I doubt it - it sounds like your laptop vendor used cheap noisy
capacitors.
If you use high-end power strips with over-voltage protection like
from APX or other vendors then possibly putting them on separate
power strips might work.
I'll try that. Thanks for the suggestions ... not
holding out much
hope
a better-isolated sound card might fix the issue as well. ive heard
plenty of noisy desktops/notebooks that were fixed with a proper
pci/pcmcia card.. even if the plugs were still attached to the
card/case rather than breakout...
The edirol ua-25 should be a decent device, no? pcmcia is just not cost
effective and there only a few choices anyway.
I guess for my purposes, I'll be unlikely to ever need to do audio with
the laptop in public for longer than the battery life, so I'll live. And
I have a delta 66 in my studio PC for working at home.
maybe even a 3-pronged AC adaptor if youre using
2-pronged? kind of a
long shot, but who knows...
It's 3-pronged.
