Raspberry Pi, Very loud screeching noise when playing audio.

[CillianScott]

After googling the issue, I came up with some results about audio popping. Is this it? How do I solve it?

hey sorry to bring up an old post, especially as a first message.


However, I too am having the same problem. I've tried several TV's, and when sound effects are heard, or melodies, I hear a screeching sound. Very high pitched sound.

I tried searching the forum, but this is the only relevant result I could find. If anyone knows what should I look for, I'd be gratefull.
I don't even know what the OP found in Google, cause I found nothing.

Thanks in advance for any help,

hey CurlyMo!

Well It took me a while. Had to learn how to change the advancedsettings.xml.
Had to learn ssh,
creating and editing a file
and only after it all - I realized this is the wrong forum.
I have openelec, not xbian.

however, I decided to try it out anyway. Unfortunately it didn't work.

however - I did find a solution just in case anyone is interested:
it can be found here:

works like a charm!

Mister Curly - thank you for your help!!
