Have you checked there's not a process running in the background making the noise?
I hadn't. Good suggestion - when I hook them up again I'll check that. But there's usually no hum with my other speakers, which makes me think when the microphone gave too much feedback it's damaged something inside the laptop itself. Not sure on that - I'll check.
Analogue output is mostly bad on laptops, the internal circuits pick up interference from other parts. If possible connect your set digitally, using SPDIF.
I'll try that. I think I was just hooking it up via stereo input or whatever it is
Hmm, try maybe try the following to rule out the speakers being faulty.
have the speakers turned on and all ready to go
then take it in turns pluging each 3.5mm plug into ur i pod or iphone or other mp3 player. like 1st do green, then pink then black etc.
play a song from ur mp3 player, is the hum still there? and try each coloured plug.
if the hum is there then its probably something to do with ur speakers and probably best to call Logitech or where ever u bought em from, since ull still have manufactuers warranty (u cud even take em back if u wanted to).
if the hum isnt there when u play it through ur mp3 player then it must be an issue within ur laptop
hope this helps Drew
Plugged into my mp3 player and it still was making that sound but I'll rule it out with different inputs. I might have to take them back if this is the problem - you reckon JB will let me return them within a few days if there's a problem or have to call up Logitech?
I'll check all suggestions and let you know how I got on. Thanks!
