Ground Loop Solution

[Grovestand]

Anyone who uses their Hackintosh for Music Production, might want to look into one of these:

It made the buzz I was getting through my Nearfield Recording Monitors Yamaha HS80M go away. It also removed the feedback from my powered main QSC K-8.

Not a bad investment for me considering most DI boxes are $200 and they only clean one stereo signal.

I had a similar Noise and Hum problem with Behringer Active Studio Monitors 2030a connected to > my Behringer QX1202 Mixer Connected to > my hack via USB

The solution was very easy and dirt cheap. Get a Ground loop, Hum and noise destroyer similar to this one:

install it in between your studio monitors and your mixer or audio interface
Hackintosh > audio interface > Hum destroyer > monitors
or

if you mix on headphones.

it will eliminate the noise.
you can find cheaper alternatives on ebay but these 2 are the best as i learned from several of reviews.
Good luck.

Grovestand, I'm wondering what power supply was in your system at that time? I'm experiencing the same problems when you hear all the computer 'moves' through your speakers. After contacting the manufacturer of Hum X I learned that my 850W power supply won't be compatible with their adapter ...

Can you possibly recommend any any other solutions/devices that can eliminate this type of noise?
