It is both computers causing the noise and it could be they are creating some sort of loop. I dont' know the technical term, but removing either does eliminate the noise. Like I said, just tweaking the mixer will generally remove or put the sound way in the background. So, it is not a reall

Hi Scott, Max's idea of using ballanced inputs may work if your mixer has them, but I doubt that it does, that's usually limited to commercial audio gear. What you probably need to do is "break" the ground to one or other of the computers, probably the laptop. Now, of course, just breaking the gr
