I hope you guys can help. My speakers for my computer seem to be picking up CB radio signals from somewhere in my apartment complex. I have heard some interesting conversations, at least one side of them. So, what can I do to eliminate these voices? I might try just rotating my subwoofer 90 degrees, since that is probably the piece that is actually picking them up. Will that help? Thanks. Andrew ---

The same thing happens to me, I can hear radio signals through my speakers and occasionally through my telephone, in my house. I always assumed it had something to do with my closeness to the U.S., I literally live under the Ambassador bridge. ---

I’m sure some heavy-duty electronics experts will be along shortly to help you. If not, you can try to install a simple capacitor filter on the speaker wires.
