Sound card noise

Mar 15, 2005 5 Replies

Hi, when I record with windvr on my computer, picture is good, but I hear a grounding (buzzing problem) noise, the 3.5mm plug going in to the sound card is good, never had noise before, what could cause this?


try to set the microphone level to zero or disable it

I had a problem like this a couple of days ago. The 3.5 mm plug had half pulled out of the socket.

That`s not it, could it be the powersupply, causing that ground buzz sound?

If the plug and leads are good all the way (no break in either lead): May be there there is an AC difference between the chassies. Somthing may be connecting to the neutral of the mains power, Or perhaps some other piece of equipment is pumping current through the earth wire. Do you have ELP? In any case you could try unplugging other powered items from the same mains circuit

Also check that the cord is no running past any electrically noisey items - eg fluorescent lights.
