EMU APS Audio card. It consists of two pieces connected together with a cable, (inside the PC). One is placed rear and the other (it is like Audio interface) in front. In this (in the front), there is an input (big jack) for a Microphone ,and a button to engage Phantom Power 12 Volt (for condensend mics).
Every time I turn on - engage phantom power, there is a noise coming out of the speakers and this noise also included in any of the recordings I may will do (with the condesend mic). THE NOISE IS THERE, EVEN NO MIC IS PLUGED IN. AND APPEARS ONLY IF I ENGAGED PHANTOM POWER.
Does anybody know what is the couse of this ?
I am thinking that for some reason, the 12 volt power does not only goes into the mic, in order to power it up, but also into the oposite direction, that is to the speakers. and cause this noise .
Thanks for any help.
(additional I want to share something I noticed, maybe useful. Next to the jack for the condesed mic, there are other inputs. One of these, is a digital input. I noticed that this is not grounded. I mean that when I connect it to a ground point, using a multimeter's pins, does not make the "beep" sound indicates the connection (all other inputs outputs making the "beep" sound). So first, I used a small wire and conect it to a ground point, but problem insist. After, I disconected this digital input socket, using a solder iron, but the problem also did not solved...)
