Topic Computer buzz
Can any one help with a really bad buzz I have when I hook up my guitar to my computer.

My computer is a HP laptop pretty modern with all the usual bells and whistles.

I plug my guitar into the mic in jack

the guitar is a washburn steelstring accoustic with a built in pick up.

soon as i plug in the guitar I get a relly loud buzzing noise. funny thing is that when I touch the metal cover on the lead jack the buzz goes away completly and I have a crystal cear sound???
I have tried a couple of my mics and the produce no Buzz at all...anyone got any suggestions??

sounds like you lead is broken and its not grounded. Get out the soldering iron or buy a new one. Venom make great leads.

EDIT just though could also be a non grounded guitar. A simple trail and error with give you the answer
