Hi,
I have purchased a new Hercules 9800SE All-In-Wonder video card.
However, it's interfering with my previously fine Midiman Audiophile 2496
sound card. This is a replacement for a Matrox G400. This new card
contains TV-tuner and very fast 3d graphics capability.
The sound is very reminisant of the hum and high freq. noise produced by
a old low quality TV. There's a high freq. hum there all the time which
can be attenuated by moving the mouse around the monitor. The darker the
overall display the less then noise. White Explorer windows cause it to
"scream" (in my mind anyway, even though this is all very low level
really). Scrolling an Explorer window causes a quick sound not unlike the
squeak of a chamois leather on a window.
I've tried to move the 2496 as far away from the vid card as possible,
but this has had no effect. The type of noise is making me think that
the TV-tuner could be the culprit.
Anyone else experienced this kind of problem?
What was the solution apart from ditch the card? Although if I do find
no solution to this then the new vid card must go, cos sound quality is
much more important to me.
Cheers.
