Solutions to Your Home Audio Problems

Are your wireless speakers acting up? We at WiHome Integration understand how frustrating this can be so we are here to shed light on common home audio problems and what you can do about them. 

Humming Sound From Your Speakers

A humming sound through the speakers is an issue that’s more commonly found in older audio systems. If you’re facing this problem, you can first try putting your home audio and source, which is your TV, game console, etc., on the same power point via a surge protector. Be careful when you do this, however; you have to ensure that the wall socket and surge protector can handle the current draw. Overloading any electrical outlets is very dangerous, so it isn’t recommended. 

You can also try isolating the components one by one to determine the cause of the problem and try changing the source audio to see if the noise disappears. If the problem persists, try out new cables with better shielding. Also, don’t forget to check whether any grounding wires provided in your audio equipment are properly connected to the amplifier; these are usually connected to a small screw on the back panel. If nothing else seems to help, you may have a faulty amplifier, so you’ll have to hire one of your trusted audio and surveillance system installers to address the issue.

The Audio Gets Too Loud

If you notice that some scenes of the movie or TV series you’re watching are getting too loud, then it’s probably due to the way the audio has been mixed. But that doesn’t mean you have to keep changing the volume settings every time as there are modern audio systems that offer Dynamic Range Control. This is sometimes referred to as Loudness Control. 

If you have it on your system, turn this on to see if there are improvements. This should reduce the volume of the loudest parts while also raising the volume of the quietest scenes so you get to enjoy a movie without having to adjust the volume constantly.
