What do you mean by "noise"? Do you mean static?
There is a fair bit of static unfortunately with the kindle fire, and you can't do anything about it. You don't notice it that much if you turn up the volume, though.

Just because I am a Senior Member doesn't mean anything.
I do not count myself as higher than anybody else.

Try using a different headphone. But yeah, as the above user said, if you turn up the volume, you won't hear the "noise" aka static. It's a fairly common problem on budget Android devices from Samsung and Motorola.

Poor magnetic shielding

Hi all looked through the forum but can't see anyone else mentioning this.
When i have headphones pluggged into my Desire there is a noticeable hissing noise coming through them (I have a pair of fairly expensive Shure headphones) which seems to come on and off depending on whether the phone thinks it should be outputting noise. Anyone else noticed this? Was dead silent on my Iphone.
Anyway, as per the title above, when i am listening to music etc through the headphones in addition to the hiss i have just described i can hear the phone connecting to the network. Not sure how best to describe the sound sorry but it's like the one you get if you put your phone next to a speaker while you're making a call. It's not particularly loud but is extremely annoying. It's intermittent and seems to mainly occur when the phone is using GPRS or Edge.
It also occurs when i receive a call with my headphones plugged in.
Has anyone else experienced this or can anyone else test this by listening to music through headphones and browsing the web or similar?
I'm assuming it's down to poor magnetic shielding but want to see if it's just my phone or common to the Desire in general.
Cheers
No problems here using my Shure SE210 earphones. Whisper quiet using Meridian Player for both Videos and Music (FLAC).
Have you tried the earphones you get with the phone, or indeed other earphones? Just to try and isolate the problem...
I also have Shure SE210 and I rather don't use them with the Desire. The static level is just over the roof! What's more I also dislike the sound as a whole, it's tiny. I guess an equilizer could relieve this.

So has anyone else noticed this issue?
I use Shure SE210s too. But my point was they worked absolutely fine on my iPhone - this is why I believe the problem to be down to the phone hardware not the headphones. I can live with the slight static but the phone buzzing noises are unacceptable.
Hi,
I have the same issues (GPRS/EDGE noises). With any headphones I use, I can hear the phone accessing the data network. The problem is gone, when I'm on wifi. May this be related to custom ROMs and kernels? I really want to get this fixed
OK, I fixed it. Apparently I had the "only use 2G networks" option turned on! Now with 3G the issue is gone
Reviving an old thread here, but just wanted to say I have this problem with a pair of Sennheiser CX300's and Creative Aurvanas. Airplane mode doesnt help at all. As long as the phone is outputting sound, it's hissing. It lasts about four seconds after it has stopped playing sound. It is being retunred tomorrow, after HTC claimed it was not a known problem with the phone, and told me to try and return it.
The same earbuds work without a problem on a Nokia 5800 (Xpress Music "Tube") and an iPhone 3G. If this is a problem with all Desires, mine will be returned for my money back. You can't advertise a phone as a heavyweigth media phone with such a MAJOR flaw.

This hissing noize you talk about which is only 4 seconds long also happens on my iPod touch, so I don't think its a massive problem

Listening to tunes on desire with my sennheiser 555's and it sounds excellent...
Get a very slight click when WiFi connects.

The hissing noise is present all the time while the phone is producing sound AND four seconds after. So I would say it is a pretty big problem.

Cracles on headphones

Hi all!
I have some really annoying problem with my Gio.
When I plug the heaphones, I hear the analog crackles (like playing vinyls).
Have you any ideas?
Stock Samsung firmware, GioPRO 1.4 and CM7.1/7.2 - the same problem.
With DSP Man., PowerAMP EQ/Eff. and without all of this - the same problem.
I get static as well, but not really crackling. Dunno if anything can be done about it. It's pretty common on laptops as well.
So, I must to use my warranty?
I really won't to do this, I don't like to go back to stock 2.3.5, but I think I don't have any chose?
I'd say try to wait for a few more users to chime in and hear what they say. If it's a common issue with this model then it might not be worth risking the hassle of replacing it just to get another phone with the same problem.
But like I said, I'm not getting crackling so it might be only you. I'm using Particle Android btw.
me to do when I put the CPU frequency to a minimum
Maybe that's because the processor to do it slowly
Sorry for my english
Hmmmm, it have sense ;-)
I'll try to make it faster ;-)

None effect. Do you think service will do something with that?
Puck only headphones or speaker,too?
No idea about your warranty, yet my Gio's headphones also do the same thing while playing FM radio. In my case, I think the problem comes from headphones, because I hear the same noise while using them on my computer.

