i am wondering if you may be able to help me solve an issue i have with an audio setup I have in my house. Will briefly attempt to describe the issue. there is a video that would help to better understand. but basically when the audio/stereo equipment is powered on and not playing any audio, the dog barking, clapping or other random noises will result in an odd squealing noise coming from the speakers. It is often difficult to recreate and it isnt something that happens all the time under the same conditions. what could possibly be the cause of this. any advice would be appreciated.
