I'm starting to think the Rode Video Mic has something wrong with it as I've put a new battery in it and the hiss and static remained the same. I've also plugged a of computer headset, with microphone, into the 5d and the recorded audio is clean as so the 5d mic input is fine. I've tested the mic on 0db, -10 and -20 and the result is always the same; lots of hiss and static...all these tests were done with the cameras audio in manual mode.

The meters were never hitting full peaking....i think the peak issue was probably bad batteries in my rode....will test that out soon

I did have the Mic gain up to minus 23db.

I think there is two issues. I was thinking they were linked. I'll  reinstall ml and see what happens..

I think I've located the problem. After freaking out that I'd damaged my camera I read in the manual that you have to use the canon a/v cable coupled with an adapter to hear anything out your headphones. I wasn't doing that and was trying to go directly into a/v jack with my headset.
The issue of very crackly audio being recorded on the mic circuit with new rode video mic may have something to do with using old batteries. Im going to try out a new one tonight and see if that improves the situation. Thanks heaps for the kind responses.

I'm also noticing that when I plug in the headphone jack to the camera the liveview picture disappears.

I am right in thinking that I should be able to use the a/v to listen to camera audio?

thanks for your reply...I've taken ml of my camera because I was afraid it had done something to the audio circuit of my camera but the horrendous noise when I plug in the headphones is still there and if I plug in my external mic the resulting recording is full of hiss and static.

I've just installed the latest version of magic lantern on my 5d. Im getting terrible hiss and hum through my headphones both with the internal and external mics. It sometimes improves if i reboot the camera. The worst thing is that the noise is being recorded. Is there something im doing wrong here?

found the solution!!!sorry

Hi there...I'm not sure how I've done this but I don't have the white balance menu anymore under exposure. I've actually done this before but that time it was the ISO menu that disappeared. At the bottom of the Exposure tab it says "White Balance Hidden"

Can someone help me here as I'm very new to magic lantern. I've just installed 2.3 on a 5d. When i go into the overlay menu there is no zebra menu available. How do i fix this? I've noticed at the bottom of the overlay menu it says that zebras are hidden.
