Re: mbox 2: high pitched noise on line inputs
These boxes are inexpensive - that's why we buy them - and we can't expect perfect grounding from cheap boxes. There's a lot of voodo on this and other forums about which USB cable to use, extra software, etc. Try running the MBox2 through direct boxes first! The transformers isolate and convert to a balanced signal, and after that it sounds great.
I have one of the whiny MBox2 units. Changing cables, removing the USB hub, and all the other tricks didn't help. The DI's fixed it right away, and it's crystal clear and problem free now.
