The cable made you shit. Oh my oh no that ain't good did you manage to get clean underpants? Often those rubbish phones you you kiddies are bad they produce signal noise and when placed too near it produces a signature tone that all the mobile phones around the world, yes around the world cos the world earth is round. So get rid of those phones kiddies they are rubbish keep it out the room it is no wonder skywalker sound mix crap atmos today for star wars cos they have those crap phones.
I bought new Balanced 1/4" TRS (audio interface) to XLR (monitor) cables for my ADAM T5Vs. COMPLETELY SOLVED THIS ISSUE FOR ME. Not a peep. Audio is bliss now. Thanks, Justin
i bought a pair of new Yamaha HS7 monitors, and they worked perfectly the first time i turned them on. went out of town for two weeks, turned them on, and got the same noise you hear in the beginning of your video. figured out that they were making noise even without any other cables being plugged into it(other than the power cord). tried multiple outlets too, and they all gave me the same results. i actually exchanged my HS7's for a new pair, and the new pair had the same problem. my theory is that someone in my building bought a new appliance, and that is what is giving me the interference. need to find a device that can help with this as moving out is not a option.
DUDE!!! You have literally saved my sanity with this video... I have tried every single thing I could to get rid of this noise while using a guitar lead... I mean, I have pulled my PC apart and put it back together, had my sockets rewired in my room, used different leads and cables, brought the PC to a repair shop, software upgrades, different PCs connected... It was as simple as this. Now I have no excuse for not recording other than laziness. I can't thank you enough. Let me know if you have a patreon or similar and I'll buy you a pint!
Jesus, man this fucking worked for me. I've had this sound coming out of my rokit's for literally years at different levels of tolerability. I cant believe I just needed different cables this entire time.
Like 4 years struggling with that terribly buzz... i thougt i have been using a balance wire but not at all. Thank you, you saved my life, after 4 years of suffering xD Respect!
Thank you so much. It got almost perfect. I had RCA cables to my studio monitors before I moved to a new apartment. Worked great without ground in outlet. But In my new place everything is grounded, which is good. It was so noisy with rca in grounded outlet. Xrl to 6,3 balanced cable did the trick. Thanks again.
my dude, you just saved me from going crazy... just got a new pc and noticed this right away and has been driving me nuts, so I moved my pc tower away from the monitors thinking that would help but the noise was still there, so I turned my monitors volume ALL the way down on the back but still could hear that annoying noise, finally found your video and got some balanced TRS cables and the noise is gone!!! thank you man
@@Saoshaner You need an audio interface to go between your pc and monitors basically. also another issue I found when diagnosing this issue is on Dell motherboards turning off "C-States" power switching in your system bios can make this type of noise go away
Also check for lights with dimmer switches!! If that dimmer switch is on the same electrical group coming out of the main fuse box as your audio equipment it's almost a guarantee that dimmed lights will cause audio problems.
That’s the bloody noise I heard when I was setting up my equipment for a gig. Never happened to me before, but had to try and move the speakers around to minimise the electrical interference as much as possible. But all I ended up doing was changing to a different outlet, which solved the problem. Plus I was beside the electrical board for the lightning and microphone controls for the venue. Thanks for the advice.
Anyone that tried this and it didn't work try connecting the balanced TRS cable from your external audio card (outputs) to the mixer. This finally fixed my issue after 3 days of troubleshooting. Still using normal mono jacks from the mixer to the KRK speakers but that horid PC (processing from the CPU) noise has totally disappeared
I have the same issue atm, I guess it's just the fact that nothing is actually grounded and I have quite a lot of stuff plugged in the outlet, at least 15 devices or so. It is primarily caused by video devices such as pc videocard -> monitor etc. You can actually hear the mouse moving or when graphics is changing on screen. Balanced cables won't fix the problem. The only good way to solve it is to actually make sure everything is grounded properly and also prevent any ground loops as well. It does help to plug the monitor-speaker powercables as far away from other devices, maybe use a different outlet on the other end of the room for example, but this is not really an elegant solution :)
I got a pair of Yamaha HS8 and this drives me crazy. None of these tips helped actually. It's almost the exact same sound from the video. The sound only occurs when my Apple Studio Display is plugged in on my macbook pro 14". Tried everything, new cables, different wall outputs, tin foil, these amazon clip-ons, disabled all radio frequency like bluetooth, wifi or cellular on my phone..let the studio display power the macbook and also tried it with the MBP magsafe power on. It's definitely about the Studio display, as soon as I unplug it it's gone. And the funny thing is, the sound gets loud and annoying only when I move the mouse cursor or something is going on on the display. The more there is going on on my screen (playing a video, fast scrolling or clicking) the more hum and buzzing. If anyone has another idea what I could try I would really appreciate. This drives me crazy.
Hey Christian. Those "amazon clip-ons," are those Ground lift adapters? I've just read a webpage regarding a situation just like yours. His solution was to buy a couple of ground lift adapters for both of his monitor speakers, and it worked out for him. www.macosaudio.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=52239 It could stem from the points (the wall plugs) not being tapped into ground correctly. I would also suggest buying a socket tester plug if you do not have one already: amzn.to/3s9SZQy Goes without saying, but definitely take caution when working with wires, especially if they are live. (Saving my own skin here) lol. Hope that link can help!
@@cmg I'm in the same boat... please let me know if you find a solution. I'm about to throw my speakers (or myself) out of a window! By the way, I subscribe to your channel. Nice work!
@@thefunnyfitguy thanks man, I feel you! I'm this close to just buy new monitors that are shielded correctly..the HS8 are only shielded by wood instead of metal inside..
The noise is most like caused by "Ground Loop", that mean different devices are connected to different ground. Simply connect all the devices to a common ground will fix it. By the way, it makes not much difference for XLR & RCA if the distance of cables are not very long if the cables are properly shielded and grounded. If your output is not balanced , using balanced cable will not have any effects.
