Noticeable hiss/static through headphones - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anybody noticed any hissing, static, electrical noise, through their headset whilst a sound is playing? Usually audible for a second or two after the phone alerts you with a notification sound. Im using Sennheiser ie8 headphones.

Yep. Pain in the arse. Nothing you can do about it that I'm aware of. I tend to put my phone in flight mode if I listen to music. People can send me a txt or leave a voicemail msg.

Same here, I also noticed that when you turn up the volume using the buttons you can clearly hear "hard steps" no smooth scaling at all.

[Q] Static in Volume buttons

During music play, has anyone else noticed small amount of static when changing volume. This happens to me particularly when increasing the volume control. However, it is very inconsistent. When I say static, I mean there is a volume increase (or decrease) with some amount of "other" sound added in. This was not something I noticed with my ipod touch and was just curious if anyone else has this or it's a hardware or software issue.
Do you see when playing music through the speaker only, or with earphones as well?
Speaker is not clear enough to hear if there is any audible noise during volume increase or decrease. . . also hear it when using other music players such as cubed. Also, I was listening through my earphones to Avatar and even though the audio is very clear, when increasing and decreasing the volume I still hear what I guess is better described as a small pop instead of static. That might be a better description for the music noise as well.
Static, crackle, pop
I've been listening to audio books on my Vibrant lately and I've noticed this happening a lot. I've heard it through headphones and I have even heard popping / crackling on the speaker when it plays notification sounds.
Did this turn out to be a defect or is it an issue that everyone has occassionally but just ignores?
Thanks
Does this happen when using the on-screen volume control in the music app or only the rocker button?
Mine will actually crackle even when I'm not touching it.

Yes mine too. It will sporadically "skip" in all music players whether I'm using headphones or not.
Vibrant vibrating nicely now,Kthx!

MAX call volume?

So ive noticed this since ive gotten my Razr. I was hoping it would be fixed in the last update but it wasnt.
Ive kinda put it in the back of my head till just now.
Whenever I make/receive a phone call (Vz number or google voice) the call volume is automatically at 100% LOUD. Not terrible when im holding the phone to my head, but what just pissed me off, is that i have my headphones in and called my voice mail. FULL BLAST in my ears
All previous phones ive had will remember the last set volume and keep it at that for the next incoming/outgoing call.
Ive looked thru the settings and it looks like you can only change the volume for: ringtone, media, alarm, and notification. Am i missing something or are a lot of others having this problem?
+1
I am using a very sensitive / efficient IEMs, Westone UM3Xs; SPL rated 124dB/mW. In other word, at 1mW of power, it can produce listening experience during F1 starting grid from grandstand seat!.
I am shocked and very surprised when "Low battery" notification blasts off while listening music or podcasts. For normal listening, I set the volume LESS than 50%, and MINIMUM level during voice call.
I wish we can do separate volume levels for headphone output.
Thank you.
Anyone else have this issue?
I can control the volume separately, (normally you need the device connected if your using the side buttons) but you can change BT, ear, headphone, etc.
... and the volume change DOES persist.
So perhaps this is something with your config.

[Q] Static'y' sound when headphones plugged in and audio not playing

I've heard a little bit of static'y noise when the touching the screen or going between apps occasionally (very pronounced with dealing with charging and aux in car). I still am experiencing it even when not charing, very subtle, but noticeable. Seems like it fixes itself when an audio app is selected, but otherwise can occasionally hear the static sound when interacting with the touch or capacitive buttons.
Anyone else hear some of this occasional static?

Turn off audible touch tones in settings.
I had this same problem, and am pretty sure it's just the audio file that Android uses when it plays the audible touch tones. The sound file that is used has to play the audible touch tones when touching the screen has an extra second or two of no sound that is only noticeable when using an external speaker source through the headphone jack. This is the "static" you are hearing.

But this doesn't address the root cause. Any sound causes this hissing or static noise. It is more like audio is activated when a tone is played, and gets deactivated a second or two later after the tone finishes, and the hiss is heard in the interim. This can be heard any time audio is activated, when connected by headphone or external speaker, and most noticeable when the source audio is low or silent.
This was a problem with the Skyrocket too. Hopefully, it's a software problem that can be addressed.
Yup....skyrocket suffers from this too

Yep... same here... particularly bad when waiting for a video to start while it's hooked up to any speaker/car system that used the 3.5mm jack.

[Q] HTC one speaker blown

My top right speaker keeps blowing. It sounds like text message alerts, phone calls, and the alarm blow the speaker. I have been through 7 phones from bestbuy all the same exact issue. I try to keep the sound settings down but when I'm in call I have to turn the phone all the way up to hear who I'm talking to and dont remember to always turn the sound back down before I get another message or phone call and it blows the speaker. It will just crackle and first and then completely not work. Bestbuy is blaming me for it blowing but everything is stock settings and everything... Anyone else having an issue?
Do you have any volume or sound apps installed? There is quite a bit of power going to those speakers as-is, so any equalizers, or volume booster could possibly cause a short.
I had my volume at about 85% today listening to music, and not even the slightest crackle occurred.

Playing music sound volume decreases

I love my G5 however what is doing my head in is that when I'm either listening to music on headset or Bluetooth in my car all of a sudden my sound volume decreases on its own
I don't know if it's a setting but it's damn annoying especially if I'm driving and I have to turn the sound up again
Does anyone else suffer from this, is it a fault or part of marshmallow
Thanks

It happens every week or two. It is Android's built in safe volume feature.
It is most definitely a First World problem.
