So I've had Bose Companions for my desktop for years. I'm guessing the audio cable had very good shielding against static, because the moment I switched to another speaker and had to use a run of the mill aux cable there has been very noticeable static. Don't really feel like shelling out money for premium shielded cables and would rather have something I can use so I was wondering if a desktop amp would do the trick. Any suggestions?
Edit
Found the culprit. I had a PS3 connected to the same speaker via AUX splitter. So the PC and the PS3 were connected to the same Aux input. If I unplug the PS3 audio, there is no static at all and the sound even improves.
That leads me to a whole different problem. I have my desktop, PS3 and PS4 all hooked up nicely on my monitor(s). That being said I am trying to connect them to the same set of speakers. The PS4 is currently hooked up via OPT and the Desktop is hooked up via Aux. Trying to figure out the most optimum setup but I am running into problems as you can see. Any help would be appreciated.