No, it exists on all headphones, what I connecting to my Gio (original Samsung, SoundMagic PL30, SoundMagic E10 and some of others headphones from my friends).
Switch off your 3G/WiFi while playing..
I think this could be the reason.
I think this is normal.
every gio I have seen has this noise on headphones.
but it depends on headphones too (better headphones=less noise)
I dont have noise with iphone headphones attached.
see galaxy gio review in gsmarena. sound quality sucks!!!
I only have noise when on the road. I believe it might have to do with 2g/3g cells.
BTW, with PowerAmp sound quality of the gio is excellent, IMHO.
Bought high end phones today and yes I have little crack when plug in or out phones but dont have any other noise but with cheap phones there was noise all the time when music was off

Same on mine too!
Besides crancles, i only got it working at 100% when i tried with my Creative Zen earphones!
Got a pair of Creative EP480 and now works perfectly. I think that the problem might be the mini jack input, because i´ve got an Sennheiser hi quality headphones and the problem remains.
Don't blame the gio blame the ace too, cuz it has those crackles too....

I had cracles to, but if you set your CPU to not go below 480 Mhz no more cracles for me !
Strange. I suffer the issue only on stock on both headphones and the speaker.
Neither on CyanogenMod 7 nor on 9 I don't hear them.
I've found one workaround. On stock using PlayerPro with DSP pack and increased audio buffer let cracks go.
I have some noise with some aftermarket headphones on my GIO, but my original (EHS60) headset working flawless..
i have a screen off profile set to 122-340 with smartassv2 and that got rid of any problems with the sound for me.
I get a weird warbling/static/crackle noise during any audio playback, though actually it's more of a high-pitched whine that I can barely hear. On phiex's CM7.2 with $40 Panasonic in-ears.
So, to clarify, it's a non-issue for me.

[Q] Recording Guitar/Vocals on the HD 8.9

I'm new to the forum. So first off, hello all. And I thank you in advance for any and all help. I've been playing guitar for 15+ years now. And as a traveling musician I find myself coming up with new songs/riff ideas in random spots at random times. With this being said, I'm quite sure my Fire will be going many places with me. I have a pretty cool little amp that plugs directly into my guitar. It doesn't actually have any "power" output except for what the headphone jack and auxiliary output actually put out. In other words, you have to put on headphones to even hear it. I have tried recording a couple riffs to my Fire utilizing the "stock" microphones and playing through my actual amp. But at every volume I tried, the sound quality was not very great. In fact it was terrible. Now that I've rambled myself into a corner, here's my question. Is there an app I can download that will allow me to plug that mini amp or ANY amp into the headphone jack on the Fire and record via the auxiliary on said amp(s)? Can the headphone jack on the Fire even be used as an input or have a capable microphone plugged into it? Thanks again for any help on the subject.

What you are looking for is not really available yet. There is an open kit for android USB input but it hasn't been perfect yet. Unfortunately it is slow in development mainly due into googles ADK is real crappy and needs to be redone. There are quite a few articles about this and I just saw one on the front page of xda yesterday that goes into details.

Ahhh... Ok. I did find a couple articles with a very cheap looking microphone that people on the thread were going back and forth about. And it didn't seem very promising. So I wasn't about to order it. Well, I guess I will have to wait and see what happens and stick to the old trusty notebook and pencil. May have to bite the bullet and get an iPad eventually. I heard they have a couple good recording apps. But truthfully speaking, I'm not a big fan of iAnything. And their price point isn't exactly appealing either. But it's whatever. Thanks again. And if you get word of anything on the horizon, post it up!

Bluetooth Speakers

So I decided to try bluetooth portable speakers with the Kindle fire hdx 8.9 and am pleased to say that even though it is locked tight in Amazons ecosystem they got the sound output right. Might have less to do with the hdx and more to do with the lepow modre bluetooth speaker I was using though. No stuttering and crystal clear audio quality. Does anyone know if there is a way to change the DSP manager on the HDX 8.9 though?
No issues with bluetooth with my Velodyne vFrees either. As for sound there are a few apps out there that may help.

High Pitched Feedback Using Fire TV Stick with Vizio TV

I apologize if there's already a thread for this somewhere but I couldn't find anything here or on the greater Googlesphere. So, the issue is: when my Fire TV Stick and the TV are both on there's this terrible, whiny feedback noise. I can't really tell for sure but it may be coming from the TV. I've tested for it on a computer monitor at work and couldn't reproduce the noise. I'm wondering if anyone else has ever experienced this issue or if it's unique to me. The noise is NOT a distortion of streaming audio or anything like that, it seems to be produced by hardware somewhere in my setup.
