Just got it today. Loud static so bad I can't even hear audio. Anyone else have this problem?

I have not had that problem, love mine, sorry I was not any help, sounds like a defect or an impedance problem to me.

I do not have this problem. I used it with my Nikon 800D and no any static. If you suspect any manufacturing trouble, you can always return it for a change and try a new one out.

I have used my unit two to three times since I acquired it but it was only for short movie clips. I did not notice any static. May be you should return it for a replacement before the warrantee period expired. I found it very helpful in suppressing autofocus noise and wind noise while shooting movies.

I've never had that problem (except in high wind conditions) and I've used mine quite a bit. (Probably 45 hours or more) I would consider the possibility of a defect.

Haven't had that problem with mine. Be sure your cable is securely plugged into your camera and mic is my only suggestion.

I had somewhat the same problem. It looked like my audio cable was working but really was not. They sent me a new cable and now it works fine

No I haven't had any issues with either of mine. Do you have the audio enabled?

Exact same thing happened to me. I am in the process of shipping it out for repair. The unit is of terrible construction and the electronics flaked. I actually got a sub -woofer and wireless surround speakers for my TV which are 10 times better.

I seem to have the same problem. I am not well versed in audio components and assume that that must be normal. I am hopeful someone will have a better answer or can offer a solution.

How did you connect the wiring? Did you use butt connectors, solder, tape? I have never encountered static other than for the split second when you switch the device on and it interferes with 87.9. Then it goes quiet. You might check the gain setting on the device with a flathead screwdriver. Mine is turned up all the way.

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.

Mine is terrible. Horrible resolution and delayed sound. This product is worthless.

I remember having that issue when I first hooked mine up as well. I think the source for your audio on the TV is messed up. Make sure you have audio coming out of the TV and not through a receiver or make sure the receiver will play the audio.I have to turn off my TV speakers in order for the audio to play tthrough an external source.

ok. Got the replacement.1) the static sound still exists from 1-8 but it's half as bad as the previous unit2) now sometimes i get a buzzing sound when the volume is at 0This one was also manufactured in October 2010.I'll see if this bothers me enough, else i'll send it back.

I have been meaning to return this item, honestly. The volume is low, even if you have the volume on your original device (a cell phone) turned up to the max. Also, when I used the speaker with a laptop, there was a tremendous amount of static. I haven't used the speaker since. It seemed to work well at first, but when I used it for the second and third times, the speaker did not seem to be so great. Hope this helps.

I've had some serious static issues coming from the left speaker, the speaker with no controls. It's loud; sounds like thunder. I've isolated the sound system; no inputs, nothing else plugged in around it, and yet it still has the loud static. It's terrible. I can't figure out the source. I've had the unit 2 years; I think I'll be throwing it away.

I had this same issue. I wound up having to buy extra audio cables. Was a pain in the ass.
