I have a Sound Blaster which is connected to an external R/S
amplifier (20-40watt?) and then to a set of 60 watt speakers.

My problem is that I get alot of electrical interference in
the form of hissing/whining and crackling noise which gets
very annoying after a while.

I have tried to ground everything the best I can and
sheild the video display cable also but it helps very little.

I would like to eliminate this background noise when I'm not
using the sound blaster so that I can leave the amp on all
the time without having to listen to my computer computing.

Any help or info would be appreciated.

TIA,
John Fowler
