Speakers getting interference

Hi Group

I'm looking for a simple solution to an annoying problem.

On my PC I've got a set of external (mains powered) speakers. I've got a
couple of annoying problems that I'm sure should be rectifiable, but I don't
know how!

1. When the speakers are turned up high I hear a mains (60Hz) hum.
2. I sometimes get really heavy interference from what sounds like local
walkie-talkie / taxi service / emergency service (mainly noticable when the
speakers are (i.e. powered up) but have no audio output going to them.

Any ideas how to stop this?

Cheers

First off, check & clean the connectors on the flat cable plug & socket from
the soundcard. Sounds like the earth pin may be a bit intermittent.
 
If the speakers' power is from a wall-wart (transformer), look for a better
quality one. Might be hard to find though.

or

Don't turn them up so high!<g>
