Some help plugging my TV into my PC

Problem #1
I'm still having sound difficulties. Whenever I play a Playstation2 or Gamecube-game, the sound is perfectly fine. Same when I watch a DVD. When I listen to an mp3, play a game on my PC or see a movie or tv-series form my PC, I hear the same humming sound Roland talked about. My brother said that one idea would be to get a shorter audio cable. The one I have now is about 45 feet long. I might just need 1/3 of that.

Question #1:
Could the length of the audio cable create this humming?

All electrical wiring will act as an antenna for electromagnetic waves. The longer the wiring, the bigger the antenna. Insulated cable is one way to solve this.

Also look for EMF generators (eg refridgerators, air conditioners etc) on the opposite side of the wall you run your cable along.

This problem occurred frequently in the days of dialup and phone cables.
