Quoted from Hawk007:All data east games hum and have that buzz sound through the speakers. it just depends on how much you have...Some is taken as acceptable. 1st make sure your ground pin on the power plug that goes to the wall and it is wired right. You could also have failing caps on the sound board and power supply. That stuff leaking out is most likely from the capacitors. They have a working life of about 10 years give or take so essentially you could replace them all. But at the very least replace any that look swollen or leaking.
Caps are so cheap, if you're gonna replace the HV caps, may as well do the rest on the PSU.
