Am I experiencing ground hum or is it something else? - Linux-audio-user

Hey all,

I'm just wondering, is the start of this short recording a ground hum
loop? It appears to be a weird high pitched whine in there as well...

This was recorded on my yamaha psr e-403 keyboard going into my PC via
the Phones/Output on my keyboard.. I've ruled out the fact that it's
my PC/soundcard by trying it with an amp in a different room away from
my  PC, but I still hear that annoying whine.

Also plugging my headphones into the phones/output port on my keyboard
results in that annoying whine disappearing...

Could a DI box solve this problem?

Thanks,
