Default Re: High Pitch Whine SOLVED

Is the USB cable that comes with the Mbox 2 shielded?
Yes, and it has an in-line filter as well.

Every time we've heard reports of this, it's been determined there's nothing wrong with the Mbox - we've had dozens of them in for testing. Nearly every situation is solved with the steps given and, in those cases it's not, it's been determined to be specific to the computer, as testing the unit on another system (or several systems here) has not produced any whine.

Some computer designs are such that they put noise down the USB bus and, no matter what you do, it's bad enough that there will be noise. It's mostly the lower end systems that exhibit these issues - most likely due to bad design or cheap components.
