Changing the individual plugs on each piece might make a difference. Ungrounding ea plug to allow them to be changed 1 by 1. I'm wondering if it might be a harmonic phase between something that is causing a vibration. When you load the system the psu changes current and will vibrate differently at different loads.

Well there are only two things on the power strip that have ground wires: my case and my monitor.

Remove the computer from the whole loop to see if it is coming from it. Do you have a MP3 player or something that uses headphones? Plug that into your speaker system if no buzz on any of the chanels then move to your computer components. Do a minimum start up. Meaning use only the things you need to get into windows with sound. The Fiber optic will not be a problem.

Also if you can move all fans off of your motherboards fan headers.

I am heading home and eating so see me back here in like an hour and a half.

Here's our results:

Moved PC to new outlet: still buzzing
Plugged in headphones to the headphone out on my speakers: buzzing gone
Used CD player as input, no headphones: buzzing gone

So basically, there is only buzzing when the input is the computer (wether digital or analog input), and when going through the speakers. The buzzing does not go through the headphones, which narrows it down to it coming from the amp.

Yes I'd say the long wires leading to your speakers might be acting as antennaes for the buzz coming of something in that room. It could even be from a regular incandescent lightbulb near the speaker coil or the speaker wire. As you noted it does not come through the headphones then it probably is from the unshielded speaker wires, or a bad connection in the amp/sub box.

Edit: The fact that another input device makes the buzz stop is kind of odd, though. You can use the speakers with the CD player and no buzz--or the computer with the headphones and no buzz. Makes we think the computer is introducing some noise because of an impedance problem from a shorted cable or connector--might be worth inspecting all your cables and connections...

Well the sub makes the buzzing too. The amp and the sub are in the same box, so it cant be long, unsheilded wires. The only lightbulb I have is on the ceiling fan/light.

Try checking the input plug on the subwoofer.

That still doesn't explain why when there is activity on my computer, the buzzing gets louder. And their suggestions dont help either :\

Any possibility of hooking up to a different rig? might help to isolate the problem.

I think we already isolated it to my rig. I used a CD player as my input and got no buzzing from that.
