I've got noise problems with a laptop rig.
The set up:
Dell Inspirion 2200 P4 - 768ram
TASCAM U-122 USB interface
pair KRK RP5 monitors
1: 3' & 1: 6' monster Studiolink cables from U-122 to KRKs
additional Flat screen
-I have a buzz comming through the monitors.
-Its influenced by the laptop screen - buzz changes tone when I move windows on screen.
-If I turn off the laptop screen and just use the desktop monitor the buzz goes away.
-If I unplug the laptop power supply and use both screens the buzz is gone.
-If I unplug the USB cable and leave the monitors on, the buzz is gone.
-I cannot hear the buzz in my headpones - plugged into U-122.
-Switching from cheap cables to the Monsters helped some.
So, the buzz seems to come from the combination of the Laptop Screen and Power supply. But why would unplugging the USB cable stop the hum?
Can anyone suggest how to kill the hum?
