We've had these Altec Lansing speakers a long time... they've just been unplugged for a while (year or so) since the hum started... but since going to broadband, I wanna be able to play YouTube vids.
This problem cropped up about the time you went to broadband? It might your router. Move the speaker itself away from the router, and the sound might go away. Moving the cables won't help, it's the high frequency switching in the router itself interfering. Even moving it 3 or 4 inches might be enough.
