The most likely cause is a Pin 1 Problem in your audio system.  One of 
the cables connected to it is acting like a receiving antenna to excite 
the Pin 1 Problem.  The easiest fix is a common mode choke formed by 
winding multiple turns of the problematic cable through a ferrite core.

Study http://audiosystemsgroup.com/RFI-Ham.pdf  to understand the Pin 1 
Problem, and use the graphs in Appendix One as a guideline for winding 
the chokes. There's additional tutorial material at
