Ground Lifting a Laptop

this problem is coming from your laptop power supply. I had the same horrible experience in a club once. I had this problem when using an audiophile USB soundcard - because its in outs are unbalanced

ground loop isolator will sort this. Personally I didn't like the idea of an unearthed power supply. I now use a balanced MOTU soundcard and this problem has never since been an issue.

I started this thread on another forum - lots of sound advice and in-depth techy suggestions there: http://www.littledetroit.net/forums/vie ... highlight=

I was thinking about producing on the laptop though

I had this very same problem. The groundloopisolator was the cheapest fix. crystal clear now!
