QUOTE(dwRK @ Jan 21 2017, 03:19 PM) ...its electrical interferences... Thanks for the tips. I will try when I'm home later.the question is...what is generating it? what is picking it up? objective is try to eliminate either one or better both... I suspect its gonna be tough for you to test, since you don't have a stash of cables, power blocks, dac, etc... anyway can try these process of elimination first... 1. with everything hooked up, switch off power to the box...leave the speaker power on...got problem? 2. switch power to box on, unplug 3.5mm from the box but leave it near the box...got problem? 3. if 2 got problem, switch power to box off...got problem? 4. Use old 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable...I know only one side got sound but...got problem? ... try a different power block to the box if possible...ask friend who has similar or different box to try... Nobody else has this box.. I remembered I had this issue with one sided speaker issue on my white HyppTV box but the box is not with me now. QUOTE(dwRK @ Jan 21 2017, 03:20 PM) I can't. I will just get a TV and close case then. |

Don't have to be the same box...just wanna check is it yr box problem...ie, their box no buzzz, swap your box...buzzz...Nobody else has this box.. I remembered I had this issue with one sided speaker issue on my white HyppTV box but the box is not with me now. I can't. I will just get a TV and close case then. Also if power supply is same...is your supply causing the buzzz... Go test it on TV...using HDMI & red/white plug... This test not about one sided sound...wanna check is it new cable problem...ie, old 3.5mm cable no buzzz, new 2-piece cable...buzzz...even though it's only one sided buzzz If box/supply is problem...quickly exchange lor... Ok to clarify...i said try not to use cable mean use connector as suggested by botak_wai...less cable less chance of problems...btw shorter is better than longer...

Using TV 2 apps a fair bit to watch the music videos since I got my Himedia for about a yr now. Like watching channel 411, especially now my favourite Chinese singer, Xie Tian Xiao. Like the drum beats, guitar etc. Only problem is, it is in stereo only.
Like to know where can I get concerts in surround 5.1. I have tried a few other apps/add-ons but they are all in stereo only. Thanks. This post has been edited by plumberly: Jan 21 2017, 08:22 PM |

Was hoping to get some 5.1 concerts to enjoy. Realised my mistake. Did not know that both A & B main speakers have been selected on my AVR, this disabled the ProLogic II. Now I can get surround BUT Prologic is not the actual true surround (surround from stereo). So still looking for 5.1 concerts ..... Ha. |

Thanks for all the help. Maybe the speaker membrane is broken/torn? Open up and check. That has happened to my HT speakers and also my Pana TV speakers. No, I do not jack up the volume and thus the broken membrane. Ha. Maybe due to the humid weather etc. |

QUOTE(fruitie @ Jan 22 2017, 11:22 AM) Instead of connecting to THE speakers (AA), possible to connect to other speakers which you know are AOK? If they sound OK now, then likely your AA speakers are faulty, eg broken membrane. If they sound not OK like the AA speakers, then something is not right with the system (electronic, cable etc). Even though your speakers AA are not 100% AOK, maybe just bear with them and use this as the justification for the next upgrade? Ha. |

Hi all. Need recommendations for an android box. Mostly will be used for kodi (exodus, live sports, movies etc), YouTube as these are the basic stuff that I need.
Got astro already. But maybe there are boxes that can help replace astro? Not a priority though. Budget probably less than rm300. Rm200 better. TIA |

QUOTE(fruitie @ Jan 22 2017, 12:38 PM) I seriously doubt it's deteriorated speaker foam/paper surround. IMHO that is a wrong diagnosis...reason being the speaker plays fine when connected to your PC.You can try connecting to your phone... I suspect it will be OK too. The problem is likely caused by inferior design, mismatch impedance, & cable issues. The box has a line level output...it is expecting a high impedance load. Headphone output is designed to drive low impedance load...and your edifier is probably designed for this. This mismatch can cause parasitic oscillation... |

That's a high end term but I think I got what you meant there. |
