High Pitch Whine SOLVED

[cal1875]

Hi

Thought I should post my fix for the ubiquitous high pitched whine problem I'd been suffering for over a year...solved today..at last pro audio is on the way.

I'd gone through all the numerous fixes, balanced output lines, new usb cable (didn't bother with a Monster thankfully, but still wasted £16 on a Belkin one), made sure that all system technology was plugged into the same outlet. None of this made the slightest difference.

The answer was far more simple.

I had my PC plugged into my Amp via a mini jack to RCA phono lead. This was causing the whine. Simple as that. There must have been some kind of feedback going on in the system. So, hopefully for some of you by simply ensuring that your PC is not rigged up to your amp via the wholly inadequate mini-jack to phono line the whine will disappear.

I did also move my MBOX monitor outputs to the DVD/AV inputs on my amp and now no noise...none...peace...quiet...joy.

Let the music begin.....

Hope this helps any other numpties out there...