I get it without any XLR cables, i plug directly into the wall and still get the constant 60hz humm is this still the same issue or could it be something else? The sound on the monitor is fine, its noticeable when the room is quiet though
Clearly you no nothing about the subject. Every sound/Producer person already ran into this problem for sure. And this is pretty annoying actually. Gotta hate a bit on the video tho because he made me rip off all my fucking led strips 😂🤙
One of the other fixes is to go to control panel sound properties in your device and change the format , for examle i had mine on 16bit 48.000hz and i changed to 24bit and the humming is gone
If that static noise is caused by your aux cable try switching your devices in which the aux is plugged in- if it only occurs on your Pc or Laptop the port might be damaged or you have a bad sound card in which case you should look into buying either a new sound card or a seperate audio interface which is useful anyways. But I highly recommend you talk to an Expert first
Have you tried using a different outlet in a different room, or part in your room? It could be some bad electric wiring as well. Or perhaps the power strip that you are using could be bad, or going bad.
Haha! I had the static sound on and off for a year. I found the cable connected to my desktop and it was very taught with electrical wires hanging around it. I disconnected the cable, separated it from the others and let it hang loosely. Fixed the issue. Sounds so much better. I thought the problem was my speakers being faulty because they are old.
where can i find a dual 1/4 inch trs to dual rca cable? i'm trying to connect my yamaha hs5s to a scarlett solo and i have this buzzy ts unbalanced cable but can't find any balanced ones online
the scarlett solo, i read it has 2 balanced outputs ... but the images dont show that ... line outs ? unbalanced rca x2 ? ...i think you need a dac with a balanced output like i do unfortunatly .. dual line out xlr x2 or 1/4" trs x2. i have hs7's here and a topping dx3 pro which only has rca line outs and using rca to ts cables i get buzzing which is low when doing general non gpu related stuff but gaming ... then my hs7's start screaming at me ! im now looking at something like a smsl m500 as i need a headphone output but there are cheaper balanced dacs like the smsl m300 (no headphone amp) i have read that any cables that are 2 pin to 3 and claim they are balanced cables are lying .... it must be xlr to xlr or xlr to trs.
oh just rembered you might want to wait, if you are looking at dropping some cash as there is a shortage of dac chips atm and prices have increased .... my dx3 pro cost me £170 in sep 2020 its now around £220 !
@@CrunchyF123 thanks for the reply. i think the scarlett solo 3rd gen does have balanced outputs like you said, but I have a 2nd gen version which has rca output. after reading some forums online, it looks like that there's not really such a thing as a balanced rca output so the fix in this video won't really work with my audio interface. for now i just have both of my hs5s volume knobs turned down really low and the scarlett solo turned up high. this minimizes the buzzing a good bit
I had a pair of Presonus Eris E5's. My noise was at least as loud as yours on RCA's. I bought a cheap (cablematters) brand balanced XLR to 1/8 AUX (into my PC motherboard, Realtek S1200A). The overall volume decreased by a HUGE amount, as did the noise (likely due to the volume), but the bee buzzing electrical noise was still sitting there in the background at idle. Returned those for a pair of Rokit RP5G4's. The noise decreased even further, but just barely. I'm tempted to buy a USB interface with XLR out, or one of those mini desktop amps with DAC and go passive. Most passive speakers are not flat, so that would be a downgrade. This is REALLY frustrating. I had a cheap pair of Logitech X140's with ZERO electrical noise.
Anything that goes into the Motherboard will result in an automatic static noise output. You got to remember, Those built in audio cards are connected and relayed into multiple different circuits within the motherboard. All those circuits creates the noise. I learned that when I got my desktop back in 2008. Definitely grab an Audio Interface for sure!! Btw, you can use TRS out as well, since that is also a Balanced option with the Rokit's (double check yours just in case though! )
@@OmoiSenpai I installed an old Tascam US2x2 interface I was using for a PC mic. Connected via balanced TRS, and now the noise is 100% gone. Too bad this interface only does 16-bit, 96khz. Other than that, I'm golden.
1. Noise should be absent even with an unbalanced connection. Using balanced simply avoids the problem, it does not resolve it. 2. Balanced is two twisted identical conductors carrying the signal (one in phase, one inverted) where the interference affects both conductors the same thus it is cancelled out. A third conductor forming a mesh around the signal conductors is grounded and provides additional shielding. Therefore: 3. Tip signal +, Ring signal -, Sleeve ground (on XLR: 1 ground, 2 signal +, 3 signal -) 4. the actual problem in a self-powered monitor is caused when Power Ground is internally connected to Audio Ground within the device. It will require a qualified electronics technician to resolve it. I hope this helps.
I'm having the same issue. However, I do not want to use a patch cord. My new computer does not have a patch cord output. I'd rather use the RCA cable. Are you saying the only way to get rid of the static is to buy an interface and a balanced patch cord?

If anyone is wondering, some of those jagged sounds you can fix, but if you are annoyed by hiss in general, almost any class D amplifier will still have some even with high quality cables, a great sound card, and clean power.
True, but my monitors have class AB amplifiers and sometimes I get a weird crackling, buzzing, static sound. It usually goes away after a few seconds but will randomly come and go.
Hey there, I hope all is good. Thanks fir the viD. Do you provide studio troubleshooting services to your clients? I'm having connectivity issues with my Yamaha set up& every one is confused. Especially me lol
My Rokit 5s makes this low white noise once turned on. They are connected with balanced cables of two different brands. The white noise is audible if I get my ear too close to the tweeters. Also those prongs were already not present on the power cable when I bought them here in India.
To anyone still looking for a solution: I've had that exact electrical noise at 2:04 on my Yamaha HS5's for years that I could never get rid of. It would sound like that whether or not I had audio or video running on my computer... and just audible enough to be annoying as fuck. I have a power conditioner, balanced TRS cables, using balanced outputs on my interface, having the monitors and computer on the same circuit, and then on different circuits, etc. nothing worked. I considered the Morley Hum X Exterminator, the Pyle Hum Eliminator, and the Behringer HD400 Hum Destroyer, but these all had bad reviews online that said it degraded the sound quality so I didn't bother trying those. Today, I found a solution that fixed the issue 100% for about $200 CAD..... the Radial SB-6 Stage Bug Isolator. Grab an extra short pair of balanced TRS cables as well to use with this. So for me, instead of interface -> monitors, it goes now interface -> SB-6 -> monitors. Press the two ground buttons on the SB-6 to remove the electrical noise. This solution works for those using 1/4" speaker cables, but if you're using XLR cables then you could get the Radial Ice Cube (you'd need 2 because they're single channel but they're only about $100 each) or the Radial TWIN ISO Twin Isolator would do the trick if you prefer a 2 channel one at a higher cost of around $400. Obviously these are expensive solutions but it worked for me %100 they are dead silent so I'm happy. Radial makes great audio products, I highly recommend the SB-6 if you're having this issue. You won't regret it.
man ive been having the same issues with my yamaha hs8 monitors. i just ordered a balanced xlr to trs cable. i only get those noises when i'm gaming on my cpu but it's really really loud especially when my gpu kicks in on more graphics intensive games. i use my cpu for a mixed setup for audio mixing and gaming. i really hope this helps as i've tried every thing else.
