Sky stream puck making a high pitched humming sound when on pause or on the home page

XxsamgoxX — Wed, 17 Apr 2024 22:52:19 GMT

I've noticed for the past month a loud high pitched humming/buzzing sound from my sky stream puck, it's through the speakers on my tv and driving me totally nuts I've tried changing some sound settings I've tried a new HDMI cable still the same. It's so annoying. Has anyone else had this issue and has it been resolved?

@XxsamgoxX Have you tried the usual rebooting of the puck. Unplug for a minute and plug it back in again? If not give that a try and if the noise still persists post back here and I can escalate your post to the Community Messaging Team who will invite you for an online chat for some troubleshooting.

Same thing here, had sky stream fur a week, but considering cancelling under the trial period. Constant whining sound through the speakers. Home hi fi is fine, only ever experienced this since getting sky stream. High pitched sound makes the experience intolerable. Currently just using my smart tv for using the same apps as on SkyStream. No problem Sort it out Sky, you have two weeks (17 years a Sky customer).

I made a complaint as was the only way I could talk to anyone, they phoned, I missed their call (one call only), and they immediately closed down my complaint, the email to say it was closed down came within a minute of the missed call. I rarely use my sky puck now, only for things I have to use it for, like sports. Shame really because can't get hold of sky and when you try they don't exactly give you an opportunity to resolve

I've just posted in another thread about this and sort of fixed it.

Go to sound settings HDMI audio out and change it from Auto to what works best for you. The humming disappeared.
