Ah ha! It's the light in the other room. When the light is on, the buzzing
is there, when it's off, the buzzing is basically gone. How do I correct
this? Should I try installing the surge protecter with noise filter on the
light?

Strangely, it dissapeared by the time I tested my PC this morning. Just in
case, I installed a surge protecter specifically for the monitor and
computer that has a 50db noise filter.

I am getting buzzing when I use my stereo amp to try to amplify my
computer sound.
The buzzing occurs only when I try to amplify the sound from the
computer plugged in via a mini stereo plug. I get no noise when I
directly connect headphones to the PC. It occurs in any jack I plug
the amp into, on my sound card (Turtle Beach Santa Cruz) or on my
onboard audio, and it occurs when the computer is off and even
unplugged from the wall. Can someone please tell me what's going on
here?? Thanks.

No doubt, a ground loop.
