Analogue audio out error

I just recently changed location to my WD TV Live streamer and connected it via HDMI to Dell monitor (using an HDMI to DVI adapter) and connected a small extrenal speaker using the Analogue out and the ‘stereo’ output setting in WDTV setup.

Up to now i was using HDMI and optical and had no issues.

I am running the latest firmware (2.02.32)

The issue I have is intense static that is always louder than any audio coming through the jack.

This might be a hardware issue, since I get the static even when the WDTV is turned off and the noise stops only when I unplug the device.

The speaker works fine by the way, I have already connected various devices to it and they all sound fine.

Did you use the WD-provided A/V Cable?

You can’t plug in just any 3.5mm plug into the A/V port.
