Distortion in sound

superlame · 01-28-2012, 14:33

Hi, I'm new here
Can anyone help me?

When i'm in bed listening to the music on my cowon S9, i hear a lot of noise, especially when the music has a lot of silent parts in it. Or the music stops, than i can hear the noise also.

What can i do about the problem, i have tried reinstalling the firmware, but the problem persists.

I listen with the MDR-XB41EX from sony

Thanks

That's strange. I've never noticed that from my S9, it was dead silent.

You sure it's not your source?

maybe it's just my cowon, a friend of mine has the D2 and that one is also silent.

If I start up the S9 and no music is playing yet pause the music you still can hear the noise/ static, it is faint but i can hear it.

I began to notice it with the sony inears XB21ex and xb41ex

I have the cowon now for over 3 years, maybe it's just wear and tear

Now that's weird - it's making noise while paused. Even though you're using relatively sensitive earphones, I'm pretty sure that's abnormal, unless you're charging your S9 (then I'm not so sure, I've found that using the S9 while it was charging resulted in lots of strange behavior).

Maybe the problems you're experiencing are due to age on your Cowon, but perhaps someone else has had this issue too.

just a hunch..radio alarm clock interference?!?

try disconnecting it for a few mins and check, if so you could try some ferrite beads\rings on your headphones or even on the alarm power cable or move the alarm elsewhere.
