Yes, this is common with laptop and external soundcards ... ;)
Some things to try:
- unplug the power supply of the laptop (for test)
- put a DI box inbetween the amp and the edirol (enable ground lift)
- use another power supply for the edirol (preferably a transformer
based one).
Or cut the ground ... ;)
