[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1070187, member: 82144"] Yep, the strategies for solving grounding issues with audio are: 1. Use the same ground everywhere (ie. in your case, plug the PC and amp into the same circuit/socket, or somehow link the ground pins as Pog suggested). 2. Use balanced connections with a ground pin (ie. XLR or similar, probably not possible in your case). 3. Lift/disconnect the ground of either the amp or the PC. [edit: Forgot one! 4. Use an isolating transformer. ] The third one is not recommended unless you know what you are doing. Could lead to bad stuff. Do [B]not[/B] try unless you know the potential consequences. [/QUOTE]
