Topic: Any ideas on work around hissing noise?
I just got my Babyface snow edition and I like it alot. I actually got the snow edition because I was going to use the unbalanced tele in/out on the RCA breakout cable with my mixer. Using my Laptop, everything works like a charm. However, using my stationary computer, the RCA-out has a terrible hissing sound and noise all the time. If I turn the volume up to max, I even get feed-back! The RCA-in works perfect.
I know it is my computer that does something, because the hissing and noise amplifies when I move the mouse, open programs or access the harddrive. However, I pulled out the graphic card and all other cards and disconneced the harddrives, but I still have the noise (just running the computer with motherboard and power supply). The motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-P35 and the power supply is a Crossair.
Any experience from this? I have red about issues with Gigabyte and getting a USB Pci card, but will that really help?
Of course, when I use balanced XLR, it works perfect. But I really want to use the mixer to connect my synths.
Any ideas would be helpful.
Mary Christmas!
