Skot37 Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 I'm pretty sure it is just because of the way it is hooked up but whenever I play my MP3's through my computer (my computer is hooked up to my HT) I get a huming noise that gets louder as I turn the volume up. I'm new at this so please bear with me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Is it in sync with the beat? [] It is probably enerated by the MP3 player. If it is, the solution is a new player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skot37 Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share Posted June 4, 2007 I play my MP3's off of my computer not an MP3 player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blvdre Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 It's more likely your cable (from the computer to the HT input). Try a new cable and see if the hum goes away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skot37 Posted June 5, 2007 Author Share Posted June 5, 2007 what kind of cable would you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toadtobin Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 also possible that it's ground loop hum if the home theater and computer are plugged into different outlets in your home. If possible, try plugging your computer into the same outlet as your home theater gear- even if only temporarily to determine if that's the problem. if that removes the hum- there are a few devices scattered around the internet that will remove it. Just do a google search for ground loop hum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
