Hey all,
Just hooked up the Leviathan speakers. All around, pretty happy with them (minus lack of any control within Windows); however, an odd issue. When I restart my machine, there's a loud humming coming from the sound bar. This ONLY occurs during a restart.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Leviathan - aux - humming while restarting

Also, it happens with the speaker on and laptop turned off.
Tried a new cable, same result.
Yes I noticed this with mine as well. After resuming from sleep, playing any sound through the speakers again (like adjusting the volume) made it disappear. I assumed it was due to interference from the analog input, so I bought the Douk Audio U2 USB to Optical-out adapter on eBay to connect to the Leviathan's optical-in. The sound is now much cleaner and louder, and the hum has gone away.
The aux audio hum comes from a ground loop due to the computer and the sound bar being connected to the same power source. Installing a 3.5mm in-line ground loop noise filter will remedy this and clean up the analog sound.
