Anybody got a recommendation for building a very low noise audio cable
from the SB Live to an external mixer?
My current cable seem to pick up some humming at high levels.
Shoud I try balanced cables?


** Purely for test purposes - try de-earthing your PC from the AC supply ground.

Just a test - don't leave it that way .........


But not if the PC is connected via shielded CAT cable: the PC ground
(and the cable shield) will get noticable voltages from the AC filters
in the PC, and it might damage equipment on the other side of the
cable.