2:06 I got a problem like this in my Adam T8V. Its very light and you can hear it when youre vey close to the 8" woofer. Tha noise is more continuous and kind of "phasy" or "flangy". Its not any loud; but its not the classic and normal buzz of the tweeter, it comes from the woofer and its not always there. I expect its an electrical power issue cause I am living now in an "old" house, do u think it can be that or is that normal?
Maybe its just paranoia cause i've got this pair last week and im always looking for a new weird noise like a maniac expecting they are broken or something
I'm so glad I came across this video. My issue was fixed by the beginning of 2nd minute. I was so frustrated with this annoying sound and I had no idea that my LED strip lights are the cause of it. I simply changed the USB port from the back of the computer to the front, and the noise just stopped. Seems I just had to reposition it.
My headset only buzzes when it's plugged into my TV set, but I'm not using a cable box. I only have a wireless setup and the only wired connections to my TV are the power plug and an outgoing HDMI plug for my DVD player. When I plug the headset into my computer there is no buzzing or crackling sound. By the way, my PC is plugged into a power strip and both the PC plug and the strip are 3 pronged (grounded). The TV plug only has 2 prongs so I doubt that going through a 3 pronged (grounded) cable would make any difference. The headset is the Samson S850 which is rated at 32 ohms if that matters any. I have a cheaper headset that doesn't have this issue, but again, the Samson S850 only has this issue when plugged into my TV and not when it's plugged into my PC. The cheaper headset also has a 3 black ring TRRS prong whereas the Samson headset has a 2 black ring stereo prong but it's plugged into a 4 pole TRRS audio extension cable. I guess the extension cable won't help if the device that's plugged into it doesn't also have a 4 pole TRRS plug. Is there anything I can do to get rid of the buzzing and crackling sound in this situation? By the way, my headset doesn't have the option to use a different cord.
I switched to the TPS cables and it completely removed the interference that I was previously getting. The only problem that I have now is that my monitor speakers are no longer as loud as they used to be before switching the cables (I also have the KRK speakers)
Hmm interesting, interesting. Are you sure you haven't accidentally reset or lowered the knobs in the back? Or perhaps something to do inside of the computer? You never know! Just in case.
@@OmoiSenpai yeah I checked, not sure why that happened but the lower volume i can deal with however the interference i was getting i could not so I've accepted this compromise
Thank you! I own the (BMR1 NEAR FIELD MONITORS) I was hearing static, I now know it was the LED setup in my desk that was causing the humming LOL :} thanks for the help!
Thanks! I had one guitar and one trs plugged in...I tested them in isolation and the TRS was quiet and the guitar jack buzzed! I do think the video could have been a little shorter bro. You will get more people liking your awesome content. Short and sweet.
Thank You! TRS cables solved my problem completely. I only wish i saw your video before i shorted my soundcard, and my whole pc with instrument cables haha
There are other things that you can try to see where the issue is coming from. Swapping cables, or electric cables. Try a different electric outlet in the house. Any of those 2 choices can help you determine if that issue still remains. If it does, there could be a chance that the speaker itself is having those issues internally.
My Rokit 5s makes this low white noise once turned on. They are connected with balanced cables of two different brands. The white noise is audible if I get my ear too close to the tweeters. Also those prongs were already not present on the power cable when I bought them here in India.
Mine gets noise on my PC but not with my Macbook, tried different power bars and different USB cables. nothing has helped not sure what else to do. When I game and CPU usage goes up, it gets even louder...
Brotha Thank you.. I got a 6.5" epsilon monitor and couldnt shake the feedback.. changed outlets from surge protector striaght to the wall outlet and INSTANTLY sounds 100x better! Mush Love
1.STAND UP 2.Power on monitors 3.Pass your hand over the sides, back, bottom, top of studio monitor 4.Move your hand away and bring it back 5.If the sound goes away when over one side you are receiving RF interference from somewhere behind/front of that side -also try touching the power cable where it plugs into the monitor then start from step 4 -it turns out wifi routers very close to your equipment can cause interference -if all else fails look into ground loop isolators EDIT* this vid is also helpful ruclips.net/video/K-VTvaa7XDc/видео.html
This is what I've been looking for! I noticed that when my hand is touching the side of my monitor the popping goes away. I have a mesh system on the shelf underneath that same monitor. Could this be causing the issue?
@@michaelpetrino4261 Yes it’s possible. I found out my interference was from having my phone close to the monitor. Something about the Yamaha HS series that makes them less shielded to RF.
This didn't work for me. I have balanced XLR to 1/8 (I think, maybe 1/4) cables that plug into a Mackie Big Knob Passive. I still get this noise. the power cable has a 3 prong and all 3 prongs are connected. Any suggestions? They are plugged into a surge protector type thing, into the same outlet as the PC
Thanks. Much better. Only trouble for me was that I ordered a cable with female on the XLR end and had to send them back and get one that was male on both ends. I am using 1/4" on one end and XLR on the other. Perfectly quiet now though. Thanks again.
I have a motu m2 running balanced quater inch cables, the motu m2 is plugged into a powered USB hub, everything is ran off a 1k UPS battery backup with sine wave output. I have tried every USB port on the computer, changed so many things around the buzzing is driving me crazy. Any other solutions you can reccomend me try?
Thank you for this video! I have been looking for this a lot. I just want to ask you if there is any difference between stereo jack cable and trs jack cable. Because they both have tip ring and sleeve.
