Did anyone find that this speaker sound came with static? Background buzz? Is that normal for this speaker?

Yes the buzz is normal and annoying. If you are unlucky it becomes static that overwhelms the music you are listening to.

I haven't experienced that problem,may be a short in whatever you plugged it into. The only problem I have is it don't stay charged for very long other than that I think it delivers as advertised .

Generally, you don't want to run your audio next to power, as the EMF from the power causes noise. The static noise could also be because of improper grounding of the unit itself. It could also be the source audio being up too high. I've had many issues with balancing source volume, and speaker volume. The quickest check would be to lower source audio and increase speaker volume. Does the static persist when nothing is plugged into source? -Source: I am an Electrical Engineer

For me my it is hard to make my sound go up. When it does yes, it is staticky. If I could have returned it, I would have.

I have had the same experience (loud buzz, dropped signal). Very disappointing in a system of this cost. Is Nuforce intending on fixing this or is our only approach - as commented previously - to defeat the bluetooth and direct wire, which defeats the point of the system? With the advent of new bluetooth systems that have entered the market I would suggest that if Nuforce doesn't provide a fix to this problem that they will fail.

No issues that I know of. Sounds like static electricity is effecting the unit? I'd say its defective. Good luck!!

Turned mine up to 55 which is about as loud as I can stand it, but heard no buzzing - even during an interlude. Have had no issues with the receiver.

check the wire connection. I have to wiggle mine around to stop static, loss of sound in one ear, and clicking. I always press my connector in firmly to be sure. If that doesn't work, I'd suggest trying new speakers.

Mine is probably a dud because it has a piercing noise. It is very clear and particular and I haven't heard any other people commenting about it so mine must be the odd one. The piercing noise turns into an 11 from that scale 1-10 but this seems to be my only case.

No, the buzzing sound is always on, unless you are on mute. I had mine for a couple of months now and it seems to have gotten worse

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

I have two connected from my PC to speakers. There was no buzzing, however during installation I noticed the sound would dip out (in volume) if I bent the cable in a certain way. Best not to expect a long life time out of these if you're moving them around too much.

Hello Dale, don't forget about the volume control on the back of the unit. Also, switching the polarity might help on the buzzing sound. Hope this helps.

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.

Mine has very good sound. It does require external speakers. Maybe have the sound muted, or otherwise disabled in your settings.

I have not had any issues with mine. Some folks reported issues with buzzing, but was related to the speaker not being tightened down correctly. Buzzing without your bass plugged in sounds like a ground loop problem. Have you tried powering it from a filtered source? (I use a Furman PL-8 which was already inmy guitar rack)

same problem... at low volumes with ipod touch 2nd gen. it has a terribly obnoxious static... nothing i do seems to correct the problem. using line in, it sounds great, but that kind of defeats the purpose of the system.

I had static also. Am returning the device and ordering a new one from a different seller. I suspect the quality control may not be optimal and some may have static and others not.
