Can anyone help with a buzzing sound from my 8-month old Speakercraft CS3? It happens even if the speaker is turned off (but plugged in).

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.

My CS3 made a pop and it's doing the same thing, buzzing. Mine is out of warranty so I'm getting a Yamaha YAS-203. No more speaker craft for me!!

I do not have this problem. It could be just a manufacturing error. I would just contact the company about this issue as I do not have this problem with my speakers.

Yeah, i have the same buzzing noise. I took the car to a car-audio professional store and they told me that the sound is from the device, not from the car because sounds even with the engine off.It starts to annoy me a lot, if you know what could be the solution i will appreciatte.

I got the same issue (connected with USB) plus, has static. The on/off control is in the weird location and many times I get the Static with a noise in the speaker. They even get sound when I turn on and off the light in the room. It never happened with the previous speakers.

You may have one or a few issues going on, such as; Faulty or badly shielded cabling; Gain set too high on speaker; Plugged in to noisy electrical circuit; Noisy sound card on the Chromebook. Try a different cable and/or the other input on the unit. Know that noise can come from sharing electrical circuit with things like electric motors, dimmer switches, and some fluorescent ballasts, so check what is on that breaker & see if noise goes away when you unplug those or switch them off, or plugging the unit in at another location. You may need a power conditioner/filter if that is the problem and you have no alternatives. Set the Gain down a bit on the speaker and use the volume control at the source. Try a different source. Hope that helps, or at least eliminates those possibilities.

I'd send it back if you can--I've had mine for a while and it oscillates just fine with no noise other than WD40 I wouldn't know what to do to it.

yes, unfortunately this is true. I've had this set for over a year, every once in a while speakers stop working because speakers cannot handle "sudden" loud sounds. sometimes I am using this set as monitor speakers while recording music, this is complete disaster, the buzzing sound and cutting in/out.....I recommend investing a bit more money and getting better brand.

No noise at all! According to my fiance, if there is buzzing noise, it may not be properly grounded. We replaced the electric heaters all over the house and we are very pleased!

The only noise you should hear is the drive spinning, I wouldn't classify that as a buzzing noise. There really shouldn't be any noticeable noise at all!! I've had for over two years and have used in some rough environments, no issues at all!

Mine makes a very slight buzz every great once in awhile. I think it only happens when it needs to be cleaned. It goes away if I blow it out. It might be going away because it's been moved and not because it's dirty.

I get the same buzzing sound regardless of the placement of the speaker. Disappointing.

I have been using the this drive for several months and I have had no buzzing noises. I would be concerned about that. Sounds like there may be an issue with the drive. I had one of the book drives start dropping out like it was getting disconnected then it finally just died. I had it for about 4 years before this happened though and had already purchased another one a couple of months before the old one died. The one I have now seems to be working fine but I am not sure I would buy another one.

Mine does not make a buzzing noise. Contact customer service they will get you a replacement charger out promptly. Mine do take a full charge and last as long as the OR battery.

i don't have any trouble with them buzzing maybe it is some electronic equipment you have them around try moving them to different locations and see if they still buzz or do you have them plugged in to the right place, the speaker plug itself i mean

I don't think I've heard any on mine. If you are hearing the hum while using the RCA jacks then maybe trying unplugging it from USB/have the turntable and speakers on separate outlets. If you are hearing it over USB then maybe just try the same isolation but between the computer and the turntable.

I have heard from those I talk with on skype that the mic is buzzing a lot, and picks up background noises. It could be that my sound card isn't good enough to handle it, or that some of my settings are wrong (though I have tried to fix it for a while without luck).
