I Downgraded to the 2.5.2 driver b/c I had the popping with my Scarlett Solo. Now that the popping is fixed I still have a buzzing/ humming white noise, that does not happen when plugged into my Macbook. Is my pc not grounded well? it almost sounds like its picking up with the computer is doing inside? if that makes sense, hard drive humming
If your pc processor or harddrive has activities do you hear a rattle kind of sound?
A few years ago i could hear my mouse move arround. Every position was a click.Very frustrating in a recording...
Grounding can be an isue here but also decent shielding.... Or indecent cable shielding which may pickup the sample rate of the DAC. To less provided information to be sure.
Perhaps a stuppid unnecessary question
But did you connect your pc to an outlet with ground/earth connection?
Is the macbook and pc plugged into the same outlet?
As last i like to mention that power supplies of laptop based computers is different than the one desktops uses. Laptops often have a single powerlines which split up in the labtop into multiple voltages and use a virtual ground. There for they are less sensitive than big steal power supplies into desktops which need ground to ground the entire machine.
It's not about what you got to use .... but how you use what you got...

I have a AMD phenom x2 ? that has the ability to go up to four cores although its really only two I think. Anyway when I have the four cores activated it seems to make the sound. Although I still get the noise when CPU processes are running high.
