does this occur only when both speakers are connected to the squeeze box? i.e. if you only have either the R or the L speaker connected and the other speaker left unconnected to anything then do you still have a hum. Also, how are the speakers powered? Is there a separate supply for each speaker or are they daisy-chained together in some way?
