There is a ground loop somewhere. You need an isolation transformer in
the audio line. You can try a passive device like this, or get an active
device which costs a bit more https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08G9J74VX Cable

I have a Uniden Home Patrol scanner that I stream the audio from and it’s
worked great for years. Recently the IT department replaced the computer and
now I get a 60 cycle hum in the audio. I have a stereo cable going from the
audio out on the Home Patrol to the headphone jack on the computer. Any idea on
how to solve this problem could earn you a free cheeseburger 🍔.
Thanks
