I have just got an LED Dimmer switch. This is now on the wall and controls my ceiling light. This may sound like it has nothing to do with audio but my amplifier seems to buzz quite a lot though my speakers weather direct is on or not! They must just link up somewhere. Even through my headphone amplifier (the FiiO E10) through my PC, I can hear the buzzing when the wall light switch is on. To me, I really struggle to understand why this is happening. The noise must be traveling from the switch to my wall outlets to my PC and then through the USB to by E10 DAC. This DAC feeds my Pioneer amplifier through the line out and my headphones through the headphone out. The sound is noticeable through both.
However, very strangely, unplugging the COAXIAL cable from my LG Blu-ray seems to have totally stopped that sound. The player was switched off at the wall in the first place though making it even more strange. Even just unplugging that HDMI cable form the Blu-ray player also stops it.
Just to make things clear, both my PC and my Blu-ray player link up to my Pioneer amplifier through 2 separate audio inputs. The solution for now as I said can be just disconnecting the HDMI cable of the Blu-ray player when it isn't in use. When I do use it and put the amplifier onto the correct input for it, the buzzing sound through the speakers isn't really there. It is more when I have the input for my PC selected on the amplifier.
Hope this makes some sense. I would much appreciate to know the possible reasons behind this. That is if I have described clearly enough.
Thanks.
