Hey, the ipod video can't pump video via 3.55mm to composite, can it?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
So I was moving wires around behind me computer, and when I hooked everything up, my M-Audio monitors suddenly have a hum that wasn't there before. I tried swapping out all the speaker cables, and I tried plugging in the power in a different outlet that I know is on a different circuit, to no avail. I also can't turn on or off the speakers without getting a loud pop.
I'm at a loss as to what else to try. I have a suspicion that the expensive speakers I bought are now ruined.

I swear WMM always has some backwards bug.
That's not a bug. .mov is QuickTime's format, not one of the WMM supported ones.

Tom, try unplugging your USB audio interface and/or powering down your computer (not just restarting). I dunno if it's some sound buzz buffer, but I know every once in awhile my cheap-o M-audio USB interface will do that if I jiggle the cables just wrong.

They're not USB speakers. And I get the hum even when they're not plugged into my computer.

Hmmmm, I suspect you've got the smaller version of my M-Audio BX-8's. How loud is the buzz?

could the audio feeds to the speakers be run with some power or data lines that are inducting into the speaker audio?

When I plug the speaker cables into the right speaker (the one without the power), its cone pushes all the way back, and it gives off a soft hum. The left speaker sounds fine.

Switch the speaker cable to the other speaker and see if the problem moves with the cable. If we are lucky it's just a bad cable.
