I bought the Logitech Z130 speakers for my PC. I'm not an audiophile, so I went with the cheap affordable option.

However, two weeks after buying it, I am starting to hear a hum coming from them, which is very very annoying... However, the hum is only there for about 20 seconds or so and is gone for a few minutes before coming back again.

I browsed the forums for solutions, and the main cause is usually ground loop issues. I believe I fixed the ground loop by connecting my PC and the speakers to the same extension cord from the same power outlet, but the hum still occurs. I also double checked that the 3.5 mm jack is fully inserted into the green port on my PC.

My setup is not that advanced. It's simply the Z130 stereo speakers connected to the green audio out port on my mobo. Is this an issue with my wiring, or is this the speakers themselves being low quality since I bought them for ~$20?