Good video content bro. I inherited a pair of Alesia M1Active 520 studio monitors and it sounds like static going on in them. The mouse pulsates randomly and it’s annoying. Can I open the speaker case up and spray inside with a can of air?
Could this be a ground loop problem that can be solved with a ground loop isolator? Just so I know if I need to purchase either balanced cables, or a grounf loop isolator
Some users wrote about using some USB ground loop like this one: iFi Audio iDefender3.0 USB Ground Loop Eliminator www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01N3XKOLG/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_4?smid=A2M1T9YSBKVQUY&psc=1 In some case it solved their issue and some other not. It is sure on one thing, having an audio interface not powered by the USB but from external DC PSU would help as well since you can now use a data USB cable or simply rebuilt your cable removing the 2x used for the power inside.
I bought a new Monitor last week and noticed that i started getting this noise when I play games on PC. Everything was working fine before with my TV but then I got a Pc monitor and now I get this problem. I have a scarlett audio interface and yamaha HS8's. When I am not running apps and i am in desktop as I move the cursor my speakers pick up each movement I do. I do have my speakers hugging my monitor. I did move my speakers away from it and it still does that sound. I am starting to wonder it could maybe be a defective unit or I might be missing something else that could cause the problem. My speakers are running through XLR cables.
changed to balanced cables, no luck separated power cables from audio, no luck changed pc, no luck checked earth loop in house, no luck moved house, no luck I'M CURSED! 😂😂
you need pure sine wave on the power going into them, the hum is the noise in the mains voltage. Some UPS are sine wave but only on battery, others are always sine wave. any labelled as "simulated sine wave" should be just as good as well. Any UPS with automated voltage regulator might work but I'm not 100% other than that you can get power conditioners but they are expensive. If you want an exacr model line cyberpower pfc sinewave series
My audio interface a Beringer UM-2 causes this problem to my KRK studio monitors. The issue being the crappy Beringer only has RCA outputs. If i use balance cables will it actually fix this problem? Or should I get a better audio interface?
So there's no balanced rca cables? My monitors don't hiss or emit any noise when just turned on, but they do if RCA is plugged in, which is the only output scarlet solo supports.
Nah, there is no such thing as a balanced RCA cables. There are a few things you can try to do to help. 1. Keep the device, and the speakers away from other electronic devices to emit any signal interference. 2. Perhaps the RCA cables that you have are old ones that probably have been bent or damaged. Replace them with a new one, or find some that have some copper shielding. That can help. Mogami have some, but tbh. I don't think anybody tryna spend that much on RCA cables ( Unless they are audiophiles ) 3. The shorter the cable, the less causes of interference from happening. Try to keep the cable less than 10 ft to be safe. I hope this can help.
@@OmoiSenpai They were indeed short and very cheap as I had no idea what I was getting into. My interface doesn't have other jacks than RCA. So I'll have to find a replacement. And the cable wasn't exactly called RCA but it was called AV (audio video) and it was connected together in a way it made it almost impossible to split (so I had to edit the cable, although not terribly). What if I just use a conversion like XLR to RCA? These monitors have 3 possible connectors. Nothing aside from the computer is near the cable or the monitors. I live in a small old apartment so the voltage might not be the cleanest and I can't afford a power regulator. So my best option is to get an audio interface with low latency like my current scarlet solo has, and with the balanced connection. But it's near impossible for me to be totally sure, if it would work out. At least I managed to find some balanced cables (TRS).
Hi Justin, thank you for this explanation. I've got a pair of iLoud MTM connected to my Steinberg audio interface and what I'm 100% sure to hear is my GPU working. Do you think that using balanced cables would solve the noise also in my case?
If none of the above fix your problem entirely, try running your powered speakers from a different power outlet that has nothing else running from it. The cause of the noise can also be traced to the switch mode power supply that computers use, if it's on the same power circuit as the speakers. Also POWERLINE Internet distribution in the house can be a major cause of digital noise getting into your mains, so try disabling it if you have it, to see if that solves the problem. If you are in a apartment block and somebody else is using POWERLINE internet distribution, it can still effect your mains :( , they are trying to have it banned in Australia because it effects the radio frequencies used by the emergency services, that's how bad it can be. Another source of noise can be traced to having power cables running near or across either USB and/or the speaker cables, you want to try and keep any cables that are carrying power as far away as you can from cables that are just carrying signal
Well I didn't know being new to this stuff. the guy at the guitar store sold me ts cables! I was wondering why the buzzing etc.... Well got the TRS today and its gone! Thank you !
Cool but mine are connected up the right way with balanced xlr , since 2 days they suddenly hiss just the same like you let us hear in the video. I got the feeling is due to bad capacitors too, also my krk 6s had black gunk all over the electrical board inside that has moist inside. A year ago I fixed is and replaced components that where burned , it fixed all the problems but now its hissing again. Better also check the main board inside if the caps are thick/blowed up, these caps dont cost much and a quite easy job to replace them yourself.
yoo, this is the kind of information I was looking for. I've been using TS jack cables until now and there was a distinct 144hz hum when my monitor was doing work. I just ordered some TRS cables and I hope it works

@@Saoshaner You need an audio interface to go between your pc and monitors basically. also another issue I found when diagnosing this issue is on Dell motherboards turning off "C-States" power switching in your system bios can make this type of noise go away
I have just pulled my cable out to check what type of cable do I have, and then, when I put it back in, it fixed everything. How great is that?
hahaha yooo fonzi in the studio
No stg
Same looool no lie
if in doubt, switch it off then on again or pull it out and plug it back in 😁
I tried that here, but I had to wiggle it a bit and push it harder... now it works. 🤩 Thanks for the tip
Also check for lights with dimmer switches!! If that dimmer switch is on the same electrical group coming out of the main fuse box as your audio equipment it's almost a guarantee that dimmed lights will cause audio problems.
True that!
dude
thats literally the source of my white noise lmao. Thank u
damn i have wifi-dimmer switches everywhere...
