Buzzing speakers problem

[Super_Jim]

Hello all! I recently bought Logitech's z506 surround sound speakers for my pc. After installing them i noticed every once in a while when my speakers where doing little to no sound output, they would make a beeping, buzzing, ringing, altogether annoying noises. So i returned them and exchanged them for a new one. Now I'm finding that the new ones are doing the exact same thing! I think i know what it is, my pc. Because every time it is thinking about something the speakers buzz. I don't have a sound card, just the one in the motherboard. My old stereo speakers Didn't do this, but these are. For the price i payed i want them to work well. Please, if anyone has this problem or knows any helpful info, please help. Thanks all.

Can you plug a phone/mp3 player into the speakers and see if it still buzzes?

They may be more susceptible to EMP, electro magnetic pulse, or the electronic pulses made by all devices. We had a set of nice speakers that did this too, because they were right next to two different monitors and then somone plugged in a cell phone to charge nearby. Everytime the cell phone would signal to check on VMs or such it would cause a buzz or such. Get to close to the monitors and sometimes there be a low buzz in the background which is really loud in the dead of night.

My suggestion is, best wire the speakers as far away from strong electrical devices, and maybe wrap the wiring in insulation to deter the wires form acting like antennas (that is all a antenna is, copper wire with a electrical charge).

Also do this but I would check that it's not the motherboard first.
