Anyone Else With Headphone Buzz - HTC Droid DNA

I couldn't believe that I was the only one getting headphone buzz on my beats headphones so I went to the Verizon store and plugged into their floor model and low and behold I got it there too!
I get it real bad on my Beats studio headsets (one's with the battery) and in my car, both on the left. My Beats in ears are not as bad but can hear it sometimes.
Anyone else getting the annoying buzz?

Yep I am getting it with streaming music. I'm pretty sure it doesn't happen when listening to mp3 's.

Well, you've got Beats headphones and Beats in your phone. You've got too much Beats. Try reducing the amount of Beats by a factor of 1.
Source: I've got Sony headphones with Beats on my DNA. 1/2 the Beats of you = no buzz.

I have a regular pair of Sony ear buds and I have a lot of static or white noise. It increases 10 fold when I turn beats on. I hear it streaming and on storage music. Its awful. Dsp manager doesn't help either.

But I get it in my car as well (no Bluetooth, still using a headphone plug). I don't know what your referring to as turn Beats down? I've turned it off before to check and not even that helped, very annoying. I believe I read somewhere a while back that HTC added an amplifierto the headphone jack and speaker, wonder if that has anything to do with it...?

using the ibeats that came with the Rezound and there's no buzz at all.

I wouldn't say its buzz, its more like that "white" noise like when the sound stops on a record player. Its really at its worse when beats is on but I can still hear it with it off. This is with all headphones and the aux jack in my car.

I was just kidding around. Buzzing noises with audio tend to be a grounding issue. Not much help with a phone not meant to be taken apart. I would try to exchange it if it persists.

[Q] slight hissing with headphones?

Hi all,
Do you notice a slight hissing when you use headphones? I notice it if I'm playing soft music (like classical stuff)...when the music player first starts playing, it "powers up" the audio chip and I hear the hissing. Theres actually a slight high pitch sound to the hissing. If I pause it, the hissing sound stays on for a few seconds before the OS powers down the audio chip, then it goes silent.
Unpausing causes the hissing/highpitch to come back.
Do I have a crappy unit or are they all like this?
I noticed the same thing on my evo3d as well as the photon.
I just tried using a microphone/headphone, and I get the same hissing when the audio chip is used. The headphones are pretty good quality. I don't get this hiss from my mp3 players.
Anyone else?
I noticed it using pandora. Between songs there was static. It seemed to stop during playback.

You need to go to sounds in the menu and turn off the noise enhancements that will eliminate the static I had the same problem

music hiss with headphones
Anyone ever find a Photon 4g solution? I'm guessing it's just what you get from the current smartphone's DAC chip. I only really notice it on quiet music for the most part anyway. More annoying are the notification sound or pauses while playing music despite sound settings being adjusted right.. I think anyway.
I notice too but also when you plug it to power source it becomes louder.

It seems like the worst culprit in the noise enhancements is the surround function...when I turned just that off there was a big reduction in the hiss.
I got mine phone the week after thanksgiving and have heard that nearly nonstop... while driving I often have headphones from my old palm pre on and the high pitch sound is not unlike that which you hear when using headphones on a commercial airliner's 3.5mm seat headphone jack.
after extended periods it's very annoying and actually causes me to tense my shoulders and get a headache.
my enhancements are also off, it's just there, it's more prevalent when charging.
I hear it too thankfully its not too loud so although it's annoying. To the guy above me be careful driving with headphones in as it's illegal in most states to do so as it makes it harder to hear emergency vehicles.
Anyone try using winamp or another player to see if the hissing is happening with other players?

That high pitched whine you heard on the airline's headphone jack is the result of 400Hz AC power that all airplanes use.

Yes they all got it. Connecting to AC charger/power line will keep the noise being heard from headphone, as if the audio pipeline was activated in playing music, but USB connection doesn't trigger that. The hissing pitch is a flag but the noise level sounds within a common range - better turn off audio effects (bass enhancement was a good one and could be an exception). Positive thinking, since they said headphones are not good for long-time music listening, the audio chip is gonna enforce that.
I still like Moto Photon over other sprint android phones:
1. World phone with both CDMA and GSM. (was considering Samsung Galaxy Epic 4G but it has no GSM/SIM switch.)
2. 4G and powerful dual-core system (1 & 2 already exclude the rest options).
And 3. the most unique design of it:
"The Photon 4G's cut-off corners give the phone a decidedly more masculine look, as do the gunmetal gray border" - cnet.
"lots of tasteful details..." - engadget.com.
so does anyone know what the DAC in the photon actually is? i only ask because after 20 minutes or so with no luck with google and my query for dac in the mopho forums resulted with this thread.