Dude thank you! I've had this for ages (though *much* louder and more annoying), and I've been wondering how to fix it.
bruh you're literally the best
That’s the bloody noise I heard when I was setting up my equipment for a gig. Never happened to me before, but had to try and move the speakers around to minimise the electrical interference as much as possible. But all I ended up doing was changing to a different outlet, which solved the problem. Plus I was beside the electrical board for the lightning and microphone controls for the venue. Thanks for the advice.
Anyone that tried this and it didn't work try connecting the balanced TRS cable from your external audio card (outputs) to the mixer. This finally fixed my issue after 3 days of troubleshooting. Still using normal mono jacks from the mixer to the KRK speakers but that horid PC (processing from the CPU) noise has totally disappeared
I have the same issue atm, I guess it's just the fact that nothing is actually grounded and I have quite a lot of stuff plugged in the outlet, at least 15 devices or so. It is primarily caused by video devices such as pc videocard -> monitor etc. You can actually hear the mouse moving or when graphics is changing on screen. Balanced cables won't fix the problem. The only good way to solve it is to actually make sure everything is grounded properly and also prevent any ground loops as well. It does help to plug the monitor-speaker powercables as far away from other devices, maybe use a different outlet on the other end of the room for example, but this is not really an elegant solution :)
I got a pair of Yamaha HS8 and this drives me crazy. None of these tips helped actually. It's almost the exact same sound from the video.
The sound only occurs when my Apple Studio Display is plugged in on my macbook pro 14". Tried everything, new cables, different wall outputs, tin foil, these amazon clip-ons, disabled all radio frequency like bluetooth, wifi or cellular on my phone..let the studio display power the macbook and also tried it with the MBP magsafe power on. It's definitely about the Studio display, as soon as I unplug it it's gone. And the funny thing is, the sound gets loud and annoying only when I move the mouse cursor or something is going on on the display. The more there is going on on my screen (playing a video, fast scrolling or clicking) the more hum and buzzing. If anyone has another idea what I could try I would really appreciate. This drives me crazy.
Hey Christian. Those "amazon clip-ons," are those Ground lift adapters?
I've just read a webpage regarding a situation just like yours. His solution was to buy a couple of ground lift adapters for both of his monitor speakers, and it worked out for him.
www.macosaudio.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=52239
It could stem from the points (the wall plugs) not being tapped into ground correctly.
I would also suggest buying a socket tester plug if you do not have one already: amzn.to/3s9SZQy
Goes without saying, but definitely take caution when working with wires, especially if they are live. (Saving my own skin here) lol.
Hope that link can help!

@@thefunnyfitguy thanks man, I feel you! I'm this close to just buy new monitors that are shielded correctly..the HS8 are only shielded by wood instead of metal inside..
I'm dealing with the same, on a HS8 set too. If you found a solution, please let me know!
bro this took me so long to find. thank you
The noise is most like caused by "Ground Loop", that mean different devices are connected to different ground. Simply connect all the devices to a common ground will fix it. By the way, it makes not much difference for XLR & RCA if the distance of cables are not very long if the cables are properly shielded and grounded. If your output is not balanced , using balanced cable will not have any effects.
I get it without any XLR cables, i plug directly into the wall and still get the constant 60hz humm is this still the same issue or could it be something else? The sound on the monitor is fine, its noticeable when the room is quiet though
No wonder you have a lot of subs. You saved my ears. Thanks bro
Glad I could help ^_^
Bro just talked about nothing for 5 minutes
That’s called talent man, gotta stretch the vid in the content creation business!😂

Clearly you no nothing about the subject. Every sound/Producer person already ran into this problem for sure. And this is pretty annoying actually. Gotta hate a bit on the video tho because he made me rip off all my fucking led strips 😂🤙
One of the other fixes is to go to control panel sound properties in your device and change the format , for examle i had mine on 16bit 48.000hz and i changed to 24bit and the humming is gone
Where can I find the control panel sound properties?
@@COSCOSBEATS what OS are you on?
Took out the unbalanced rca cables and that worked! Thanks!
If that static noise is caused by your aux cable try switching your devices in which the aux is plugged in- if it only occurs on your Pc or Laptop the port might be damaged or you have a bad sound card in which case you should look into buying either a new sound card or a seperate audio interface which is useful anyways. But I highly recommend you talk to an Expert first
what if all of your cables are balanced, and you are still getting that noise?
Have you tried using a different outlet in a different room, or part in your room? It could be some bad electric wiring as well.
Or perhaps the power strip that you are using could be bad, or going bad.
Haha! I had the static sound on and off for a year. I found the cable connected to my desktop and it was very taught with electrical wires hanging around it. I disconnected the cable, separated it from the others and let it hang loosely. Fixed the issue. Sounds so much better. I thought the problem was my speakers being faulty because they are old.
where can i find a dual 1/4 inch trs to dual rca cable? i'm trying to connect my yamaha hs5s to a scarlett solo and i have this buzzy ts unbalanced cable but can't find any balanced ones online
the scarlett solo, i read it has 2 balanced outputs ... but the images dont show that ... line outs ? unbalanced rca x2 ? ...i think you need a dac with a balanced output like i do unfortunatly .. dual line out xlr x2 or 1/4" trs x2.
i have hs7's here and a topping dx3 pro which only has rca line outs and using rca to ts cables i get buzzing which is low when doing general non gpu related stuff but gaming ... then my hs7's start screaming at me !
im now looking at something like a smsl m500 as i need a headphone output but there are cheaper balanced dacs like the smsl m300 (no headphone amp) i have read that any cables that are 2 pin to 3 and claim they are balanced cables are lying .... it must be xlr to xlr or xlr to trs.
oh just rembered you might want to wait, if you are looking at dropping some cash as there is a shortage of dac chips atm and prices have increased .... my dx3 pro cost me £170 in sep 2020 its now around £220 !
@@CrunchyF123 thanks for the reply. i think the scarlett solo 3rd gen does have balanced outputs like you said, but I have a 2nd gen version which has rca output. after reading some forums online, it looks like that there's not really such a thing as a balanced rca output so the fix in this video won't really work with my audio interface. for now i just have both of my hs5s volume knobs turned down really low and the scarlett solo turned up high. this minimizes the buzzing a good bit
I got JBL I have the same problem i use without interface or with interface I hear the buzzzzzzzzz squeeze where can i buy it ?
