I'm running a cheesy mic into a SBLive! drive, recording acoustic guitar. Every time a note is played, there's a staticy scratchy noise that gets recorded too. It only occurs on playback. I've tried moving the mic around the room, sitting at different positions relative to the mic, turning every electrical appliance in the house except the PC, fiddling with the mic input knob and all faders on the digital mixer. Nothing I did made any difference.

I recorded the same thing under the same circumstances two days ago with good result, so I know this can be fixed somehow.

I'm running an AMD Athlon 550 Mhz, 128 Mb RAM, Sound blaster platinum with live drive. Any ideas?

Please don't tell me to buy something that costs more than $10 because I'm on a limited fixed income (although some day I may be doing better).

TIA

hi,

is it possible to change the sample rate? it might be set too low right now.
 
Thanks for the idea, I did go back and make sure my sample rate is 44100 Hz at 16 bit.
