Re: I hear radio station as interference in speakers
A good place to get toroid cores and ferrite beads is, http://www.amidoncorp.com/ I think Radio Shack also sells a limited number of types and sizes. When a cable carrying audio is passed through a ferrite bead or wrapped around a toroid core, RF and electronic noise can be filtered out of the cable. ** Original Message From: Peter Scanlon ** >Hello, > > >>able to eliminate it by running the cable from the speakers >>through a toroid a couple of times right at the plug.

Re: I hear radio station as interference in speakers
Matthew, Does the interference disappear if you unplug the speakers from the sound card of the computer? If so, you might be able to eliminate it by running the cable from the speakers through a toroid a couple of times right at the plug. You often see this done with monitor cables and with other peripherals. ** Original Message From: Matthew Bullis ** >Hello, it's extremely annoying that I can hear a local radio >station at low volume when I use my computer speakers.

I hear radio station as interference in speakers
Hello, it's extremely annoying that I can hear a local radio station at low volume when I use my computer speakers. The speakers are the amplified kind with a subwoofer, and so they must be plugged in to operate. I've got them plugged into a power strip, but switching them to another outlet without the power strip doesn't solve the problem that I can hear the radio station at a low, but annoyingly noticeable volume. It makes it hard to concentrate, especially when I'm doing audio editing. Is there something I can do to fix this, either by changing something, or buying a filter? This has nothing to do with the computer, as just having the speakers on will produce the radio station. Thanks a lot. Matthew Tired of Hotmail?
