Strange External Speaker Static - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Continuum 6 RC1, TalonDev kernel (whatever is baked into RC1.)
First off, every time I restart my phone it gives a couple of pops.
When playing sounds, a low level static also plays over the speaker, continues for a second after the sound ends, and then ends with a slight 'pop' sound.
It happens even when headphones are plugged in, and for awhile on Continuum 5.6 using the speaker phone in calls would cause my phone to reboot. TB is restoring apps at the moment, I'll post later whether or not I'm still having the reboot problem on 6 RC1.
What do ya'll think? Sound like a hardware problem?

[Q] Background noise while and after playing sound

I have very annoying problem. Everytime any sound is played there is background noise which stops 2-3 secs after sound ended. This noise is pretty silent while i don't use headphones, but then i use them on ~20% volume and i'm in a silent room i can hear this noise. Any way to stop this? I'm already tried to use another ROM but nothing helps.
+1. Just started a week or so ago, flashed a new ROM, still have the problem. It sounds like the speaker driver is turning the speaker on and off, it's a relatively loud pop or click before and after any sound.
I suspect (hope) it's a driver or setting issue, but so far I haven't been able to find a fix.

CM9 Sound issues

I'm sure most of you will be aware with the horrible sound issue that plagued webos after the 3.0.3 update where the touchpad would cut all sound without notice if headphones were plugged in or out or if you just looked at the device funny..
On cm9 however, I'm experiencing an issue with the sound that is worse. Whilst watching youtube videos or doing any activity where a sound is played, the speaker often "pops" once in the way you can faintly hear speakers even there is no input, regardless of whether headphones are plugged in or not. From then, the speaker no longer plays any sound of any sort.
Does anybody have a fix for this? I just lose sound randomly and sometimes even a reboot doesnt fix it. I know that CM9 is 'fullofbugs' and that the audio libs are a mess/broken, but I would just like to know if this is a common issue with a known fix! Thanks!

I am experiencing this as well running AOKP M4b28 - it only happens (or as much as I've noticed) when the screen goes to sleep while I have music playing.
Glad I'm not the only one.

I have the issue when the screen is off and volume is >= 50% Never had any sound probs with WebOS that I noticed.
From what I've read, it has been addressed and is a know issue. You've got to remember that this wan't meant to be an Android tablet, there WILL be bugs. They might eventually get fixed but, I'm not one to complain, I've got ICS on a tab that was never supposed to have Android to begin with lol

[Q] Popping sound with Navigon on CM7.2RC1

Hello all,
I've been using CM7.1 and 7.2 Temasek's KANG for quite some time now, and it's working great.
I do have one annoying problem: when I use Navigon and enter a route, I get voice directions. After the voice stops speaking, you can hear the speaker being for a few seconds (hissing noise) and then the speaker shuts off. No problem there.
However, at random the speaker starts making (quite loud) 'popping sounds' at random intervals. The voice isn't trying to say anything at that time. Often it pops 3-4 times in a row, then it's quiet for several minutes.
If I use DSP Manger and select either option (enhance bass or the equalizer), then the 'popping'-sounds changes into a soft (old dial-up) modem-kind of sound. It's not very loud but you can hear it. It usually stops by itself, or it stops after so turn the volume up/down - and then it stops because of the 'beep' the speaker makes when changing the volume, not because of the volume change itself.
This does not happen on stock firmware. So it seems Navigon is 'leaking' sound somehow and with stock firmware that 'leaking' is just ignored and with CM it is turned into one sound (popping) or the other (modem-like). Since it can be affected with the DSP Manager, I'm also hoping there is some solution that can be applied or some work-around. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Do you still have the problem - or found a solution for it?
Im using mapfactor navigator and get all 3-4seconds a noisy sound, sometimes also in other apps. Somewhere i read its because 2 apps are using the sound chip, but i don't know if the problem is caused by cyanogenmod 7.2 or hardware issue :/ Im using android since 6 days and the first i did was flashing cyanogenmod
No, I'm sorry, I haven't found a solution. It does seem to be related to CM 7.2 however, I didn't have this on stock.

[Q] Audible "pop" from speaker when sound is muted

Hello All,
I have the official CM 10.1.3 flashed to my Nook HD. Been running great for a few weeks - no issues. I only noticed this last night because it was the first time I used it in a completely silent room with the device muted. When playing a game that would otherwise produce a sound when tapped, I'm hearing a "click" or "pop" from the speaker. It's low, but it's definitely there. As if the sound system is turning on. After a short time, if I don't tap anything that would've produced a sound, I hear it again, presumably when the sound system turns off. This repeats as I play.
It's certainly not a big deal, but I was wondering if this is normal. With the sound turned on, at the lowest setting, I don't hear the "pop", just the normal sound that should be there. I also don't hear the sound system turn off, but it could be that I haven't tested it that much, or didn't notice it.
Anyone else experience this behavior? Thanks!
I thought I heard a pop and the device did a reboot after putting in an sdcard. Possibly static related? This is my first winter with a tablet.

Weird clicking noise from speaker.

Does anyone notice a very light clicking noise from back speaker when on speaker phone right after hanging up on a call?
Just the NSA, disregard.
Lol,thought it might have something to do with radio/network stuff or like u said nsa..smh
I notice it makes the clicking noise anytime the back speaker gets used at all,there's a light hiss then click,guess kinda like an amp would sound when being turned off.
No one else here it?

Yes, I hear it. This has been audible on every phone i've had in recent memory, you probably just never listened for it before. Anytime sound is routed through the speaker you get the hissing, followed by the click as the amp shuts off 2 or 3 seconds later. Sometimes it's audible through headphones also, depending on the headphones.
Lol yeah only noticed, because when on call using speakerphone it clicks 2 or 3 times and it's just a tad louder then when turning off any other time,other wise probably would never heard it.
I have a N910F and noticed it this morning. I here it, it's like a frying noise, and if you get close enough you here it every time a sound is routed throughout the speaker on or off.
I'm on Lollipop 5.0.1 Baseband version N910FXXU1BOC3.
I don't think it's normal, Samsung is playing around with the audio system, you couldn't turn off sound completely until this ver of lollipop and still even when audio is completely off you can here the speaker fry when something is routed to it.
