Thanks Simon, Scott and others for the suggestions as how to solve my problem with the wireless headphones. Turns out that the problem was a router hub that was causing the interference. Now that I have unplugged the offending little so and so, sound heaven has returned to this neck of the woods. Martin

Would you say that’s the case? I’m wondering if the jack size is different enough and or you’re plugging the line in and out in the wrong place type of thing. I’m just trying to think of the things that have generated that sort of sound that I’ve done in the past and that’s a really simple one that’s caught me up before. Might be a pin out deal as well if the jack you’re using is one of the integrated microphone / stereo combos that’s a little bit longer than your standard 8th inch jack. Also, some apples have a single line in and out that censes, the censing mechanism mightn’t be working, and others have separate. Hope I didn’t confuse things. > On Jul 15, 2016, at 7:28 AM, Martin Brown <mbrown.bro...@gmail.com> wrote: > > There is indeed Simon.
