Never heard of that one before, try using the second monitor in something other than VV to play some video and see what happens.

BTW is the buzzing there all the time, does it only happen when you start VV?

Tried Windows media player and it does the same thing. the buzzing is there all the time until I drag it back to the 1st monitor. after listening again it almost sounds like a inteferance thing rather than a buzzing, like if your radio is not tuned in all the way.

Well its definately a VV problem.

It could be any one of a number of problems. Monitors switch significant power internally at audible frequencies, this could somehow be getting into the audio lines.

Try moveing the speakers, rearrange the mains power feeding all the bits etc.

Check for faulty earth connections.

Maybe your PCs power supply is right on the limit and the extra load of driving a second monitor is causing it to just start to loose regulation.

Thanks farss, I'll try moving some things around to see if it helps.

I think he meant to say - it's definately NOT a VV problem.

But other than that - he is on the correct path.

If it were me, I'd check the cables you were using - and/or move the speakers.

I had been recording for years with a really nice mixer and subsequently got a nice equilizer, amp, speakers, tape decks, blah blah blah. But I always had this little hum/hiss in everything I recorded.

It was noticable to me...but the recordings I was doing were low quality anyway (did a bunch of overdubbing on single track cassette). So it didn't matter too much.

Anyway - a year or so later after trying everything I could to get rid of this hum....I finally thought....hey, let me replace this one RCA cable going into the mixer. And....whala!!! Hiss gone!!

There was a little short in the plug.

Two freakin years....one $2.00 plug!!!

Go figure.
