I recently Bought Altec Lansing 641 Speakers and a SB Audigy OEM Sound card.
Love both, but with the installation I have found I have a major pain of a problem:
I am picking up Radio Signal from a near-by Antenna(about 1/4 mile from my apartment) !!
My Roommate has Cheap Boston Acoustic digital speakers and they aren't picking up the radio signal.
As Far as I can tell the staticy sounds and Music that are on the 4 speakers don't seem to be present on the unshielded Subwoofer.
Is there anything I can do?
Changing the Speaker wires isn't a possibility because the wires for the speakers isn't detachable on the speaker side.
I called Altec about the problem and they suggested Ferrite rings or beads. -I need to know where to get them.
I went to Radio Shack they hooked me up with RF Chokes and told me to use them on the Wires to the speakers...did that, but nothing changed.
Does anyone know of a way of adding shielding to the speaker wires? Or maybe the interference is coming from elsewhere.
