Powered Speaker Hum

[almo136]

Hi,

I got these powered speakers for christmas.......

The problem is when I connect the speakers there is a noticeable hum/buzz sound coming from the right speaker.

The speakers are conneted together using a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable.

Does anyone know how I can eliminate this buzz?

The problem doesn't occur when the speakers aren't connected together. It also doesn't occur when I connect the problem speaker to my laptop so I don't think its a faulty speaker. Only seems to be when the 2 are joined together.

Any advise greatly appreciated!! :)

Usually speaker hum is caused by a poor ground. Check your cable connections.

check if there is a problem with those speakers in particular. I remember getting a samsung some time ago, and after googling noticed tons of them came faulty with the same issue

power block conditioner, grounding or thicker more shielded cables
