Your speakers are blown. Can't be fixed.
No it's just digital to analog, the Apple TV is digital itself, so I have to use the converter.
I'll try changing the outlet tonight, then a new analog cable if that doesn't help. I imagine it's not likely to be the optical cable right, since it's digital?
Really? How come it doesn't make the buzzing sound when I plug in my iPod and play from that? What the heck have I done?
lol damn man are you on the dolphins payroll? give it up, martin sucks.

Is the buzzing constant? Are you cranking up the volume on your ipod too?
Your speakers are blown when at high volume you hear noise that sounds like vibration/buzzing.
To be fair it could also be distortion from the transition from digital to analog.
My bet would be the converter box. Any way you can run it without the box and see if that is it?
I'm not as down on them overall as you are. I think the offense will be dynamic and the defense will be improved enough to get to 8-9 wins and at least be in the hunt for a wild card spot.
To add to yankeehater and effzee's Eagles preview, here are some under-the-radar players to watch (fantasy fans take note, as these are some potential deep sleepers):
1. Zach Ertz, TE - Chip Kelly loves him some tight ends and Ertz might be the best one on the Eagles roster. He's certainly the best pure receiver out of the group. Optimum Scouting thinks he may end up being Jeremy Maclin's primary replacement, as he has been filling the X-receiver spot quite a bit in camp since Maclin went down.
2. Chris Polk, RB - LeSean McCoy and Bryce Brown are entrenched as the nos. 1 and 2 RBs, and for good reason. But keep an eye on Polk. He came into camp slimmed down compared to his rookie season and, by all accounts, has looked like a totally different player. Kelly is going to run the ball a LOT. I wouldn't be surprised to see Polk get some of those carries. And if Shady gets banged up again or Brown gets benched because he can't hold on to the ball? Polk looks ready to make some noise.
3. Fletcher Cox, DT - Cox had a solid rookie season, accumulating a respectable 5.5 sacks from the DT spot. But that was in the Wide-9 scheme which hampered the DTs with 2-gap responsibility and left them facing center/guard double-teams often. In the new 4-3 'under' that Billy Davis will likely install, Cox will be set loose as the weak side 3-technique tackle, where he will be able to get after the QB on just about every play. I expect double-digit sacks from Cox this year.
Trent Dilfer won a Superbowl.
Other than KAS who gets off on yardage every fan in the league would gladly take a below average qb if it meant getting a Superbowl.
Apple + Bose, were you expecting decent sound?
Seriously, you probably have a grounding loop. You can try using insulated wires for a cheaper solution than a proper transformer, but that may or may not help.
maybe it's a ground loop issue? the speaker and converter being plugged into the same outlet makes me think it could be
an easy check to see if that's the issue - get one of those 3 prong to 2 prong grounding converters (like this), and plug your speaker into that before you plug it into the outlet. it's not a long-term solution to your problem (not safe for you or the equipment for more than a test), but it's at least a cheap way to eliminate one of possible issues before you start buying all kinds of cables
When I have the Apple TV plugged into the speaker via the converter, it's constant. With the iPod, even cranked up I don't hear it.
I really hope it's not that, as I have to convert the Apple TV signal since it's optical only. Is it possible the converter is defective, or it is simply the conversion itself, so there is no point in going through the hassle of returning it for a new one to monoprice?
I had two of those converters from monoprice on an old Kenwood receiver I use to use as my primary. While mine worked the build quality was suspect and it is just a guess I have.
I could potentially plug them into two separate outlets, would that eliminate the loop you guys are referring to?

lol. There were other factors that led to the Ravens winning to the SB, and Dilfer aint one of them.
Hideous. Who is paying for it?
Origami arena!
All of your outlets will be using the same ground, most likely, so it probably won't help. Best bet is to spend $3 at Radio Shack on one of those ground lifters that Greg linked to and report back.

Icing his shoulder, not leaving the field. No biggie.
Supposedly people are head over heels for Bakhtiari. While I'm thrilled, it means Barclay is the odd man out probably and he is far and away the best hole opener for the running game.

Really Good OP. Starting to get really excited for football again. Last season was obviously really tough to deal with all offseason, but you can't help but feel the 49ers are poised to go just as far, even with all the injuries. Can't wait to see how kaep develops as a passing QB

Ah, gotcha. I just did a quick google search and quite a few responses came up in the Apple support forums, some people had luck turning the dolby digital output off in the settings menu on the apple tv, or also setting it to never sleep because the apple tv sends out some type of weird silence signal when it goes to sleep.
Someone else just used the hdmi cable and grabbed the analog output from his TV that way, bypassing the need for a converter box and that eliminated the static.

Mike Adams will be the Left tackle for the first preseason game against the Giants.
Chuck...where's that writeup at? I can do it if you're busy.

Yeah, I was hoping to keep Barclay on the right. He really jump started Harris and held up in the pass in the limited time he was on the field.
But I haven't actually seen Bakhtiari yet, so if he gets the spot, I'll withhold judgement.

A nice article on why the Packers may not be doomed without Bulaga according to McGinn. Some high praise for new draftee Bakhtiari
I believe!

He stoned a members of the Packers D?
Next stop peewee football!
Next stop peewee football!
We can do two, too. I haven't listened to enough podcasts to fully form my thoughts!
There's really only two or three position battles. Adams v Gilbert for LT, Worilds v Jones and 8 guys for WR3. Looks like Bell has starting RB locked up already. Team is thin after the starters. Add in the transition to zone blocking, and those are my highlights.
The draft will be the dead weekend before the regular season. We're missing Wes, Zeke and, I think, WanderingWind(?). I didn't note who Buffalo WhyGodWhy was...
Also, there won't be anymore reminders for the Straggler's league. I will open the remaining slots to anyone who wants them if the original owners don't step up in the next two weeks.
Oh that's really helpful, thanks. I'll try that when I get home. Hopefully I can fix this.

He'll be lining up opposite Kiwi, then who's starting in place of JPP.

Need to update the Jared Allen Memorial Plate NFL-GAF Fan list soon. Although if you're a regular of NFL-GAF you should know that RBH is a
filthy, disgusting, bottom-feeding, trashbag
News to JPP:
I always assume that people who work 2-3 jobs are rich but then I always feel sad for them when they aren't.

Final decision is his as to when he makes it back. He says he'll be back when he "feels comfortable". That's all well and good but when the man that signs your paycheck has an expectation.....
Frankly, I'd prefer he not be rushed back. Back issues can linger and we have the depth to cover him if he misses a game or two to start the season. (which he seems to agree with)
Chris Snee and Terrell Thomas are off of PUP and will practice for the first time in camp, today. Hakeem Nicks will also be back in practice after being out the past week with a groin injury.
Every time I drive by that stadium I have one thought: giant, silver, metal stadium sitting in the Houston mid day sun. Why would I want to put my ass on it?
If he actually tries that, I promise that sometime soon he'll be lying on the field with a torn MCL and LCL to boot.
