If the problem still exists, try using a second adapter on the TV or speaker system as well to avoid grounding those and encountering interference. Either bend that piece of metal back or remove if it makes contact and the problem returns. This will obviously cause the problem to return. Note that the adapter has a little metal loop which tries to make contact with a screw in the outlet and act as a grounding device. So if you have this problem, try this very simple solution! Simply plugged laptop into adapter and then adapter into wall.īuzzing noise has been vanished forever. Three prongs go in one side, two prongs come out the other. Purchased this little thing at the hardware store.
Solution: 50 cent three prong to two prong adapter. Basically, when the laptop was plugged in, and the TV/speakers were plugged in, they managed to interfere with each other in some magic electrical way. Technical name for problem: Electrical interference caused by loop in grounding wires. The good news is that there is an easy solution. Laptop is old, and battery lasts less than an hour, requiring it to be plugged in. The problem: When laptop was plugged into electricity, the TV speakers made a very annoying buzzing noise.
Audio was mostly fine, except for one problem…. Like a public service announcement! I did a few Google searches to help me solve this problem and the web was full of bad advice, although eventually I did find the right solution, which I present below.Ĭonnected laptop to TV via RGB cable and simple audio cable. This is 100% unrelated to anything else on this blog, but I am submitting it on the off chance that my recent experience can help someone else out there. This has been getting a lot of hits, so clearly, it’s a common problem! If this advice helps you, or does not help you, I’d appreciate it if you could leave a comment so I can see if the instructions need to be clearer (ie, more pictures and whatnot).
