Surely many readers have toiled with shielded audio cables similar to
coax and they know the answer is yes, if the shield is broken (this
often happens at the ends of the cable).

The skin depth of copper at 60 hertz is supposed to be 8.53mm. That's
too thick to make a practical shield. No wonder they're having problems.
