I have already tried 2 different sound cards in my computer and get the same result each time, a buzzing through my stero speakers. The length of cable is about 25 feet. I've already tried all my connections and they are correct. Feel free to email me for more info! Thanks

It's hard to say without hearing it but it's probably hum from a ground loop. You are using the type of connection that is called "unbalanced" in the industry and unbalanced connections are susceptible to hum from ground loops and other sources, such as transformers and power wires. As a test, move the computer as close as possible to the stereo, then use the shortest cable you have. Does the buzzing sound change or go away? If so, you either have a bad connector or a ground loop.
The only way to fix a ground loop is to use "balanced" connections, which use three wires per signal instead of two. The simplest way to do this is to get balanced/unbalanced transformers, which used to be sold at Radio Shack. They typically cost less than $20 each at retail. It's not a wonderful solution but it will fix ground loop hum.

Lift the ground on your Computer and it will go away.Get one of those 3-2 prong AC adaptors to do this.The reason why this is happening is that you have a higher potential floating voltage in your stereo that is finding a path to ground through your sound card and on to the third pin on your plug to ground.
If you don't have an adapter plug you could try running a piece of wire from the chasis of the stereo to the screw on your wall outlet.
If you still get a buzzing sound after doing this and/or if the buzzing is only in one channel and not the other then your cable is bad.

maximum humming is from 60 cycle hum. make specific that the wall socket you employ is grounded precise. you ought to purchase a splash 3 prong gadget on the ironmongery shop to examine this. make certain you employ 3 prong plugs with out the floor prong decrease off. make certain you have plugged the two prong plugs in so as that the great prong is properly in the great slot as a substitute of being forced in. Use an identical sturdy high quality secure ability strip for all your units rather than some plugged to a minimum of one wall socket and others to a 2nd one. No pass? Unplug that USP sound card and use the workstation's sound gadget for somewhat. If the exhilaration is going away you have a defective gadget. If the workstation's sound gadget has an identical concern you could ought to take this to a restore shop. each digital or place of work grant shop has one. Now someplace I observed (and did no longer have faith) a tale that some viruses try this sort of undertaking. Get a sturdy AV application (propose Norton NIS) and check out your gadget.

The problem is in the line. You're getting 60hz noise from the power grid. You can help fix this problem by using shorter cables and making sure the cables only cross other cables at 90degrees (perpendicular). This cuts down the crosstalk. If you are still getting noise, buy some higher quality speaker cable, perhaps even shielded cable.

It sounds like the ground on the lead isn't connected properly, if the ground isn't connected then you'll get 50/60Hz pickup from any surrounding equipment, does it disappear if you wiggle the lead? If so then that is the problem. Also you could be getting pickup from your mic or line input, if you've got anything plugged into these then unplug them a try again, if the problem has disappeared then i'd check the leads on you mic/line inputs.

Open volume controls and mute everything you dont need. TAO usually is what makes that noise, or Line In. Try to mute everything except for Master and Wave.
Make sure that ALL connections are secure to amps, speakers, woofers, etc

it means your stero is to loud, you have to turn the volume down so you don't hear it
