So I've been searching for a couple of days to try and fix this problem, but nothing's helped so far. I've owned these monitors for over a year now, with no problems, and only recently since I bought a replacement laptop charger have I started hearing the sound. So at the moment I have 3 different ways of connecting my KRK Rokit 5's to my HP Pavilion DV6 laptop, all of which use a quarter inch jack to RCA cable from the KRKs:
All of these methods however produce this exact same buzzing/hissing sound:

The only way I can get rid of the sound is by disconnecting my laptop charger, which makes me thing it's the charger that's causing the sound. However, I checked the compatibility for my laptop and the charger and as far as I can see, they're compatible:
The compatibility chart under my battery:
The charger specs:
So my question is, should I invest in a new charger with a different voltage and if so, what charger would you suggest that I buy? Also, if anyone could suggest any other method of ridding the noise without having to buy another charger, that would be nice too.
So yeah, if you need any additional information just ask, thank's in advance for any suggestions <3
- Through my TASCAM US-122mkII audio interface.
- Through a small L/R RCA to 3.5mm jack converter.
- Through my TV, with the RCA converter plugged into the headphone port, connected to my laptop via HDMI.
