yeah the 'remote' which controls volume is connected as stated

Wow must be old then, wires and connections rusted up?

to the
subwoofer and connects the speaker system to the sound card. I don't
think its interference because the noise is extremely loud and happens
only when the remote is moved or in a certain position. Other then that
the speaker works okay. Is there a way to check for a broken line
without stripping the wire?

Yes, move the remote and listen for extremely loud noise from the speakers!!
