Speaker Hum
Speaker Hum
When my speakers are plugged in and the volume is turned all the way up, I git an annoying hum/hiss. If I turn the volume down in windows or mute the volume, the hiss goes away. If I unplug the speakers, the hum goes away.
Is the problem caused by my speakers or my soundcard or something else?
I have Logitech Z-2300 speakers and a Turtle Beach Stanta Cruz card.

I haven't lost my mind, it's backed up on disk somewhere.

I think it's due to your sound volume being to high in windows and the louder you put your speakers, the more it hums. I get this problem on my TV with the digital cable. I have to put my TV sound up way high to get the cable box sound at a decent level but I do end up hearing a hiss when I mute it.

I keep my master volume in windows at 50% even though my sound system connects to the PC via optical SP-DIF. You probably have a cheap soundcard that hisses if it's volume is set to high, turn down the master volume to 50% or 25% and let the amplifier in the speakers do it's job. It's better to not run anything at or near it's maximum volume if you don't have to.

I had the same problem a while back, it was my mic.
