Hi-
I just purchased an M-Audio Delta 1010LT. Using KRK RP-5 powered monitors. Connecting via RCA unbalanced cables. Using PC, Athlon-based.
Here's the deal. I was able to configure the stereo monitor mix in the M-Audio control panel, no problem. Set the output level to either consumer or -10dBV. And I get good quality sound out of the monitors - BUT, if I increase the volume control *on the monitors* above the minimum (-30dB), then I hear a hum in the monitors. If I keep it at the minimum and get my volume through the sound card settings, it's okay. But I'm guessing that this is not correct.
Any ideas as to why I am getting this hum? Could it be noise being picked up by poorly shielded cables? I kind of doubt that, but I'm trying to figure it out.
Thanks!
