    Default KRK V6 = computer noise? G5

    this may sound strange but, i just bought KRK v6 monitors and replaced my old monitors BUT once i turned them on i hear a faint digital noise being produced which seems to come from my G5 running through my audio card.

    Example:
    When i load programs up i can hear the compuer through the monitors. Digital pulse, faint static and or squeeling sounds from the hard drive.

    i do not believe it's my audio card cause the speakers that i had on it just before do not produce such sounds. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

    Did i get a bum pair of KRKs? Is this a problem on my end or do I need to return them for a new pair?

    your probably hearing the higher definition of the krk's as opposed to your old speakers. If those krk's have higher dynamic reproduction then viola....youve stepped it up.

    Agreed...your new monitors will show the good and the bad. But you want to hear the bad, so you can fix it!

    thanks i think...lol

    so any ideas how to resolve this?
    the only way it dissapears is if my G5 is turned off... or if i turn off my audio card...

    neither sounds like a solution :/

    ideas anyone?

    the only thing i can think of is that im running my audio card as such:
    maudio firewire rca out to rca adapter to a 1/4" / xlr cable...

    problem is, that's the only outs my firewire card has...

    If you're running an RCA out that means you are going unbalanced....this could be the problem.

    i have also tried plugging my g5 and audio card power into one outlet and the krk's into another and i still hear the computer somehow...

    the audio cables are not even crossing any electrical cables that i can see?

    great...lol

    the only thing i can think of now is taking out my MIA card from my PC and dropping it into my G5 and run the 1/4" outs...

    but, that MIA card is only 20bit i believe :(

    actually the mia is 24/96k... will this be better than running my firewire card? will this increase latency though?

    ok... so the mia's pci slots don't align with the G5's pci slots :(

    i guess this means i need to trade in my firewire card and get a new pci audio card with balanced outs?
