scribe Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Hi, I've been using a MacBook Pro and then got some Genelec speakers. Great sound even though I'm just taking the output from the macs 1/8" out. Problem: I just bought a 22" video monitor and whenever I plug in the DVI cable to connect the video monitor I hear what I'm guessing is RF interference noise in the audio speaker. I tried a better grade of DVI cable but no difference. It's really loud! Should I rush back to return the monitor or do all video monitors do this? BTW I get the same noise when I plug in the USB cable for my printer - but as I didn't need to print and work on audio simultaneously that wasn't a problem. Is there a fix? Shielding? The Genelec speakers are not the newist - do newer speakers have more shielding? Maybe routing audio through a firewire or USB device would do the trick but I won't be able to get to one for a few days. What do you do with your setups?

scribe Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 So no one's had interference between video monitors and speakers? It's just me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Most recent speakers have good shielding, and most of us don't use a monitor, or if we do it's usually not too close to the speakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlerner Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 I had this same issue on a laptop set up to run picture. The fix was to run the 1/8" output through a balancing box. This eliminated the buzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