Dude you saved my life, thank you so much
Glad to help ^_^
Dude, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I feel so stupid for not knowing this was the answer. You just helped me SO much bro!
I had a pair of Presonus Eris E5's. My noise was at least as loud as yours on RCA's. I bought a cheap (cablematters) brand balanced XLR to 1/8 AUX (into my PC motherboard, Realtek S1200A). The overall volume decreased by a HUGE amount, as did the noise (likely due to the volume), but the bee buzzing electrical noise was still sitting there in the background at idle. Returned those for a pair of Rokit RP5G4's. The noise decreased even further, but just barely.
I'm tempted to buy a USB interface with XLR out, or one of those mini desktop amps with DAC and go passive. Most passive speakers are not flat, so that would be a downgrade. This is REALLY frustrating. I had a cheap pair of Logitech X140's with ZERO electrical noise.
Anything that goes into the Motherboard will result in an automatic static noise output. You got to remember, Those built in audio cards are connected and relayed into multiple different circuits within the motherboard. All those circuits creates the noise. I learned that when I got my desktop back in 2008. Definitely grab an Audio Interface for sure!!
Btw, you can use TRS out as well, since that is also a Balanced option with the Rokit's (double check yours just in case though! )
@@OmoiSenpai I installed an old Tascam US2x2 interface I was using for a PC mic. Connected via balanced TRS, and now the noise is 100% gone. Too bad this interface only does 16-bit, 96khz. Other than that, I'm golden.
THANK YOU!! I've been trying to figure out how to fix this for so long, turns out I just needed some balanced cables! You rock dude!
1. Noise should be absent even with an unbalanced connection. Using balanced simply avoids the problem, it does not resolve it.
2. Balanced is two twisted identical conductors carrying the signal (one in phase, one inverted) where the interference affects both conductors the same thus it is cancelled out. A third conductor forming a mesh around the signal conductors is grounded and provides additional shielding. Therefore:
3. Tip signal +, Ring signal -, Sleeve ground (on XLR: 1 ground, 2 signal +, 3 signal -)
4. the actual problem in a self-powered monitor is caused when Power Ground is internally connected to Audio Ground within the device. It will require a qualified electronics technician to resolve it.
I hope this helps.
Will a xlr work ?
I'm having the same issue. However, I do not want to use a patch cord. My new computer does not have a patch cord output. I'd rather use the RCA cable. Are you saying the only way to get rid of the static is to buy an interface and a balanced patch cord?
I can't hear yours because of all my noise
Arent xlr supposed to have better quality though? They are what I have used up until the buzzing began..

If anyone is wondering, some of those jagged sounds you can fix, but if you are annoyed by hiss in general, almost any class D amplifier will still have some even with high quality cables, a great sound card, and clean power.
True, but my monitors have class AB amplifiers and sometimes I get a weird crackling, buzzing, static sound. It usually goes away after a few seconds but will randomly come and go.

My Rokit 5s makes this low white noise once turned on. They are connected with balanced cables of two different brands. The white noise is audible if I get my ear too close to the tweeters. Also those prongs were already not present on the power cable when I bought them here in India.
To anyone still looking for a solution:
I've had that exact electrical noise at 2:04 on my Yamaha HS5's for years that I could never get rid of. It would sound like that whether or not I had audio or video running on my computer... and just audible enough to be annoying as fuck. I have a power conditioner, balanced TRS cables, using balanced outputs on my interface, having the monitors and computer on the same circuit, and then on different circuits, etc. nothing worked. I considered the Morley Hum X Exterminator, the Pyle Hum Eliminator, and the Behringer HD400 Hum Destroyer, but these all had bad reviews online that said it degraded the sound quality so I didn't bother trying those. Today, I found a solution that fixed the issue 100% for about $200 CAD..... the Radial SB-6 Stage Bug Isolator. Grab an extra short pair of balanced TRS cables as well to use with this. So for me, instead of interface -> monitors, it goes now interface -> SB-6 -> monitors. Press the two ground buttons on the SB-6 to remove the electrical noise. This solution works for those using 1/4" speaker cables, but if you're using XLR cables then you could get the Radial Ice Cube (you'd need 2 because they're single channel but they're only about $100 each) or the Radial TWIN ISO Twin Isolator would do the trick if you prefer a 2 channel one at a higher cost of around $400. Obviously these are expensive solutions but it worked for me %100 they are dead silent so I'm happy. Radial makes great audio products, I highly recommend the SB-6 if you're having this issue. You won't regret it.
$200 though.. may as well buy another krk rokit monitor in that case..
@@kramer911 Your ears and sanity ain't worth $200? Maybe you need a better job. And never get KRK's man, never do that to yourself.
man ive been having the same issues with my yamaha hs8 monitors. i just ordered a balanced xlr to trs cable. i only get those noises when i'm gaming on my cpu but it's really really loud especially when my gpu kicks in on more graphics intensive games. i use my cpu for a mixed setup for audio mixing and gaming. i really hope this helps as i've tried every thing else.
@@RyanLBC Hosa trs to dual xlr cables fixed my problem with my krks completely. Was shocked
2:06 I got a problem like this in my Adam T8V. Its very light and you can hear it when youre vey close to the 8" woofer. Tha noise is more continuous and kind of "phasy" or "flangy". Its not any loud; but its not the classic and normal buzz of the tweeter, it comes from the woofer and its not always there. I expect its an electrical power issue cause I am living now in an "old" house, do u think it can be that or is that normal?
Maybe its just paranoia cause i've got this pair last week and im always looking for a new weird noise like a maniac expecting they are broken or something
I use TRS to XLR balanced cables and the power cables that come with the monitors. I ve got an Scarlett 2i2 and an HP usual laptop
Blessings bro, I was about to buy an expensive USB noise shielder thing but all I needed were some balanced cables 😁
I've been waiting for this nobody has a good video showing the setup of this
The Man-Slayer ^_^ Hopefully this vid can help out if anything!
Swapping to a different power socket from the wall fixed it for me, thanks a lot
I'm so glad I came across this video. My issue was fixed by the beginning of 2nd minute. I was so frustrated with this annoying sound and I had no idea that my LED strip lights are the cause of it. I simply changed the USB port from the back of the computer to the front, and the noise just stopped. Seems I just had to reposition it.
