges, and see if the noise changes while you do that. Second it could be noise from the system, try a different audio source too.

Don't think I had that noise. Took mine off as it would not stay on. I bought it to get a better grip. It was slick so removed and bought a nice sleeve.

No echoing issues here. I've use the case everyday since I got it back in 12/13 and haven't have any problem with it at all.

No, not that I have noticed. I am pretty sensitive regarding sound, formally being a professional vocalist. Sound is extremely important to me. This was a concern when I ordered the case but from what I have been able to detect, the sound has not been affected on my Galaxy Note 3.

Newegg specs it at 17.6 dba. I can't hear it unless I put my ear next to the case.

I've had this case for about 3 and a half months and I haven't had this problem. People can always hear me just fine. My friend has the same case and when we talk on the phone I can hear her fine as well.

I found the sound definitely changes but i don't think it's that bad at all. I find that on some of these devices including my phone and iPad i will "cup" the speakers anyway to direct the sound back at me and that's basically what the case does too when flipped over.

Having the same problem Herberto is having, where I hear the high pitched background noise and cyclic modulation, even if I turn the volume down to 0. Seems much worse when I try to use my AV sources rather than cable, though playing MP3s through the USB port sounds fine. Muting (compared to turning the volume down to zero) doesn't produce the noise, but unlike a bunch of people above, I didn't notice an improvement with my external speakers.
