Hum from my speakers.

I have an MSI motherboard with realtek onboard sound and I'm getting a hum that comes from my subwoofer. When I first start up the computer I cannot hear the buzz unless I turn the sound all the way up. After the pc has run for a couple of hours it builds up and sometimes gets so loud it overrides the music or game sounds. That overwhelming feedback sound comes and goes. It is not heat related my pc runs nice and cool.

I thought it was a bad subwoofer. I replaced my speakers and the problem was still there. All cables were replaced as well.

Is this a bad sound chip? Will buying a soundcard and disabling onboard sound fix the problem?

If so, please recommend a simple soundcard for windows 7 64 bit. (nothing too pricey keep it simple please.)

Oh...I use a simple good quality 2.1 sound system.
