A bit of advice needed. I have some relatively old but good PC speakers*, which come with an active (powered) subwoofer. The problem I have is that the subwoofer is constantly humming - even without any audio sources or cables connected (except the power cable, obviously).
I haven't taken it apart yet but was wondering what could potentially cause this. It's clearly a mains hum - but how is this usually isolated from audio components? Knackered inductors? Or a grounding issue?
