Noisy Audio In G5, noisy audio in G5 Options

[crazyoval]

Hi guys.

I've just got myself a 2nd hand dual 2.7Mhz G5 running 10.4 and 4Mb RAM. Ive upgraded from a G4.

I have an issue with the G5 in that there is a lot of background noise, when I turn the volume up its like a bleeping sound mixed with buzz and crackle as I move the mouse around the screen. I had this on a G4 Powerbook and I could only stop it when I disconnected the power, clearly an option I don't have on the G5.

Has anyone else experienced this and has got to a solution? Ive done a search for 'noise' but couldn't find anything else.

Thanks in advance....

I also have had this issue in the past.

I worked out that (if you're using active speakers) if the 1/4 - XLR cables run too close to the computer then you will get these interferences.

You could try getting grounded cables, and or, you could buy a condenser (around 100£) The condenser will cancel out these unwanted noises. If you're using the built in sound card then that's a real issue, mine is awful in terms of noise, my external sound card is fine.

If I had more info on your specs then I might have more ideas.

Hope this helps.
