I want to make sure I clearly identify myself as a noob.
I have taken a speaker wire and spliced it 4 times throughout the length of my house and inserted an 1/8" adapter on each splice.
The purpose of this is so no matter where I am at... (usually 1 of the four places) I can plug in either my laptop, phone or whatever other audio device to play throughout the house.
If you look at the attached file the arrows represent an input, the circles are amplified speakers and crooked line is the wire itself.
The problem I have is, since I've made this, it works ok but when its "loud" there is a LOT of static and makes it sound terrible. So I can't ever have my audio device past 90% volume.
My other problem is when there isn't anything playing there is a loud buzz like its grounded out... or not grounded out properly.
EXTRA INFO: My output devices are either a laptop, HTC EVO cell phone, or an IPOD. All experience the same results.
I was wondering if there was anything I could do to take care of these problems.
