    Hi everybody,

    My question is not directly linked to the use of NI's product, even if I only use Kore 2 and Komplete 5 ...

    I have a laptop (Dell Vostro1500, WinXP SP2), a Novation's Xiosynth25 and 2 problems :

    - The first is certainly only a problem with the Xio : I have a "hum" sound which increases when I crank the volume up. That buzz vanishes when the volume is at maximum level. If someone has a clue before I send the Xio to reparation ... !

    - The second problem is maybe linked to a fine tuning of Windows : I have distinctive parasite sounds when I use windows : cliking somewhere, moving the mouse ... Is someone with a Xio or another sound card/interface having the same behavior ?

    Thanks ! ;)

    The first sounds like a ground loop of some form. Does this happen both with the laptop plugged in and unplugged?

    The second's a graphics issue- does your laptop have shared graphics?

    The Xio is USB-powered by the laptop. Do you mean trying the Xio with the laptop using its battery ?

    I can also try using only the Xio as it's a synth by its own.

    And for the "parasite" thing, I think the laptop has its dedicated graphic memory (256 MB), if it's your question.

    Thanks for your help !

    Ok, so I'm sure know that the laptop has dedicated graphic memory.
    Any hint ?
