Is the noise there no matter what you do ?

If the noise temporarily disappears when you select a menu or activate the roll-up bar (by rolling your pointer to the bottom of the screen), the noise is probably caused by digital interference into the analog signal from the components in your PC. What you hear is actually the PC working.

AFAIK, the only way you can get 100% rid of this problem is to use an external converter (placed far away from the PC), allthough some has talked about using high quality cables ( the cables outside your PC works as an antenna), dunno if that works tho :sad:

I have the problem mentioned, but as I have no external gear, the problem is only there when monitoring, there's nothing on the CD that I eventually burn.

Hope that helped you a little.

The AD/DA on Pulsar(1&2) is very quiet. I suggest Monster Cables (if you can afford them), and can say that a few RCA Hosa cables have introduced unacceptable noise...

The HUM sounds like it could actually be a ground loop problem. Try putting all your equipment on the same outlet (be sure it's rated properly for this!), usually a ground loop happens when there are multiple paths to ground, you will get a hum.

Also try to have your power cables crossing your audio cables NEVER, or if they must, at a 90 degree angle, not in parallel!

Hope that helps.
