Solution
Increase the subwoofer volume on the wireless remote.
Check to make sure that all cables are connected properly and are making a

Some low hum may be detected when your speaker system is powered on
without an audio source playing, or when the volume is set at an extremely
low level.
Unplug the AC power cord from the surge protector (if used), and plug directly
into an AC wall outlet.
Move your cables. Check to ensure they are making a clear connection.
Disconnect your 3.5mm stereo cable from the audio source. If the loud hum
goes away, lower the volume on the audio source.
Lower the master volume or subwoofer volume on your computer, portable

Because the subwoofer is not magnetically shielded, it can cause distortion if
it's too close to your monitor. Move the subwoofer so it's at least 2 feet from
your monitor.
