I hear the radio when i use my audio-buddy

[Jotosuds]

yep. the radio. is my crappy soundcard to blame? onboard AC97 sound. or is it the guitar cable i'm using to connect the two together? or is my audiobuddy defective?

it's loudest when i don't have a mic hooked up, but i have the mic cable set up. if i turn up the gain, it's really loud.

it sounds crappy too. argh.

please help me...

i would suspect the cables first

You've got a grounding problem somewhere - probably in an audio cable or mic cable (but most probably in the cable between the Audiobuddy and your audio card).
