Move mouse = noise

[nakedjackson]

whenever i move the mouse on my computer, i can hear some audible noise in my NS10's. What the hell is causing this and how can stop it. How can i reduce the noise that is coming out of my speakers on my DAW in general?

is the mouse optical or wireless? these things happen sometimes with those types of mouses. so far, i haven't found a solution to it.

This is caused by a grounding problem somewhere in your chain. It's either something plugged into the same outlet as your other equipment, or something plugged into your sound card. It can be a pain in the arse to find out what it is. Another posibility is that it could be one of your computer's harware components in which case it's going to be pretty hard to get rid of.

There is a way to solve this problem

Go to Jaycar or your nearest electronics shop and grab a Ground Loop Isolator. Usually a little capsule with 2xRCA in and 2xRCA out. It's simply a 1:1 transformer of some kind and it will solve your problem - this is specifically the type of problem they were designed to eliminate
