For some reason, I've been getting looping sounds and other problems since playing one particular game; FIFA 12. I'd get looping sounds after exiting and the only way to prevent this would be to minimise, right click game and close it.
However, since today i've had a minor sub-woofer issue where turning the volume up about half way or just under, i'd be getting a lightish hissing and a calm rumble (this without any sound being played out). I can feel the bottom of it slightly rumbling too and I originally thought that it could be because it's next to the PC tower with the magnet in it etc, possible interference.
Also, I am getting a very light hiss in my speakers which I'm assuming that if I solve the something that is causing this, it may stop the rumbling too.
So I moved it to just under my bed, a good metre away and re-routed all of the cables. However, I still get this same problem and i'm not sure what I should be doing?

I'm not sure how you could shield it any further to block some more of the static out.
On my setup if I turn my mixers output volume down, and my amp up it clears up significantly.

It's been working fine sat next to my PC for two weeks, feeling the bottom of the sub is concerning me with the vibrating.
EDIT: I'm also getting no hissing when I plug in my earphones into the control device that attaches to my sub-woofer, so it's definitely not a sound card issue.
Get a few ferrite cores and put them on the audio out, and cable to subwoofer, etc.

Hmm, could sound drivers cause this? I now have a feeling it could be the sound card as when my earphones are in without sound, I turn the volume dial to the max and hear a slight hiss now too. It seems this problem has started when I changed from the "Xonar DX Modified drivers" back to the latest ones by ASUS.
possibly, but unlikely, it sounds like an analogue.problem.

get some if the drivers dont sort it.
Definitely sounds like an analog issue. Probably seems worse with the drivers.
PROBLEM SOLVED!
I found out the "Microphone" part of my sound card had "Microphone boost" checked when I was configuring my mic last night. Unchecking this removed all hiss and vibration from my sub/speakers.
I guess the only feint vibration that's felt from the sub now is the vibration of the PC tower sat on the floor.
