I bought a new computer system to use with a Allen&Heath sound board. I am using onboard audio from line out to a 1/4" jack on the sound board. The problem is that there is a humming sound (like a motor running) coming from the sound board. I may have gone too cheap with the motherboard, but I am stuck with it now. Also, all the expansion slots are filled, so cannot just add a sound card. I tried a $10 Mpow ground loop isolator, but that did nothing. Someone suggested a Samson MCD2. Does anybody have a different suggestion? Does the Samson actually work in elininating the hum?
EDIT: Forgot to mention that there is a $300 add-on card for my sound board that adds USB. That enables us to have USB out of the computer to the newly added USB card for audio in to the sound board.
I think I am in over my head and not sure which way to go from here. If the Samson will work, that costs just over $100 and will be happy to try that first.
