I got done setting up and dialing in my 5.1 system...and once in a while...I would start to hear the subwoofer hum. Talk about annoying.
I started by checking to make sure the cables were firmly attached to the AVR and the subwoofer. Ok..better.
Few days pass...it came back. This time I switched from LFE on subwoofer to Speaker in. Woot! Few days later back again.
Darn Monster Subwoofer cable I knew 12 bucks on ebay was too good a deal. I think I have a generic one someplace ...
3 hours later (and a few choice words) found the sucker downstairs. Ok...good deal...stupid Monster ...fixed.
A week later..back again. That's it... I am calling Rythmik..I know they have good Customer support. One of the reasons I bought my sub.
As I am muttering to myself and red in the face I get the bright idea...I should at least do a google search and see if it is something I can fix.
Sure enough ...took me to a thread from this very forum... It said number one cause of Subwoofer hum was a non-grounded cable coax..
Well...my AV powerstrip did have a coax in / out just never used it. I did the test they recommended...humm with cable plugged in..no hum when I disconnect.
2 min later...no subwoofer hum for last 3 weeks.
I know that there were a few threads on this in the forums but thought I would add to them as this really saved me... Hope it helps someone else.