My headset only buzzes when it's plugged into my TV set, but I'm not using a cable box. I only have a wireless setup and the only wired connections to my TV are the power plug and an outgoing HDMI plug for my DVD player. When I plug the headset into my computer there is no buzzing or crackling sound. By the way, my PC is plugged into a power
strip and both the PC plug and the strip are 3 pronged (grounded). The TV plug only has 2 prongs so I doubt that going through a 3 pronged (grounded) cable would make any difference. The headset is the Samson S850 which is rated at 32 ohms if that matters any. I have a cheaper headset that doesn't have this issue, but again, the Samson S850 only has this issue when plugged into my TV and not when it's plugged into my PC. The cheaper headset also has a 3 black ring TRRS prong whereas the Samson headset has a 2 black ring stereo prong but it's plugged into a 4 pole TRRS audio extension cable. I guess the extension cable won't help if the device that's plugged into it doesn't also have a 4 pole TRRS plug. Is there anything I can do to get rid of the buzzing and crackling sound in this situation? By the way, my headset doesn't have the option to use a different cord.
What if you use (balanced) XLR cables and get the same noise, and you don't have the ability to switch to another power supply?
This was exactly the Problem I had
This helped a lot!
Thank you very much!! 👍🏼
I switched to the TPS cables and it completely removed the interference that I was previously getting. The only problem that I have now is that my monitor speakers are no longer as loud as they used to be before switching the cables (I also have the KRK speakers)
Hmm interesting, interesting. Are you sure you haven't accidentally reset or lowered the knobs in the back? Or perhaps something to do inside of the computer? You never know! Just in case.
@@OmoiSenpai yeah I checked, not sure why that happened but the lower volume i can deal with however the interference i was getting i could not so I've accepted this compromise

There are other things that you can try to see where the issue is coming from.
Swapping cables, or electric cables.
Try a different electric outlet in the house.
Any of those 2 choices can help you determine if that issue still remains. If it does, there could be a chance that the speaker itself is having those issues internally.

Sweet! Glad it's as simple as that. Thanks buddy.
1.STAND UP
2.Power on monitors
3.Pass your hand over the sides, back, bottom, top of studio monitor
4.Move your hand away and bring it back
5.If the sound goes away when over one side you
are receiving RF interference from somewhere behind/front of that side
-also try touching the power cable where it plugs into the monitor
then start from step 4
-it turns out wifi routers very close to your equipment can cause interference
-if all else fails look into ground loop isolators
EDIT* this vid is also helpful
ruclips.net/video/K-VTvaa7XDc/видео.html
This is what I've been looking for! I noticed that when my hand is touching the side of my monitor the popping goes away. I have a mesh system on the shelf underneath that same monitor. Could this be causing the issue?
@@michaelpetrino4261 Yes it’s possible. I found out my interference was from having my phone close to the monitor. Something about the Yamaha HS series that makes them less shielded to RF.
This didn't work for me. I have balanced XLR to 1/8 (I think, maybe 1/4) cables that plug into a Mackie Big Knob Passive. I still get this noise. the power cable has a 3 prong and all 3 prongs are connected. Any suggestions? They are plugged into a surge protector type thing, into the same outlet as the PC
Thanks. Much better. Only trouble for me was that I ordered a cable with female on the XLR end and had to send them back and get one that was male on both ends. I am using 1/4" on one end and XLR on the other. Perfectly quiet now though. Thanks again.
I have a motu m2 running balanced quater inch cables, the motu m2 is plugged into a powered USB hub, everything is ran off a 1k UPS battery backup with sine wave output.

Thank you for this video! I have been looking for this a lot. I just want to ask you if there is any difference between stereo jack cable and trs jack cable. Because they both have tip ring and sleeve.
Good video content bro. I inherited a pair of Alesia M1Active 520 studio monitors and it sounds like static going on in them. The mouse pulsates randomly and it’s annoying. Can I open the speaker case up and spray inside with a can of air?
Could this be a ground loop problem that can be solved with a ground loop isolator? Just so I know if I need to purchase either balanced cables, or a grounf loop isolator
Some users wrote about using some USB ground loop like this one: iFi Audio iDefender3.0 USB Ground Loop Eliminator
www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01N3XKOLG/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_4?smid=A2M1T9YSBKVQUY&psc=1
In some case it solved their issue and some other not. It is sure on one thing, having an audio interface not powered by the USB but from external DC PSU would help as well since you can now use a data USB cable or simply rebuilt your cable removing the 2x used for the power inside.
I bought a new Monitor last week and noticed that i started getting this noise when I play games on PC. Everything was working fine before with my TV but then I got a Pc monitor and now I get this problem. I have a scarlett audio interface and yamaha HS8's. When I am not running apps and i am in desktop as I move the cursor my speakers pick up each movement I do. I do have my speakers hugging my monitor. I did move my speakers away from it and it still does that sound. I am starting to wonder it could maybe be a defective unit or I might be missing something else that could cause the problem. My speakers are running through XLR cables.
I'm having the same issue with or without balanced speaker cables.
changed to balanced cables, no luck
separated power cables from audio, no luck
changed pc, no luck
checked earth loop in house, no luck
moved house, no luck

How about... Change the Speakers?
@@OmoiSenpai also tried that haha! I've officially given up
Similar Identical....my new favorite phrase!
my monitor speaker hums without even being connected to anything just powered on, any idea?
you need pure sine wave on the power going into them, the hum is the noise in the mains voltage.
Some UPS are sine wave but only on battery, others are always sine wave.
any labelled as "simulated sine wave" should be just as good as well.
Any UPS with automated voltage regulator might work but I'm not 100%
other than that you can get power conditioners but they are expensive.
If you want an exacr model line cyberpower pfc sinewave series
I use balanced cables but i still have a buzz like it's clipping?
Yeah watch the whole thing maybe, my electric wiring is fked up, if i plug something in something else restarts...
A nice vid, thanks Justin! A note though: balanced cables work optimally if you also have balanced OUTPUTS. Not all interfaces have them.
