OK I made a topic some weeks ago about noise problems from my mixer. I did a alot of tests those weeks back but didnt find out where the noise came from.
But then some days ago i bought M-audio av40 speakers for gaming on my pc. I connected it straight to the crappy internal soundcard on my PC(Mini-jack). Turned the volume of the speakers high.... and there.. the noise from that i have heard all the time is in the M audio speakers. So my thoughts about the noise is that it comes from the Internal soundcard of my PC. The noise coming out from my speakers is not only a "hiss" but a straight static sound. When my Pc is shut the static sound is not there, also the "hiss" is slighlty low.
Am i right on this one?

I am selling my yamaha mixer and buying a mackie soon.
So if im right about the noise from my soundcard i definatly need a new soundcard.
So i need some advice on what i should do.
I think about buying m-audio delta 1010.
What im usure of is if i should buy the m-audio Delta 1010 or the M-audio Delta 1010 Lt(PCIversion)

Go with the 1010 (rackmount version, not the LT).

Both models sport pci cards. It's just that the 1010 has a breakout box/interface and much better converters.

A huge benefit. The mixer will expand your input options. Because I'm pretty sure as you grow, you'll find a need to expand. :idea:

Where do i input the jack from the soundcard to the mixer? C-R outs?



any output from the mackie to the 1010 will work. ur gonna have to decide how u want ur set up set up. the mackie should have a bunch of options regarding outs. rec out, stereo out, c-r out, etc. it may seem confusing at first but if u read the manual and have some patience, you'll figure out the best way to set up ur mixer/soundcard
