I am looking for help with electrical noise, hissing, buzzing in my studio monitors. I am using a DAW pc with Audio interface connected to amplifier (samson) and monitors (Alesis)
Through a process of elimination, I believe it is the DAW pc causing the noise because If I connect the audio interface to a different computer, I am not getting the noise.
Headphones audio is fine its just the monitors.
The buzzing gets worse when I start up the DAW, (Live 11) But it is distinctly there as soon as the interface is connected to any USB port on the DAW pc, before Live is started.
Its a new win10, i9 pc. Audio interface is focusrite 8i6.
The amplifier and speakers are fine when an instrument is connected directly to them.
I've had the electrical sockets checked by an electrician, all good there.
I have installed the latest motherboard audio driver, which the pc supplier advised me to do, but no difference.
So it seems to be the pc. I am wondering if a loose connection inside, eg on the motherboard might be the cause.
Looking for any thoughts on this before I get back on to the pc supplier. Are there any other tests or changes I can try in settings to try and zone in on the cause of the issue?
Any help greatly appreciated, thanks
