Thanks for all the information! My soundcard has two
balanced 1/4" TRS
Outputs, and I think I'll make some TRS cables where the ground is not
connected on one side. Does it matter if the input on the mixer are
balanced or unbalanced?
Yes, that does matter. When that mixer has unbalanced inputs (on the
TRS-plugs, XLR is always balanced) it will not work. Because unbalanced means
the signal is carried with respect to the earth. No earth, no signal.
Better prepare your cables with TRS-jack on the soundcards site and XLR on the
mixers side.
I am in the process of building such cables myself...
I don't know if that's the case or not because
it's
not my mixer. I'm really looking forward to eliminating this freaking
noise!
Well, all mixers I know have balanced XLR inputs. And many but not all mixers
I know have balanced TRS. Better make cables with male-XLR-plugs for your
output...
