The question remains Pat, where could the ground 
loop be coming from?

If there's nothing connected to the computer 
speakers other than the SB and nothing connected 
to the SB, where could it be coming from?

Usually in A/V systems, 95% of the time it's 
coming from the cable TV connection.

But here all you have going to the SB is 
(possibly) an Ethernet cable.  But if it's 
wireless...?
