jerryp177 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Hello everyone I purchased a line 6 pod hd pro about a week ago and I love the tones you can get out of itthe only problem is that when it's connected to my computer via usb it gives me this really annoying noise every 3 minutes or so. I attached a file of the clean tone so you can hear how it sounds. Did anyone have this problem, or does anyone have an idea on how to fix this?Cheers! line6problem.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfsmith0 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 It sounds like a ground loop to me. If you have a laptop try running it off of batteries. Or try plugging the pod and computer into the same power outlet. Disconnect all the other peripherals from the computer to see if the noise changes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using an iMac and I tried plugging all the other peripherals from it and also tried using the same power outlet, I also tried running the Pod HD pro from my USB Hub but I still get that noise.

TheRealZap Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 If you're shopping for an interface, try and look for one with a SPDIF input... you can send dry out SPDIF and record the processed audio separately... or keep the audio digital via SPDIF depending on your workflow... (i personally like having the dry tracks available also) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gfer1484 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Just order one from Sweetwater, I have the same issue. http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/HD400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceatl Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I have posted this many times...One way to protect your gear and remove the potential for a ground loop is to use an AVR. While the AVR helps in terms of keep voltage stable in both directions and power conditioning, the other effect is that your power is isolated...Since the tranny does not conduct. the ground loop is broken since the tranny is inducting power...It is a very nice side effect... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
