I assume you're using a laptop. I've noticed a similar issue on other
laptops (Dell notebooks and Apple powerbooks have similar issues). It's
simply because when the laptop is hooked up into a wall, the current
that travels near the main motherboard in order to get to the charging
battery causes interference. You may want to try using your laptop
hooked up into external power but without the battery in the laptop
itself and if the noise is then gone, then that is definitely what is
causing it.
Other option is that even if the battery is out and it still makes
noise, that your external power connection is too close to the USB
controller of some sorts (or even the USB connector) causing similar
interference.
Just a thought.

Subject: [linux-audio-user] My Edirol UA-20 arrived, but now I have a
big
problem!
Hallo,
my Edirol UA-20 USB audio device has arrived, and I also got it to
work: It was almost plug and play. But now I have a serious problem,
and that is noise when moving the mouse. I'm at loss what to do.
Everytime I move the pointer with mouse or touchpad on my Acer
Travelmade, the UA-20 produces nasty screetching, crackling and
scratching. This doesn't happen, when I unplug the power supply. The
UA-20 gets its power from the USB-port, so I suspect that this creates
the conflicts.
Does anyone have an idea how to get rid of this noise? Or should I
send back the USB device?
Thanks for any help...
ciao
