Let me be a little clearer here Karl. When I said "in your system" I do not mean that your stuff is broken. Here is an example.
Let's say your laptop is plugged into one outlet and your TV is plugged into an outlet that's on a different breaker. Buy using power from two different breakers, you are creating at circit between the two breakers that runs through your system. This creates a loop. What nomally would go to ground gets caught in this loop. In non-sound aplications this causes no problem. In sound aplications it creats a hum or buzz. Buy plugging your TV and your laptop into the same outlet, you eliminate this loop which stops the hum.
