Is there a hissing noise in the background when the device is on? (I just got one and trying to determine whether my unit is defective, just got it)

Haven't had any problems , I think you may have a defective unit. Hope this helps

I have never had a hissing noise from my unit. The only sound from my unit is the voice giving me directions.

Yes, there is some hiss. I have had a set of these for about six months and have had the wires, power unit and amp replaced but the hiss is still there. Maybe it's because these are powerful speakers and I don't turn up the volume very far (9 oclock on the dial). I'm not satisfied with these at all. I also just bought a set of Altec Lansing FX4021 speakersd and they are much clearer. I'm very satuisfied with them and they were cheaper. You should know that i only use these ProMedia speakers for music - no gaming. Good luck with your decision.

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'm not sure if your unit is defective. My newtrent does not make noise when charging. you may have to contact the company so they can help you with that issue.

no it is not normal. I get the hissing sound until i turn off the puck(i.e. I touch it). The hissing with power on appears to happen with most computers and speakers, until the speakers are turned off.

Sounds like a malfunction. Mine is completely silent. I would send it back.

I discovered that same hiss when my TV was connected to a DTV converter box, equipped with its own universal remote. I was able to eliminate the hiss by lowering the volume on the TV's remote. I use the converter boxes remote to power on and off the tv as well as change channels and raising and lowering the volume. Note that everytime the tv suffers a power interuption by either being disconnected or power outage, I have to again lower the tv volume (and raise the volume using the converter boxes remote

Yeah, it's an issue with the speakers when devices are connected. Chances are it makes the noise with any attached device, but some devices are more apparent than others. The best solution is attaching some speakers. Even computer speakers via the USB/headphone jack solved it for me, and it's actually better quality sound.

You know I had to go and check! However, I have an 828LM and no hum whatsoever. Have you unplugged (the replugged) the unit and tested it away from other equipment for this humming noise?

Never have heard anything , but hums or noises could be resistance... either from outlet or heater unit itself.... but noise shouldn't happen.... prob wanna get that checked

No I have not heard it, mine is silent, though I have yet to use it for long periods. I don't think it's normal, but if it still does what it says on the pack it's ok. If it's not broken don't fix it!

Do the lights show that the bar "thinks" it's off? (ie, it really does turn off). There are some wires connecting this to your audio source - if you disconnect them, does that cause any change? (also, as with any electronics, you might try unplugging, wait 20 seconds, then replug in). I can't think of a good reason for such a noise other than the unit dying, but these things might prove it.

I don't experience a hiss, but it's common if attaching speakers to internal audio cards due to electrical interference. Some computers are designed to handle this better. Similar to Rob, my MBP does that when attached to an external monitor. My PC has no problem. If you keep experiencing hissing problems and it bothers you, consider a USB sound card.

I have a 2 week old Sound Bar with a similar issue as well. It emits a high-pitch (electrical) whine on stand-by. No firmware updates or results in Google yet. Just your post. May call Samsung before I return it to Best Buy.

mine doesn't hum. I wish I could help. Maybe it is the model. I had one, that i loved, and one day, it just quit working. They didn't make that model anymore, and I had to cut the plug, and send it to them, and then they sent me the most similiar model. But I really loved my old one. It was beautiful. This one works great, but is not as aesthetically pleasing to the eye. :-(

Mine hisses. its not a loud hiss tho.... i only really play on the clean setting. You can get a pedal that reduces hiss.
