Solution A A americanaudiophile Nov 27, 2015 Sounds like you have a ground loop. You can try plugging the power supply for the speakers into a different outlet, using a ground lifter to disconnect the ground on the speaker power cord (if it has a three prong plug), or use one of these http/www.amazon.com/PAC-Ground-Isolator-3-5-Applications/dp/B001EAQTRI/ref=pd_bxgy_e_img_y between the speakers and PC.

Disconnect internet completely, did the BUZZ go away? You might need a cable gound isolation transformer. Seems like you have a GROUND LOOP. And yes, it is fixable. Upvote 0 Downvote
