Why is the audio so bad over HDMI? At any volume above 15 there is A LOT of static!

Try using a different HDMI cable, if that doesn't work try a factory reset. Test to see if it's the cable or the device by connecting with the included VGA cable - if the audio is still irregular then it's a bad speaker most likely.

Probably a connection issue with one of the components hooked to the TV (mine happened to be a Sony DVD player...) removed that and the hum went away. Gave me an excuse to get a progressive scan DVD player... hooked it up and still no noise. It took me a bit to narrow it down, since I've got so many console systems. ;)

First, let me wish you "good luck" setting this thing up correctly. I have been using it for a couple of years and I am still trying to understand the "features" vs settings per the manual. I do believe the default for HDMI connections is PCM. I have also found through the "Audio Parameter" screens that there is a "Fixed PCM" setting which can be set as on our off through the Audio Parameter screens. I would suggest turning that off and go from there. Again, good luck!

I have not tried this audio should come out with HDMI I wonder if you have to change sound output in control panel settings

yeh the problem i'm having and i think the original poster is having is more of electronic beeping type noises rather than static, the static is probably just something to do with your hookup to the tv if it's fine on your computer and camera... but when i play back a video on my camera or computer i hear an annoying faint beeping sounding in the background

Did you ever have any luck the green line issue? I have the exact same issue with the Soundbar I just purchased. At 1080i it looks fine, but at 1080p to my 1080p Toshiba 42" Regza I get green lines.

@bkumarTry restarting the computer. Also try shutting down all programs that use sound like any internet browsers, YouTube, Netflix, Pandora, iTunes, anything that creates sound. Then go into the playback devices and select the computer speakers first and save your selection. Then go right back in and switch back to HDMI. Then test the sound again.Thanks,Mediabridge Customer Support856-216-8222Tue-Sat 9am to 6pm Easternsupport@mediabridgeproducts.com

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.

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 am sorry to hear you are having issues. Let's see what I can do to help. First, the Microphone audio will not go through the HDMI cord. The Mics have a separate audio out. - This is done on purpose to protect your TV. Most mics tend to produce around 13W of power but most TV speakers can only handle around 3W. So for fear of having a customer blow TV speakers because the volume is too loud we supplied the separate Audio cable (has the red and white on one side and a 3.5mm "headphone" jack on the other. - Connect the 3.5 mm jack to the back of the xstreamer and the red and white to any external speaker - sound system, surround sound, sound bar etc. , with this all audio from the device will be heard. - Also, connecting the Red and white to the TV while the HDMI is connected is not possible and the TV will give "audio preference" to the HDMI feed rather than the red and white wire. There is also a diagram for installation help on the last page of the instructions. Hope this helps, if not feel free to send us a messages and we will be able to send you more detailed instructions.

Could be cable / power point issue..the XLR cable will cut off the hum..( Balanced cable )..

Honestly, buy a new receiver. You need this, and then you can continue using the speakers you have. Trying to do this any other way is not a good idea, and will end up costing you the same amount of money and continued frustrations on lack of HDMI inputs and outputs.

I would try a different HDMI port on the TV. Some tv ports are not equal to others in the earlier TVs. The message sounds like a TV issue.

I connect the device to my notebook whit a hdmi cable, but the sound is reproduced by the X-12 speaker, the sounds is good but is very low, and the sound can not be amplified or at least I not discovered how to do it.

The issue seems to be related to Bravia Link (HDMI-Control/HDMI-CEC) Disable "Control over HDMI" and my issues have been resolved. This may help you, it may not. This only seems to help with my Bravia turning off and the random "reset" of the video input together. Audio doesn't seem to have any issues since I have sound disabled and it is being piped from the over Optical to a Sony Soundbar.

Jennifer, HDMI audio is often treated as a separate sound source. You may have to turn the volume up in windows sound settings. Also, you probably already know this: you need a cable for the audio out plug on the back that connects to your speakers.
