Hi y'all,
I seem to have a bit of a humming problem coming from my computer to my amp/pre-amp in my new office. Here is what I have:
Onkyo Integra P-306RS preamp
Onkyo M-5160 amp
Yamaha T-80 tuner
JVC CD player
HP computer, model m9040n
I use the integrated sound card, original device on the mobo.
I had cheap wires from the computer to the stereo jack wall outlet (my computer is at the opposite side of the room to my audio devices. I ran a good quality stereo wire from one side of the room to the other, in the ceiling) so I bought sets of good sheilded stereo wires to replace them. This did not work. When I use my tuner or CD player there is no hum at all and sound comes clear and clean. I was wondering if by purchasing a decent audio card if this would considerably reduce or eliminate the hum. Any ideas? comments? I have a feeling that I am stuck with this hum.
Many thanks in advance.
