Hello everyone,
Today I received my subwoofer (Yamaha HS 8S) to complete my little setup.
When I installed the sub out of nowhere I got a humming/buzzing noise which I also had with the speakers (Genelec 8020 CPM) before I got my DAC (FiiO USB DAC-E10).
I got my DAC connected to the Sub with 3.5 jack -> XLR, from the sub to the speakers I'm using XLR -> XLR.
Without the Sub I'm not having this problem.
I've been looking all day but can't find a solution.
What I've tried:
- Connecting PC, Speakers and Sub to the same power outlet to make sure it isn't a ground loop problem.
- Connected the DAC to my laptop instead of my desktop. With the laptop I don't get any noise with the sub (both running on battery and charging it works perfectly but I do want it to work on my desktop of course)
- Unplugged all USB devices except the DAC.
What I know:
- The humming/buzzing doesn't increase in volume when I turn up the volume, it's a constant volume level.
- When having a heavy load on the GPU (for example: gaming) makes the noise louder.
I hope someone can help me with this problem, if you need more information to help me please ask for it.
P.S: I hope my English isn't to terrible, I'm from Belgium.
