hello all,
I know there are a lot of talkings about this 'high-pitch sound' from speakers, but this is kinda more personal.
so, I have a new pair of Yamaha H80 with a M-Audio Mobile Pre MKII soundcard, these plugged into a new powerful desktop PC.
About the noise.. it's a subtle and static 'beep' sound everytime I enter my DAW, or I open (AIMP3) for listening to music. The sound continues utill I quit the DAW or AIMP. Also, when browsing the folders of the HDD (e.g. Music(D/Experimental/ etc. etc) for each new folder a short BEEP sound.
card drivers: I've tried different versions of my soundcard drivers; even tried with asio4all and the same problem. So, it's not the drivers.
Tried again to plug the card into my laptop with the speakers in the same place, and everything is fine! NO BEEP SOUNDS OCCUR!
USB ports: unplugged everything; tried on different ports - no success.
card setup is the same for desktop and laptop, but with laptop it works fine.
Latency Checker shows green.
another thing: I have headphones out of my soundcard (Beyerdynamic DT 770) and they sound fine.
Ground loop? as far as I know my house is ground-looped.
I actually had this issue a month ago, and I found on the web a similar problem, which was fixed by using balanced cables, rather than unbalanced. At that time I had unbalanced cables and I thought by just buying new cables I will solve the issue, but today I tried with new balanced cables and the BEEP is still there.
have you guys any ideas? I'm so damn tired of these gear issues..
