A humming noise is coming through my pc speakers. It just started doing this 3 or 4 days ago. I have not moved anything. Everything is in the same place as it has been for nearly 2 yrs. now. I have my pc connected to my surround sound, and the noise is coming through there as well when I have my receiver set to my computer. Any suggestions?

What your getting, as far as the humming is considered, is line noise through frequency waves. This can be caused by all kinds of things from a bad receiver to weakly shielded cables coming from the PC. Shielding is your best friend and when it comes to small cables running from your PC then shielding is everything. If you have any small animals in your house (cats, dogs, mice) then there is a possibility something has been chewed through. Sometimes the line noise is caused by the computer itself simply falling apart. That's a simple way of putting it but it's actually what is happening. The small capacitors that make up parts of the power supply begin to degrade after working for so long and can transmit slightly strong radio signals overpowering your shielding.

Can you confirm that by the word "receiver" you are using a wireless connection of speakers. Lack of battery, connection or metallic interference could all cause a humming problem.
With all speakers sets the life expectancy reflects how much you pay for the item in question.
Playing loud music and audio, indeed long periods of time will damage the speakers resulting in poor sound.
It sounds like you have damaged the speakers over time and as a result may wish to look into a new set.

Yes, that horrible humming is called a "ground loop".
For my setup (Cox Cable), the cable comes into the house goes to a signal splitter which goes to the Cable Modem and Cable TV Box. My Bose Speakers are connected to both the TV, and the PC so I can listen to both through the same speakers. But the humming was infuriating!
I fixed it like this...
Connect a wire from the rear of your PC chassis to the rear of the Cable Box chassis or the signal splitter. I connected to the splitter because it has a grounding screw just for this purpose. Humming No More!

Hi,
Check for the Surround options for something like Echo or Surround Options like "Orchestra, Hollow room, stone Corridor..or someother related effects.
Because these effects will make the Out put become Humming and noisy. Also you can try Muting your MIc to see if that causes the Noise.

feels like a grounding project between the mixer and the laptop. The RCA cables won't have sufficient grounding that's inducing the hum you pay attention (probably AC hum at 60 Hz). it may desire to sound cheesy yet take a cord and restoration it below a screw on the laptop and then connect it below a screw on the mixer.

If you have them pluged into the wall the wires in the wall act like a antenna and will pick up Raidio waves or cell phone ETC if it has any signal of any kinde it will make the speakers humm.. my do that once in a while as well.
