Static from my speakers

Two things:

1) You have speakers connected to your input jack? :p

2) How long have you had the speakers? Age will produce static/noise due to dirty volume controls and/or worn jacks/plugs. Try wiggling your cabling and tweaking the volume control and see if the problem rears up.

Hope this helps.

Input jack, output jack, whatever. It's plugged in the right place.

What I'm leery of is that it's a sign of something more seriously electrically wrong. I'm in the habit of leaving it running overnight and such, and don't want to wake up to find something major fried.
