Hi guys,
I've been struggling with this noise issue for a while, after trying many things I have no further ideas to solve this. I have a constant noise issue with my setup, it's not hum it's a kind of electrical interference. I can hear my mouse moving in my speakers or any CPU or HDD work.
My setup:
BC Rich Warlock 5 string active bass, which is connected by an unbalanced grounded cable to an IMG Stageline DI Box which outputs to a balanced XLR cable and the Focusrite Saffire Pro 14 (connected by a 6 pin FW cable to a Ti chipset FW card) interface's monitor channels output through an 1/4" TRS to RCA adapter+RCA cable to my Logitech z323 active speaker's RCA in.
What I've tried:
- connecting the display and the active speaker to other power socket
- separate the speaker cables from the PC usb cables
- disabling onboard audio
- using headphones, Bluetooth speaker instead of the active speakers
- skipping DI Box from the chain
- changing my guitar cable and instrument too
And the noise is still there, it's very annoying. The most weird thing is it was the same with my previous USB interface with different motherboard and different cables and instruments. The noise is still audiable if I don't connect any input and turn all the gain knobs down or mute or disable my audio devices, it's just there. If I don't connect my interface with all the other stuffs and just connect a simple TRS to my on-board Line In I hear the same noise. If I use my interface without my PC, powered by an adapter or I don't connect any output to my speakers the noise disappears.
How could I solve this issue?
