how do you fix interference

damn cell phone + speakers = suck.

what do you guys do to get around that?

 

might try using an amp or get better speakers

 

Good speakers have shielding around em to avoid problems like that; alternativly get a good headset

 

We'd do a better job of guessing if we knew what was falling off the rails.

What's interfering? With what?

Try to be specific about the symptoms you're getting.

 

Turn off your cell phone, and/or move it to another room. Does that make a difference?

yes but my cell is my home phone and i have fifteen soldiers that are calling me on a consistant basis since im their sergeant.

rob - everyone knows what im talking about but you?

 

A stupid suggestion, but who knows, it might work ????????

What happens if you place your phone nearby, in an aluminum foil lined shoebox or something similar.

Interference experts please step in. Bazza

 

Wrap your speakers into aluminium foil, lol.

But really I think the best way to fix that is to get good headset. There is a positive side that you put your headphones as loud as you can without intefering others...

 

It seems so.

So either I'm clueless, or they're guessing. All I know for sure is that I haven't experienced whatever problem you're having.

It sounds like a radio frequency interference (RFI) problem. Trouble is (from my point of view), you've got at least two RFI sources in the equation -- your computer, and your cellphone. I assume that one is interfering with the other.

Either that, or one of them is emitting RFI that is being picked up by your sound system. If that's the case, your input or speaker leads may be acting as aerials. Make sure all wiring contacts are clean and bright -- oxide on a contact surface can act as a rectifier at the very low voltages created by stray radio signals, thus allowing the modulation on the RF carrier to get into an audio stage of your sound system.

If that doesn't offer any improvement, try using shielded wire to feed your speakers. Make sure the shield is grounded at the amplifier chassis end only.

If that guess is off the mark, I'd be happy to add my two cents' worth -- if I understood what symptoms you're actually experiencing.
