Solved! DAC audio in causing hum in computer speakers.

[mriley0398]

Hi!,
I have a DAC run from my ps4 to my pc so that I can capture the audio to stream with.
The PROZOR Digital to Analog Converter 192kHz DAC, to be precise. My computer speakers have a hum in them as a result of using this audio set up. Both my speakers and my DAC are plugged in using aux cables.

How can I get rid of the hum?

Ive looked up the issue with results showing a few possibilites and would like a definite answer before spending money on a solution.

Thank you to anyone who reads this, and have a wonderful day.

You can use an audio isolator in between the DAC analog output and the PC audio input.
