usb noise

While trying to figure out the issues with noise on USB bus, I have realised it might be due to the widely reported fucked-up bad implementation of USB on X570/B550 chipsets. After a quick study of what's currently available from various factories in CN, I have narrowed it down to the following...

I am seeing and hearing a fair bit of unintended noises coming from the USB-powered Audient ID4 mk. II Silence, normalised to 0dB: Zoom-in Observations so far: The noise can be heard when PC is idle. It gets worse when GPU is busy It gets better when CPU is stressed. Even then, there are...

For better sound performance, which is better? mini-pc or notebook? Factors that I consider important are the grounding (of the notebook) and the low power consumption (of the mini-pc), which of the two is better to reduce interference that can cause pollution (and annoying noise degradation) in...
