I'm fairly new to CE Pro and am trying to learn my way around.
For starters, I am getting about -76 Db of noise showing up in my monitor level meter when I have nothing connected to my computer. I have an Alesis QS6.2 keyboard that I've hooked into my Soundblaster mic input but this doesn't seem to be the problem.
I can disconnect the keyboard and the cord from the soundcard and the noise is still present. It seems to be a steady hum. I can reduce the noise level slightly when I turn the recording sound level all the way down in my Creative mixer. However, the -76 level is what remains.
When I play my keyboard through my computer I am amplifying with an Alesis RA-100 through Alesis Monitor One Mk2's. The keyboard is distorting through the speakers. The distortion is like a radio that's not tuned in properly. The distortion level does not go away when I turn off my RA-100, either.
Anyone have some ideas as to what the problem is and how to fix it? I would appreciate any help someone can lend.
Thanks.
