Buzzing noise from computer speakers (1 Viewer)

[Jim517]

I just bought a pair of Logitech Z130 computer speakers today, and there is a buzzing noise. As I turn the volume up, the buzzing gets louder. What could be causing this ? Any troubleshooting advice ?

Thanks.

As I move the wires around the buzzing stops. There are so many cables I don't know what could be causing this. We have our computer tower, monitor, printer, the 2 speakers, modem/router combo.

What would be the most likely cause?

Thanks.

It may be one of the devices nearby is emitting some signal noise which the speaker wires are picking up. I once had a pair computer speakers that would buzz when anyone within a certain range was about to receive a phone call.

Could also be that the circuit isn’t fully grounded.

Thanks. It's weird that I never had this problem with the old speakers.

Yeah, I dunno. Could just be a defective bit of wiring too. I’d probably try to exchange if it were me.

Thanks for the help

Sounds like either interference (cables are acting as antennae as Josh. Opted) or a connector is bad.
