The "hum" is probably from a ground loop, caused by the two systems having multiple paths to a common ground. It could also be from a cheap speaker power supply that doesn't filter its power well.

The hiss is just inherent in all audio electronics; it will be worse with cheaper components. It's just low-level background noise.

Depending on the speakers, you might try a different power supply... or you might find a way of grounding the speakers. Make sure the computer is plugged into a properly grounded outlet as well.
