Hey, Please help me sort out this problem.
Today i went out and bought a stereo to 2x mono adapter and connected it to my pc, and I think I've unearthed a grounding problem or something.
When I have the headphones and the creative sub/speaker system connected to the adapter I get a low humming noise, even when the pc is turned off!
I can even get this noise by taking the adapter when the speakers are connected and physically touching the end of the adapter and my pc, I dont even have to touch the pc just go somewhat close to it.
The headphones dont seem to get the feedback at all in either socket of the adapter.
So this only happens to the creative sub speaker system and not the headphones I'm not sure what this means. What I do know is this doesent happen when the creative system is plugged in directly or when its plugged into another adapter I have which is a stereo to 2x stereo adapter. Could this be a crappy adapter or do stereo to mono adapters complete some sort of internal circuit which may be unearthing a grunding problem somewhere?
I dont know much about this field of computing forgive me for any stupid presumptions
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I want to get mixing
thanks in advance
