Sound problem

[PatKen]

I have a z5500 5.1 speaker kit form Logitech. So far i am very happy with the product, but i can hear a buzzing of humming in the speaker. I have a sound example of the problem, but it wont let me upload it on this website.

I'd guess it's a ground loop hum without hearing it....you might try this, tho https://www.audioholics.com/home-theater-connection/ground-loops-eliminating-system-hum-and-buzz

The files for upload are limited to type (mostly picture oriented)....what form were you trying to use?

Not a supported attachment file type that I can see....can you put it in a zip file? You could do it in other ways, like a link to a separate hosting site ....

Unplug all input cables- if it still hums and buzzes, it's just noisy.

Just noisy, how can it be just noisy, this is too simple of a anwser. Nothing is too noisy for no reason

Could be defective, could be a bad design, could have settings that need to be adjusted. My answer is for a quick way to determine if the noise is from the speakers or the feed but you didn't include much info about how you have it set up, so we can only guess at the cause. Did you listen to the audio with headphones or ear buds? Maybe the recording is noisy.

WRT your last comment- budget determines quality and it's impossible to be completely noise-free at that price point.

If it buzzes with nothing connected, then it is noisy junk, pure and simple. If buzz only occurs when an input is loaded, it is a ground loop most likely, but we now see RF interference. These days, junk continues to come in avalanche quantities.

Some amps have inherent noise. If it is only in one of the five speakers then I'd suspect the speaker or its connector more....
