I have a netfilter for my computers, so I tried that one without any success: Regardless of whether the STB or the Subwoofer or both are connected throught he netfilter socket, the humming persists.

Interesting Observation:
All humming of the subwoofer stops, if I connect the casing of the STB to the ground pin of a socket.

Is this safe to do?
