    Default Need help with a hum

    I have an Integra 9.8 and a Sunfire 400x7. Well the problem is whenever I turn on my X Box 360 I get this bad hum through my speakers. What can I do?

    Use a cheaper plug on the Xbox to lift the ground.

    I use a tos link cable to the pre and component cables.


    The xbox uses proprietary power cable with no ground.

    Go HDMI over the Xbox if you can, best investment I ever made. Yeah ground lift should help with hum. Check cables and make sure all are fully seated.
