Hi,
I wonder if anyone could give me a little advice?
Firstly, I'm running a G4 based studio from my bedroom, I noticed a hum coming through my speakers (active reveals) which seems to have increased recently, I have narrowed it down to the computer, but it doesn't seem to be the soundcard as when I turn the soundcard off it still occurs - it also happens whilst the mac is booting so I'm guessing that it is an earthing problem, does anyone have any ideas as to how to get rid of it / reduce it? There was also a spate about two weeks ago where my computer was acting very peculiarly and made a lot of noise (i think the fan) and wouldn't boot - although I'm unsure if this has anything to do with it.
There are about 15 plugs all running off one socket so I thought this was the problem but when I plugged in just the mixer with speakers and mac it still happened so I just don't know... help! lol
I don't know whether it's one of the componants making the noise or a earth problem or the fact that the plugs are together etc but with the latter I've tried separately so unsure - anyone have any similar experiences - any solutions? Would a electricity stabiliser (or whatever they're called) fix it?
Many thanks to those who reply!
