Why is there distortion (static, crackling or hissing sounds) from my Harman Kardon Go+Play?
- E
  Erika LarsenAug 18, 2025
  Distortion can stem from several sources: The audio source itself may have issues, so test the Harman Kardon Go + Play unit with another source. The volume might be too high, so check the source volume. Also, incorrect source selection can cause this, so ensure your iPod is properly docked or the auxiliary cable is correctly connected. Turn up the volume and test with a known good source, connecting the Aux In cable to the headphone jack of your iPod. Finally, the EQ setting may be too high, so check the EQ setting on your iPod or source device.

  A loud hum or buzzing noise can be due to several reasons. First, check the input cable connection to ensure it is properly plugged in. If the cable is damaged, replace it. Another potential cause is a ground loop; try turning off the Harman Kardon Go + Play unit and connecting it to another wall outlet.

What to do if sound comes from only one side/channel of my Harman Kardon Portable Speakers?

  If sound is only coming from one side, the iPod or auxiliary cable may not be seated properly. Ensure you're using the correct iPod adapter and that the iPod is fully seated in the docking station. Also, make sure the auxiliary cable is fully inserted into the jack and try resetting the iPod. In some cases, radio frequency interference might be the cause. In this case, purchase a ferrite core and wrap the excess cable around it.
