I`ve finally found a solution to the howling noise my pc was making.
Audio demo: howling-noise (60dB gain from the original!)
Symptoms:
- Both soundcards on both speakersets had the same “noise” (meaning it couldn`t be the soundcard, cabling system or speakers!)
- Shutting down my sequencer stopped the noise
- The noise was periodic
- The soundcard`s controlpanel VUmeters lighten up so the problem was “in the box”.
The problem seemed to be in the box, next step was locating the problem.
It could be:
- Routing scheme problem
- Instrument
- Effect
It seemed to be an instrument with effects on it. The effects on the channel seemed to cause the problem.
