Hey guys, I am loving my DSP but can no longer put up with the amount of noise coming from my monitors when my GPU is under load! It sounds like a dial-up modem on steroids :(

My signal source is my gaming PC connected to the DSP via USB. My DSP connects to studio monitors & sub via balanced RCA to XLR connectors.
I've done some googling and it sounds like the issue is caused by all my hardware sharing the same power outlet from the wall?

I guess I have 2 questions really..
Is there any way to stop the awful noise? if not- are there any alternatives to USB, for sending signal from my PC to the 2x4 HD?

Any help much appreciated

update- I've found that I can use TOSLINK.

Can anyone here confirm that if I get an upgraded soundcard for my PC which has the standard 'Optical Out', will that send the right signal 'through' the DSP software??

Threw about 40 bucks at the screen and it's arriving in a couple days....

I had same problem but with my headphone amp.
Then i connected a IFI Idefender 3.0 and then absolutely noise free
