I've noticed that if I play video at the lowest possible volume I will hear white noise of some kind. Also I can hear it for a few seconds after I pressed any nav or volume button. Even if the sound is off. The only thing that can reduce this strange behavior is disabling touch screen sound.
Device did not have any contacts with water,so what can it be?
All my devices I had so far have this "white noise" through my headphones and a bit louder with my bluetooth MW600...It's just a phone okay :silly:
It's the same thing on my Galaxy Note.
Same on my sensation xe and nexus 7

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

The setting was already disabled. So I don't think that's it.
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.
I tried my evo 3d in my cars aux in today and noticed an annoying hiss that wouldn't go away even if i turned the volume on the phone right down to nothing. when the weather animation sound plays i hear the hiss but it goes away as soon as it stops. It seems when it is doing any audio processing I hear the hiss.
Anyone else have this issue?
Thanks
I found a solution to the problem but you need to buy this http://www.amazon.com/Kensington-Reducing-SmartPhone-including-iPhone/dp/B0031U1ATQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1320968215&sr=8-1

I was having that problem with my Zune and my XM back in the day. It works perfectly.
I noticed my ipod touch is way louder and the hiss doesn't change when the volume is all the way up or down. I wonder if we can boost the volume then it wouldn't be so noticeable.
It has something to do with the hardware. The ground loop isolator KiamatDusk suggested may help (not sure because I haven't used one) but better quality hardware has better signal to noise ratios. I'd say try the ground loop but otherwise I don't think there's anything you can do.
Thanks KiamatDusk I looked into this and updated the OP to show what I bought that completely fixed the problem no more his guys
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...?

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.

Doesn't matter what format it is.
It actually makes white noise more if there pause between audio, it cuts out and comes back with white noise.
I am on my second DNA due to a dead pixel in the first one and both of mine have had noise no matter what I'm playing. Pandora tune in mp3. I don't notice really at all with music but talk radio is bad. Every time there is a pause in the conversation it gets loud. Even if I turn off beats. I have a decent pair of Sony buds that didn't do this on my nexus.

This is exactly what I'm getting. I called verizon and they authorized worry free exchange to a new one.
I noticed beats will cause static/popping if the volume is too low. I always have beats disabled its terrible.
I think I know why

I also hear the static. Doesn't happen with headphones but happens when I connect to headphone jack in my car. Static stops immediately when I turn on airplane mode. I think it has to do with the phone not properly shielded from its own signal. To explain why no static in my headphones is probably because it's a simpler circuit than inside my car. Inside car may have amplifiers and/or grounding that allows current (not sure exactly, just my guess)
Bottom line is, this appears to be an hardware issue, if more serious, design flaw. I sincerely hope I'm wrong.
The static you are hearing is due to the 4G LTE radios. Try putting your phone into airplane mode and listening to the music, it should be static free. Unfortunately this is just something we have to live with for now... The only ways around it are .. well with the music at high volume, its usually inaudible (the static), or if you don't use 4G LTE. I use Google music and when the music is cached to my phone, I don't hear static, but if I play a song I haven't played previously (uncached) then it makes noise..

I exchanges my phone because of this reason but it sounds like it's a hardware issue. I have yet to try headphones on my new device.
It is really pissing me off as I stream all day at work.

I have the same. I believe that the amplifier is set to a fixed volume level on the analogue side. That trade-off would make the quality better when the full volume range is being used, but to do low volumes it has to reduce the volume digitally before it gets to the amp, which isn't a good quality way to do it. (a bit like if you have your mobile plugged into some speakers, if you turned the volume down really low on the phone you'd need to crank it to full on the speakers to compensate, and so you'd get some background hiss).
One fix would be to get some headphones with an analogue volume control in the cable, turn the volume to full on the phone then turn it down in the cable.

I'm also experiencing the low audio cut-off. Still seems to occur even with Beats disabled, just not nearly as bad. Same with the static; still persists without Beats, just not as badly. Same whether I'm in Airplane Mode or not.
Has anyone discovered a tweak/software that fixes this yet? Or is it a limitation of the hardware?
Same - usb audio maybe?
Same issue. I'm a sound engineer using dual-driver, custom molded, and very sensitive ear buds. I listen at low volume settings, set airplane mode. Completely unbearable noise, quiet parts will cut out completely, low frequency distortion. It's actually a little better with Beats enabled.
Supposedly this phone supports external USB audio - anyone tried it?

I've had this issue with every android device I've owned, I think its something dealing with the OS and file format the song is in. Never had static issues on my IOS devices.

Hy guys!
I've just noticed, that if I use my Nexus 9 with my earphones (edit: without earphones too, I've put it next to my ears and heard it), I get some white noise like sound for a short time after opening an app, going back to home screen or watching videos.... (Almost always, while watching video, than constantly)
It's quite quiet, but a bit annoying.
I'm using CM12 nightlies but I heard that also on stock ROM.
Am I the only one?
Is there a solution for this to fix it?
Thanks in advance!
Nope, you're not the only one. I get it on my bluetooth headphones on both the N9 and my old N7. Don't know what causes it, but it seems to be inherent in android.

Yep, can confirm I've had this happen. I thought I heard white noise when my headphones were plugged in, but I wasn't quite sure. This seems be a problem with both speakers and headphones, so definitely a software bug. I have not experienced this on my nexus 5, but I'm not sure if it's nexus 9 only.
My Nexus9 LTE has the same issue,
I always hear noise with earpiece while doing actions( such click item, etc..)