Audio Whining/Squealing/Buzzing Noise

Just got my Rezound on Monday. It's my first HTC phone, and overall I love it... except for one problem.
When listening to music from the phone or Pandora radio, I notice a high pitched whine noise under the audio. It fluctuates between whining/buzzing/squealing and sounds like some kind of electrical interference. It's most noticeable during classical music or a quiet part of a song, or when switching MP3s/radio songs. The noise continues for about 2-4 seconds after stopping/pausing the song before it goes completely silent. It's bad enough that I've been getting headaches from it. I've tried multiple pairs of headphones and also toggling the Beats audio enhancement with no luck.
I saw a few threads where the Bionic had a similar problem. Anyone else experience this whining when listening to music through the 3.5mm jack on headphones or passing it through your car stereo?
Edit: I've now noticed that I can hear this noise even while the volume is muted, as long as some sort of audio is playing (MP3 from library or Pandora for example).
Yeah a bunch of us have it. It sounds like CPU noises and processing noises. Could be por shielding. I don't notice it that bad, and I've got reallllyy good ears (musician, too lol) and it doesn't bug me too much. But yeah, I can confirm its there. There's a thread on phandroid forums about it.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA App
Phew, I'm not crazy. I'm not a musician, but I guess I have really sensitive ears for it to bother me so much. It's especially obnoxious when hooked up through the car, since the whining doesn't seem to increase in loudness with the volume level, but the car volume DOES increase it.
A lot of people are reporting that the Bionic issue is/will be patched out. I contacted HTC but haven't heard back yet. I'm really hoping something can be done. My 2 year old OG Droid played audio without a hitch. : /

I hope it doesn't bother me.
if i can (and get super un-lazy, cuz i'm pretty lazy....) i'll record the noise from the earbuds into some of my sensitive recording mics to see if it picks it up to see if its the same noise. however, like i said, it doesn't bother me at all lol

I've noticed the same background whining sound on two different Rezound units when playing music through earbuds. I haven't tried my Motorola Stereo Bluetooth headphones to see if I can hear it through those yet.
The Beats sound quality is good, but this background interfaces is killing it for me. At this point the Audio from the Droid Bionic sounds better when using the different EQ settings.
Pretty inexcusable for an audio focused phone.

I may be a lucky one but I get no background noise at all. That is with the included earbuds, Sony low end headphones, and through my aux in the car.
Now having said that I was initially getting some background noise in the car but changed the car charger and the noise went away. That was not a whine but more like static.

Which charger does not produce the noise? I'm getting worried about this noise. I'm switching carriers for this phone so I'm not sure what I'll do if it really bothers me. Mine arrives Tuesday and that's the day I'm driving 2.5 hours to Mom's house for Thanksgiving so I'll get a nice long chance to test it out in my car.

Belkin mini 5v 1a for lighter and usb
I tried two different brands of wired earbuds and a regular wired over-the-ear headphones and can hear the background whining sound with all of them. It doesn't matter if I'm using the default music player, Google Music, WinMap (or 3rd party player), I can also hear it when streaming YouTube videos.
But if I use my Motorola HT820 Stereo Bluetooth headphones, there is no whining sound, just a small background "hiss" that the Motorola HT820 always has done.
So it seems the background whining problem with the Rezound has more to due with using the 3.5mm headset jack for listening to music, as I don't hear it when using Stereo Bluetooth headphones.
Maybe someone else with Bluetooth Stereo headphones can double-check?

I would be curious if someone else could try this as well. In a response to my ticket regarding this HTC support suggested I try a bluetooth headset, I dont have one and they told me to go to the store and ask to try one. I dont plan on doing that but would be interesting if someone has one laying around already to try and confirm.
I tried removing my back cover and listening as well at their suggestion and that seems to take care of it as well so it may be an antennae issue.
I put the cover back on but have 4g off today to save some battery life and havent heard it yet while listening to music on my device, so it may even be the 4g signal interfering if someone else would like to try that as well.
my 4g is off and i hear the noise, so it's not the 4g radio
I notice it only when the music player is not playing any audio. When beats kicks in, the noise seems to go away.
Like when an album is done and the player has nothing to do, when the phone is connected to my truck stereo, I hear noise that changes in pitch with the RPMs.

