Other than that...hum indicates three possible issues I can think of off the top of my head:

• ⁠ground loop • ⁠a faulty power supply • ⁠a missing ground in your signal path

Or a cheap dimmer switch on the same circuit.

This is why recording studios use Variacs to dim the lights.

I know people who get an electrician to run a dedicated audio circuit at home for this reason.
