Static is coming out of my receiver?

Question

when i first turn on my receiver there is automatically static coming through the speakers. i have it hooked up to my computer and the only way to stop it is to keep the volume almost off and control it with my computer. This is also a very old one (i think like 14-15 years old). Any ideas to why this is happening? Could i fix this myself?

Answer 1

Try wiggling the wires and find a place for it to stay to stop the static, BUT, expect alot of static along the way.
