I have the Altec Lansing 251 speaker setup, and once I switch them on there is a loud buzzing sound, even when not connected to my Mac. The sound starts when I connect the right front speaker, and stops when I unplug it from the back of the subwoofer. Any ideas what might be causing this?

Typically a fault of the speaker wire being damaged, e.g. the 2 wires inside the cable are touching at some point along the line.

Depends, if these speakers have permanently attached wires on them, yeah, pitr troubleshooting / replacing the wire.

And we're sure that this couldn't be a problem caused by an ungrounded connection?
