More Xbox 360 woes

I get this horrible buzzing noise from the TV speakers when using the xbox, now this will initially lead you to beleive it is a problem with the TV, but when on the dashboard, at the options menu (far right tab) the buzzing volume is very low and as you cycle along to the marketplace tab the buzzing gets progressively louder, or when in the active downloads tab or on a loading screen there is no buzzing. In Fable 2 when you move the camera around the character's head the buzzing can be very loud in one place and non existant in another. To me this makes no sense, I've checked all the wires to make sure they are in place and all seems well.

The TV does not buzz at all on any channel no matter what the volume. Anyone have any ideas? Could it be interference? (Only started happening in the last few months though so I don't see why) I hope it's an easy fix because it is infuriating and means I probably won't play Fable 2 if it persists.


My controller battery pack also packed it in and holds 0 charge now so it must remain connected to USB at all times or it will switch off. I love microsoft.

Are you connected with a component cable? If you are check the connections, I had this and found that I'd plugged it in wrong.

Yeah, better to use SCART than composite, the pure and bright colours can cause interference in the audio passing across because of stronger signals pushing through leading to crosstalk.

At least that's my theory, I don't really have much problem with SCART, but then I mostly use Optical out for my 360. But it is a phenomenon that frequently happens. It's just more noticeable with consoles, because games are brighter and more vivid, thus the interference is stronger.

Unless you're using HDMI/Composite, I have no experience there.

I am an absolute idiot :) So happy that's sorted now. But I've been officially sucked into Fallout 3 on the PC so I doubt Fable will be getting a go soon.

Thanks guys
