![]() ![]() Finally today I decided to do something about it. Very faint but enough to drive you crazy, especially if you turn up the volume. So, I have an old UR22 on Windows 10, and whenever I started Cubase the connected speakers would emit this high pitched noise as described in this thread. Thread necromancer! But none of the answers in this thread helped me and I have new info that maybe can help someone else. I’ve tried all sorts of setting on the internal sound setting of the computer - but to no avail. This suggests to me that the problem is an interaction between the USB Audio Codec and the mixing desk, somehow. If I monitor the mixing desk, which has the piano plugged in, and I switch Cubase or Garage band to the USB Microphone Codec - the whine stops. I have a USB microphone, plugged directly into the machine, which does not have this problem. IT ALSO HAPPENS WHEN I ACTIVATE GARAGE BAND! If I turn down the piano input pot, it stops. I don’t hear it on my monitor speakers either, which are plugged into the Main output from the mixer.Īs soon as I switch on Cubase, the whine starts. If I simply plug the piano in, switch it on and monitor through headphones - no whine. I have a a P105 (Yamaha digital Piano), cables from the Audio Outputs on the back into a small Behringer mixer with USB digital audio out.Īll this is plugged into a Mac running High Sierra. I have the high pitched whine, it is at the same frequency as B6 (almost two octaves above middle C). That would include cables carrying the input). (idea #3: check for rogue input sources that might be feeding an an open audio track in Cubase. Perhaps the problem lies of the other side of Cubase. (Doesn’t have to be XLR, could be 1/4" TRS).īut you don’t have the problem with other software. You should use a balanced line if you’re not doing so already. I now have Yamaha powered monitors, but I use the XLR connection on them. It could be even a relationship thru the AC circuit). Disconnect other inputs to see if it helps. (idea #2: It could be an interaction between multiple audio inputs going into the mixer. I believe the audio interface, the amp, and the computer soundcard had somehow shared a ground that they couldn’t agree on, despite all being on the same AC circuit. I discovered that it went away when I disconnected the inactive signal. I was using a home stereo system.) Regardless of which signal was active, there was moderately high pitched noise (more of a white noise than a sawtooth). So I was running 2 stereo audio signals to my amp, with one of them selected at any time. (idea #1: It could be some interaction between the DAW and other software somehow running in the background that makes just a whisper of noise, so maybe silence other software sound sources.) This was any sound generated outside of Cubase never makes it to the audio interface. ![]() I was running Cubase thru my audio interface, and system sounds thru the regular sound card. It’s unlikely to be the same problem, but for what it’s worth: Has anyone got any ideas as to how I can eliminate this problem, without having to do without the USB interface between my computer and Yamaha mixer entirely? Someone somewhere mentioned something about USB frames being in 1ms periods, so I’m speculating that this is somehow related to feedback over the USB interface between the PC and the Yamaha MW10c (again, this only happens with Cubase not other software). It is exactly 1kHz (I’ve tested it with a tuner) and it sounds much like a saw tooth wave. It is also worth mentioning that the noise persists even without any audio inputs connected to my computer or mixer. It is independent of my (powered) speaker volumes or the stereo output volume on my Yamaha MW10c mixer (it’s still apparent when ALL volumes are -inf dB on both the mixer, speakers and Windows’ mixer), so it’s clearly nothing to do with noise/interference in any of the analogue components of my gear. The noise is not overly loud, but loud enough to be quite intrusive.Ĭuriously enough, it is significantly louder from my right speaker than from my left speaker.ĭisconnecting either of the two speakers does not change the level of it coming out of the other. My Yamaha MW10c mixer then sends the analogue stereo output via 1/4" line-level cables to my pair of Yamaha HS80M powered speakers.Īll of the above mentioned products/equipment I’ve purchased and registered. I’ve ensured that my computer has the latest Windows 10 compatible driver for this mixer installed on it. The PC is coupled to my Yamaha MW10c mixer via a direct USB connection. It DOESN’T happen with any other software that I use. ![]() It begins the moment I load up Cubase 7.5 and remains constant and persistent (except when I disable the sound driver in Cubase entirely) until I finally close Cubase 7.5. I also am hearing a constant high-pitch sound through my speakers. ![]()
