Successful sound output from laptop with power supply interference!
Tuesday, February 10th, 2009***Health & Safety Warning and Disclaimer***
Before you try this, I must issue a Health and Safety warning on the electrical front, and also a disclaimer that I can accept no responsibility whatsoever if you try this and it a) borks your equipment, b) kills you or anyone else.
PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL SOLUTIONS MENTIONED HERE ONLY APPLY TO LAPTOP PLUG-INS AND NOT TO DESKTOP COMPUTERS WHICH REQUIRE 3-PRONG PLUGS.
If you bypass the grounding system of a desktop computer, you will put human lives at risk of fatal electrocution.
That said, you should bear in mind that if you have a 3 pin power plug (UK) and you go abroad to the continent or the USA, you would use an adapter to remove the earth connection, and all your power supply and laptop are double insulated for your safety. many DJs have found the need to do something along the lines listed below to get rid of interference when using laptops (more…)
