Sounds weird? Does anyone think it sounds hollow? Is there any way to fix this?

Thank you for suggesting the settings; I had played around with the other sound settings ( Rock, Pop, etc.) buy didn't try the Equalizer settings. I tried adjusting them and am well satisfied now.

Play with the audio settings. There are quite a few. Default settings sound poor (hollow,low volume) but can be adjusted to more than adequate. Cant remember orig settings, but can give you my AUDIO setup config:SRS TruSurround HD <Off>SRS TruVolume <On>Equalizer Settings <OFF> *important* Base <75>Treble <50>Make sure the EQ setting is not set to Rock, Pop or Disco (they sound like garbage). Setting it to OFF allows access to Base & Treble menu/adjustments. Overall the sound is above average for what you are paying. More than ample volume once you get the settings tweaked.

The back ground noise is SO loud. I have tried many things to make it quieter because I can't hear the voices and words over the noise. Most recently some one told me to put a piece of bread over it's speaker while recording to cut fuzz, that kind of worked but I would suggest an audio program to cut it out maybe?

Sounds defective. I would suggest returning it for a refund. I had the same issue with one I received.

Sounds like something might be uneven. Mine is very quiet with no vibration

Hate to say sounds like something wrong. I get the idea. Mine isn't that loud, but there is like an air noise, but doesn't seem to be a bad noise. Or hum, like some I've heard. Mine is more just the "perk" noise.Did you buy it from here. How often used? I'd contact Hamilton beach and ask. Since Amazon is merely the holder, Beach should know more the personality of unit.

Ours did not have this problem. It sounds like a defect. See about exchanging.

Mine sounds awesome. I couldn't be more please for the price to quality ratio. I've had a few of my fellow players comment on it's good sound. I can't, of course, say what yours might sound like but I'm pleased with mine and have had it for quite a while now ... good luck

Hi, Roger. It's crunchy loud...I mean, I'm an audio engineer and I would not have this in the studio when recording. That's how loud the crunching is. I use it as a backup drive though, so no worries there. It's stable but scratchy when reading/writing data.

I think the surround sound just makes all the background noise louder!!! I am trying so hard to figure out to just have the voices loud. So far I have found out that surround should be off and I play with the pop or flat settings and balance

It's noticeable but not the worst I've heard. Putting it up high (be careful, drippage) might block it. We had music and the noise wasn't a problem. Can definitely talk over it.Please be aware that I personally had TERRIBLE dripping problems with mine but perhaps it was a defective item. Best of luck if you purchase!

I have an older one, and this newer one I just got. The newer is certainly louder but it is just a buzz - no clanking, which can't be normal. I agree about trying to adjust that screw. As I recall, I had it on as I adjusted it and could hear the sound change. Good luck.

I don't know, My son said his is fine. nothing wrong with the sound on his. Sorry I can't help with that. Maybe it has a defect.

Sorry but that does not sound normal. Ive had mine for a while now and it hasnt made one noice yet. Check your warranty, might be a problem in the upcomming future.

No, my unit does NOT make such a sound. I DO think it is faulty. Please return it, ASAP, but be sure you tell them why.

It sounds like a defect w/ the game itself, probably should contact the seller

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

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.