I haven't checked yet if this happens to solve my personal issue - but thanks man! this video was informative and fun to watch 🤙
My audio interface a Beringer UM-2 causes this problem to my KRK studio monitors. The issue being the crappy Beringer only has RCA outputs. If i use balance cables will it actually fix this problem? Or should I get a better audio interface?
Why do you tell us not to remove the ground pin, but also suggests using an adaptor which essentialy does the same thing by pypassing that pin?
I can't believe I once think this sound as normal and now with more knowledge of technology I was like wtf
tnx for great video . i'v a problem. When I change the orientation of my monitor the noise stops . How is it fixed and where is the problem?
Thanks, double checked my cable and one of them was not insulated but the other was. Changed it out and problem gone, thanks man

Make sure you cable from you computer to your interface is not running along any power cables.
Thanks! Is there anything like RCA to miniplug balanced cable?

It might be dirty power from your electrical outlet and/or interference from your computer and wifi.
@@bobtheman1 So what can one do in this situation?
Check for ground on your electrical outlet. Watch this: ruclips.net/video/m3aL_LDKm9U/видео.html
What if my DAC only has RCA outputs?
So there's no balanced rca cables? My monitors don't hiss or emit any noise when just turned on, but they do if RCA is plugged in, which is the only output scarlet solo supports.
Nah, there is no such thing as a balanced RCA cables.
There are a few things you can try to do to help.
1. Keep the device, and the speakers away from other electronic devices to emit any signal interference.
2. Perhaps the RCA cables that you have are old ones that probably have been bent or damaged. Replace them with a new one, or find some that have some copper shielding. That can help. Mogami have some, but tbh. I don't think anybody tryna spend that much on RCA cables ( Unless they are audiophiles )
3. The shorter the cable, the less causes of interference from happening. Try to keep the cable less than 10 ft to be safe.
I hope this can help.
@@OmoiSenpai They were indeed short and very cheap as I had no idea what I was getting into. My interface doesn't have other jacks than RCA. So I'll have to find a replacement. And the cable wasn't exactly called RCA but it was called AV (audio video) and it was connected together in a way it made it almost impossible to split (so I had to edit the cable, although not terribly). What if I just use a conversion like XLR to RCA? These monitors have 3 possible connectors. Nothing aside from the computer is near the cable or the monitors. I live in a small old apartment so the voltage might not be the cleanest and I can't afford a power regulator. So my best option is to get an audio interface with low latency like my current scarlet solo has, and with the balanced connection. But it's near impossible for me to be totally sure, if it would work out. At least I managed to find some balanced cables (TRS).
Thanks dude. This was happening to me even with TRS cables and I thought I'd contracted tinnitus... I found the problem was in the XLR Mic cables.
Hi Justin, thank you for this explanation. I've got a pair of iLoud MTM connected to my Steinberg audio interface and what I'm 100% sure to hear is my GPU working. Do you think that using balanced cables would solve the noise also in my case?
Did you solve this? I have the same with my speakers, annoying buzzing sound when the GPU is under load. Desperate for a solution.

@@marvingeorge8856 Best of luck!
If none of the above fix your problem entirely, try running your powered speakers from a different power outlet that has nothing else running from it.
The cause of the noise can also be traced to the switch mode power supply that computers use, if it's on the same power circuit as the speakers.
Also POWERLINE Internet distribution in the house can be a major cause of digital noise getting into your mains, so try disabling it if you have it, to see if that solves the problem.
If you are in a apartment block and somebody else is using POWERLINE internet distribution, it can still effect your mains :( , they are trying to have it banned in Australia because it effects the radio frequencies used by the emergency services, that's how bad it can be.
Another source of noise can be traced to having power cables running near or across either USB and/or the speaker cables, you want to try and keep any cables that are carrying power as far away as you can from cables that are just carrying signal
I have static noise & popping sound on my pc speakers. How i fix that?
Well I didn't know being new to this stuff. the guy at the guitar store sold me ts cables! I was wondering why the buzzing etc.... Well got the TRS today and its gone! Thank you !
I'm glad it worked out for you! Good luck with the music works :D
Cool but mine are connected up the right way with balanced xlr , since 2 days they suddenly hiss just the same like you let us hear in the video.
I got the feeling is due to bad capacitors too, also my krk 6s had black gunk all over the electrical board inside that has moist inside.
A year ago I fixed is and replaced components that where burned , it fixed all the problems but now its hissing again.
Better also check the main board inside if the caps are thick/blowed up, these caps dont cost much and a quite easy job to replace them yourself.
yoo, this is the kind of information I was looking for. I've been using TS jack cables until now and there was a distinct 144hz hum when my monitor was doing work. I just ordered some TRS cables and I hope it works
It completely fixed my problem
HELLO , ONE QUESTION I HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH KRK 10 3 G4 BUT WITHOWT THE CABLE ,THIS INTERFERANCE IS WITHOWT THE CABLE PLUG IN YOU CAN HELP ME WITH AN IDEA ?
you have to buy a ground loop noise isolator, this wil unearth the electric signal that is interfering with your speakers.
What kind of camera & lens did you record this video with? The quality looks amazing
Hey! It was a Pancake Lens 24 mm by Canon. the 1:2.8 F Stop one. I had the settings set on the Auto function though
Justin Omoi thanks a lot for responding. What kind of camera do you have the pancake lens on?
Thank you sooooooo much! You’re video helped me fix the static sound from the speaker that is hooked up to my TV in 5 minutes!!!👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾😃😃😃😃.
I just took the 3 plug 🔌 out and put it in another outlet. It may not have been what your video was about, but it gave me the idea to do it. Otherwise I would not have known to do anything about the static.
I have Logitech Z120 speakers and now I've noticed buzzing when I turn thr volume on. They have USB ppwer cable and a cable going into my PCs sound card.
I've tried them on laptop. The same thing is happening.
Is it the speakers or something else?
This is literally my problem too!
@@_ramennoodles_9740 try this - unplug the speakers USB cable from your PC/laptop then try to find some cellphone charger with USB port so you can plug the speakers into your charger and THEN plug them into the extension cord. I did this and it works perfectly
@@mkm1015 thats a great idea! Thanks so much!
Does an LED strip cause this too??
