System noise

[tangerine]

When I move my mouse or page up and down I can hear a nasty faint buzz in my headphones, it doesn't effect my recordings but it is fuckin' annoying. How can I get rid of it, and don't say an optical mouse.

What is you system/soundcard?

One of my computers has an onboard sound chip (Realcrap ... I mean Realtek) that exhibits this same behavior. Needles to say, it's not used for anything other than games and media players. Even then, I use it's optical S/PDIF output to feed the signal to an 828mkII.
Muting the Mic and CD on Playback controls as well as having their levels turned all the way down (and making sure the Mic boost is off) on Recording controls has helped.
That and using PS2 ports for the mouse and keyboard (If I remember correctly, the Realcrap was sharing an IRQ with USB).

Not sure if any of this pertains to your system or not .... but that's been my experience with the issue you describe.

I had that problem on a buddies computer for a while. His on-board audio was absolute shit. We ended up disabling it, I gave him a 5.1 soundblaster, and he went and bought a new video card and he was good to go. It stopped after that. The on board video is next to the on board audio in this case and caused MAJOR interference. If you want an SB Live! 5.1 sound card, I can ship you one if you paypal me a couple bucks. let me know. it'll be a big improvement.
