Topic: Multiface I mouse/monitor buzz
It's been described before and I've read the threads. Haven't been able to solve it.
Moving windows, invoking the dock, causes digital-ish crackling.
With nothing connected but the headphones and fauxfirewire card connection cable, the hum disappears.
The MacPro (specs below), video and audio monitors are all plugged into the same power bar and into an APC UPS.
Removing UPS has no effect on the issue.
All eSATA and FW storage drives are on a separate power bar but same UPS
Hum persists even if an iNano patch is removed from between MF and Event Studio06 powered monitors.
Hum persists regardless of location of MF (problem also exists with RPM b.o. box, different FW cable, different distance from CPU and drives)
All cables are 1/4" TRS balanced. (BRTB Excalibur brand)
MacPro 3,1
OSX 10.6.8
18 GB RAM
Slot 1 Radeon 2600 video card
Slot 2 RME PCIe card
Slot 3 EMPTY
Slot 4 Sonnet E2P eSATA card
RME Driver 3.04
Multiface I Rev.18
I also own an RME Express34 HDSPe card and power supply for a MacBookPro. It's on another job so I can't test that right now. Would using AC help?
What are my options exactly?
Thanks