Some of what you guys are describing, the stuff with car chargers, has to do with a ground loop. http://www.epanorama.net/documents/groundloop/index.html
Some of it sounds like poor shielding. This is the noise you hear when you have earphones plugged in and no audio is playing. The audio jack/circuitry on this phone is probably very poorly shielded as all of them probably are nowadays. A lot of this noise gets drowned out with louder music, which is might be what happens when Beats is on.
I would love to know objectively if this were better or worse than other phones but no one ever tests these things and I'm not gonna hold my breath for a phone that touts a real headphone amp, DAC, and superior signal to noise ratios, or anything a music lover (not just hip-hop) might care about.
The easiest way I've found to get around most of this is to use Bluetooth audio. It doesn't sound great by any stretch, but it has less noise than most jacks and doesn't have the ground loop issue.
All I know is there was no noise at all with my Incredible.
I was listening to sections of John Lennon's Rolling Stone Interview (recorded shortly after the breakup of the Beatles) via the YouTube app on my Rezound today. The noise would start right after one segment would end, and stop as soon as I selected the next one.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
yep
i hear it when I am using the ibeats headset on calls, it is very annoying. However it only happens if I have the audio all the way up, after putting it down two times it goes away.
I tried a suggestion of turning on the Airplane Mode to kill data while using the music player, and I can still hear the backgtound whining interference sound. Even with a song playing, and turning the music volume all the way down to mute, I can still hear it in the background. But once I pause the song, the whinging stops a few seconds later. This happens while using any brand of wiered earbuds or headphones, not just the red ones that come included.
The only time I don't hear it on the Rezound is when using Bluetooth Stereo headphones.
Since I also just got the Droid Razr, I tried music playback on it, and it doesn't have any backgroud interference sounds, though the actual music quality still sounds better on the Rezound. Hopefully its an issue that can be resolved with a future software upgrade, but it might be a hardware issue that can't be fixed.

Audio Quality on the Razr

How is the audio quality on the razr with heaphones. I reaaaaaally like the phone but I currently have the revolution and its audio quality is literally poop. Anyways, its between the Razr and the Rezound and while I don't like the Rezound's response issues, Im tempted to get the rezound for the beats. Has anyone listened a great deal to music on the phone yet? Im a student and I listen from my phone a ton. Thanks!
I don't have a decent set of headphones to test this out for ya but for what it's worth the external speaker is by far the best sounding phone speaker I have ever heard. Hopefully the headphone delivery is just as good. I'll play around with the different headphones I have kicking around.
It's quite nice, and there's a few preset equalizers in sound settings to play around with.

Ill +1 you right in the face about the speaker, ive had speaker docks that dont sound as nice as the Razr, and i aint kidding
I total vouch for the audio on this phone even to the point where i tested it against the Sensation XL with beats and the beats headphones and imo the razr actually sounded better. using the same beats headphones.
The audio quality through headphones, by Pandora, was as good as any other Moto phone I've had, but the same can't be said for when I plug the phone into my car stereo/s auxiliary port while streaming pandora. It seems like the signal is weaker, and there is some software trying to compensate, which flattens the music and adds a tinny effect to the highs. This is the only real setback that I've experienced with the RAZR, and I'm hoping to get a bluetooth stereo and stream that way, if it is any better. Streaming Pandora through the Bionic in my car sounded full and amazing, I really miss it.

well, today my phone has gone into an endless boot and Im fed up with the revolution. I called verizon and they offered me an early upgrade and since Im a tad strapped for cash, I went with the bionic. Hopefully the audio quality is better than the revo.
I am very surprised to hear anyone say they enjoyed the sound from the razr, i came from an HTC incredible and the sound of the razr was very disappointing. I use pandora thru an AUX port on my deck and literally i can't listen to music on the razr, its that bad. muffled low voice sometimes i can't even hear the voice at all! Ive tried playing with the audio settings and shutting it off completely to no avail. Ive been tethering to an old 3GS iphone witch of course sounds crystal clear perfect.
I have no interest in rooting my phone since you can tether without it but im seriously contemplating it just to try and possibly fix the sound issue with beats.

I have only found the headphone audio inferior to my HP envy 15 beats computer but there is a app that installs beats audio on the razr making it equal on the amazing quality.
i use a pair of etymotic hf5's and the audio out from thr razr is not too shabby. It doesn't sound as good as my ipod video 30gb with the Wolfson dac but it sure sounds better than the audio out of my nexus. As long as you have some decent cans, it should be comparable to most handsets. If its too muffled/quiet the razr probably doesnt put out enough juice to power the drivers in your headphones so you'll need to buy an amp. Pick up a fiio e5/e6 for $30 and you should be set.m
Qualityis also subjective and depends on what headphones you have and what type of music you listen to. I damn nearly cried the first time i used my HF5'S while listening to Pavarotti because it sounded so good. If you're a serious audiophile, id suggest you invest in an ipod classic with a lod cable, a decent pocket amp and a nice pair of audio technicas, grados,sennheiser, beyerdynamics etc.

