I'm getting an annoying 60Hz hum through both speakers. This
occurs with all inputs and outputs muted. If I unplug the plug from
the back of the computer the hum stops. Help please,


Sounds like you've got a ground loop. You could try removing the screen
connection on the interconnect. Or buy a transformer designed to prevent
ground loops from a car audio place.
