Humming Sound from S4
Humming Sound from S4 Posted on: 06.02.2011 by Louann Artmann I would like to figure out why there is a very loud humming sound coming from my speakers when I plug in the RCA cables into the S4,The sound is much like interference and none of the settings within Traktor seem to make a difference. Unplugging the laptop and running on battery does not work neither. The sound comes through the speakers strictly when the S4 is plugged in and never with other devices. | |

| Joanie Kublin 07.02.2011 | Yea very possibly. One thing I have noticed is with the S4 everything seems to be really bass heavy, and this isn't the case when I'm using my CDJ's on the same mixer/speaker set up. Next problem to solve anyways. |
| Leeanna Ayla 07.02.2011 | Or there was an effect that had somehow gotten triggered and was trailing off. |
| Joanie Kublin 07.02.2011 | I have exactly the same problem. It's making the general sound quality from the S4 awful as well. The louder you play the worse and more muffled it sounds. Edit - Simple as it sounds I just restarted the software and it's gone and the speakers are fine now.... At least it shows it's an S4 problem, but I'm sure it will be back. |

| Maxima Lobeck 07.02.2011 | check if the phono inputs are conected and if the balanced volume are too high, i had that and i was having hum, it gone when i lowered the volume to min. |
| Louann Artmann 06.02.2011 | Was Really trying to avoid that...Too bad, I have no option Thanks much though |
| Charline Dye 06.02.2011 | Make sure all Fx are off too. As I haven't had this problem (other than ground loop) I don't believe I can be of much help. I would call NI customer service Monday and see what they can do. |
| Louann Artmann 06.02.2011 | I'm beginning to believe the Soundcard in the S4 might be broken, but no I have no microphone plugged in. The humming sound literally ONLY happens when the S4 connection is made. I have even tried switching to different RCA cables, even bought higher quality ones but it makes no difference. |
| Charline Dye 06.02.2011 | I would have immediately said it was a ground loop, but unplugging laptop usually tells you that's what it is. Hmmm..... Do you have a mic or anything else plugged into the S4? |