The audio quality from RAZR is very decent. Low noise, relatively good power output to drive earphones better. I am using Unique Melody Mage; quad BA drivers custom IEMs, and very satisfied.
Sound signature : It has a bit bass bump, nice mid, and a bit softer treble
Bottom line, try it with a good earphones or IEMs, for better result.
Thank you

Rezound's ibeats earphones blowing out over because too much bass?

Thanks to dsp manager, I up the the bass real high when headsets are plugged in and thanks to the ibeats being able to produce high amounts of bass, my music on the phone sounds amazing!
I was wondering if anyone's ibeats have blown out because the bass was set too high? If not, I may be the first to report this in the future lol, hope not.
I have heard them pop with some frequencies when the bass was up, but I have maxed them out and I don't think they will blow. Hey since the headphones came with the phone are they covered under the year warranty? Or do they have one from monster?
I have to make this quick. If you want more info send me a message.
The only thing that will blow any speaker is distortion which you will hear.
Never turn the volume up all the way. At this setting the sound will likely not be clean and clear but it has nothing to do with volume. Most audio sources will distort at full volume. If you want it louder use an app like PowerAmp and increase the preamp output instead.
If its still not loud enough get a headphone amp! I have one and the iBeats will go so loud it actually hurts my ears after a few minutes.

Don't quote me on this but I remember reading that they are covered.
Yes, they are covered. I was having problems with the control module on the headphones - the play'pause/talk button, specifically. I called Verizon and they told me I could take them to any official Verizon store - not the "authorized dealers, but an actual VZW location - and get them replaced.
The second pair works beautifully but I'm planning on selling them. I'm going to pick up a pair of the Beats Tour earbuds, which will also work with the phone.
And one last item of curiosity - I plugged in my Shure se110 headphones to my Rezound last week and, to my surprise, Beats Audio fired up. Pretty cool.

hey,
I don't know how many people cares but i think the sound from the Audio Beat is great. I like the way i can feel the base and sound a lot more clear.
Thumbs up. What ya think ?
i went thru a ton of songs turning beats audio on and then off to compare the sound effects. everything sounds better when beats audio is on. im very happy with it
I agree. I have some studios I'm listening to right now and I didn't notice it at first in the notifications bar it was off then switched it on. I'm also using Poweramp I'm sure that helps also.

Tried Beats Audio with my Bose QC15's, and it sounds great! I didn't think it would make much of a difference, but leaving Beats Audio on certainly does sound better.
So you do not have to have Beats branded headphones to turn on the Beats "equalizer"?

I'm not sure. If I had a Bluetooth I would try it for ya but I don't sorry. And sorry if you know this or somebody might have misunderstood me, the beats turns on with any headset it don't have to be a pair of beats

I will give it a try with the bluetooth. I think its in the car. if not when i get home
Yes it does work, I tried it with both and the sound was just like studio sound. Can't wait to try beats with beats by dre headphones.

sounds good in the car.
was flat before, now its got some audible highs and lows.
isnt beats just an eq adjustment anyways?
would be great if youre just using the builtin media player, but if you got poweramp, you can tweak just the same.
Beats audio is a preferance thing. I hate it because it doesn't make the sound pure. I just buy better headphones, but if you do buy per say over priced and badly equalized beats headphones, then you do need a dsp to make it sound good

Agreed. Also with most headphones and car speakers you need to minimize the dynamic range so it sounds better. Add a mobile headphone amp and you'll really hear a difference.

Just wanted to add a little more info to the thread. As already stated there is definitely a difference with beats on vs off. Not sure if HTC deliberately made the stock setting flat to emphasize beats although their stock eq was never really great before they added beats anyways. Now to the extra info since no one else posted. There is a built in equalizer that's for some reason not easily accessible unless you were looking for it. If you go to Settings->Sound->Sound Enhancer not only can you change the profile; There are 3, Beats urBeats, Beats Solo, and Other. You can also change the eq from beats to a couple other traditional settings. And no they don't have any custom settings they're all preset. Using a pair of V Moda M80's other was the best profile and depending on what you're listening to you can switch between the different eq settings. Everyone can find what sounds best for them and their setup.

Can you use volume+ app with beats to increase volume output through speakers,headset,Bluetooth without altering beats sound?
