How to stop hum/buzz in computer subwoofer?

Question

Hi, I have a sound card and 5.1 speaker system on my computer. Last night the subwoofer started humming/buzzing, so I had to mute everything because I didn't want anything to "blow." Is this static because of the cold, dry winter air? How can I fix this so I can play music again? I'm dying without it! lol

Answer 1

It's not static. More likely, you've got a loose connection somewhere, or something metallic touching one of the speaker wires or sound cables.

Answer 2

try changing your starting over check wiring and change your rca wire( jack could be bad) going from  output on your computer  into your sub input...

Answer 3

Try looking for something like the link I sent ya. Also, there is an a/c adaptor that takes the three prong plug and brings it down to two prongs. It's a ground isolator to. It helped me when I was having trouble similar to yours. Try those suggestions. Do the three prong to two prong idea 1st. You can get that at any harware store. If it costs u more than $2, your getting robbed. G'luck. Let me know how it does if u are successful. Thx!
