I have a problem.
My computer speakers are picking up im guessing a french radio station, there is various people taking in french and playing music.
Thing is its not coming from my computer, i can unplug the speakers from my computer and i can hear it, but only on low volume if you turn the volume up you cant hear it anymore.
Anyone got any advise? its only started a few days ago and i am totally baffled.
The speakers are just plugged in to the mains and you can hear it, its the same when the speakers are connected to my computer.
Thanks

Could it be an AM radio station, maybe?

Try repositioning the speaker cables, they are unscreened so act like a nice aerial, make sure they are away from mains wiring and any other wires, as the radio signals are being picked up from mixture of frequencies that are carried on the wires, your speaker amplifier is a bit too sensitive possibly.
If you have a wireless router turn it off and see if it makes any difference, same if you have DECT phone, or homeplugs.
Try the speakers in another room and see if you can still hear it, if not then it has to be something in its immediate area around the computer.0 -
