Your problem is in the ground reference between the computer and the sound board. You MUST electrically isolate the two grounds between the units. The simplest way is a high quality balancing transformer. Your easiest solution is a "direct box" available from almost any music store. Ebay is infested with them too. About $25 each. Most direct boxes have 1/4" thru jacks and an XLR mic connector and a ground lift switch. The 1/8" output of the sound card to a 1/4" male plug to one of the direct box 1/4" inputs, and a standard mic cable from the direct box to a mic input on the mixer. No more hum! If you need stereo, a 1/8" stereo plug split to two 1/4" jacks and a second direct box and mic cable to another mixer input. Rick Hi, I seek the wisdom of this list. I have set up a Digital Audio Recording system. > Does anyone have any suggestions as to how else I might eliminate the hum?
