I think what's going on here is that the supply getting to the analog
audio circuitry in the SB is not sufficiently well smoothed for audio
applications. I assume that the hum is 60Hz or 120Hz and is a smooth hum
rather than a buzz or harsh sound. If not, these notes may not help.

When I had this, it was a duff cable. Have you tried changing the cable,
or is it permanently attached to the speakers?

Yeah, stand-alone DACs seem steep for this setup...
Cheap a/v amp off eBay might do the trick. I can always bung it on the
floor under the bed - it's not as if I need to touch/see it ever. Just
as long as that doesn't humm as well!!!
I'd be happy to plug passive speakers in to it if I could find

If you use the Toslink (optical) digital output from the SB, that'd
definitely isolate it from the next com

Right - to clear up some confusion - when I said phono, I meant RCA
outputs - nothing to do with record players. Sorry.
I've got powered, amplified computer speakers, no separate amp etc.

Thanks for any suggestions - sorry for the long windedness.
it sounds like you've already successfully debugged the problem. from
your description of the problem, it sounds like the SB P/S is generating
or passing some noise that is making it's way into the analog outs.

i've never seen a set of powered (amplifiers built in) computer speakers
that have a phonograph level input. i suspect he is using the term
more generically. RCA type jacks/plugs are often referred to as "phono
jacks". it's a holdover from olden times.
now, plugging the SB1 analog outs into

Hi,
Getting really frustrated now. Don't know what to do...
I've got two SB1s - one in the lounge hooked up to hifi etc. the
second in the bedroom connected to a pair of powered "computer"
speakers, acting as a bedside table radio-alarm clock.
The set-up in the bedroom is producing a really anno
