Yes it is to a desktop. All outlets are the three prong type which means they should be grounded. Dean -Original Message- From: Joe Paton Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2014 4:15 AM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Hum from Cable Hi, are you connecting to a desktop computer?

The PC and TV are on opposite walls so they are about 12 feet apart. so they can't use the same outlet. The PC is plugged into a uninterrupted power supply which has the three prong outlets and it is plugged into a three pronged outlet which means it should be grounded. Dean -Original

This is probably stating the obvious, but be sure to turn up the volume some on your TV to overcome any residual hum that is a part of the TV's circuitry. If you run your headphones at relatively low volume, you may not hear the hum, but when that same signal is fed through another amplifier

Dean, I'm not sure what you mean about not wishing to raise the volume unless the movie has explosions and loud parts. I was referring to when you had the patch cord plugged into the headphone plug and you were recording. I am assuming that you are not listening to the movie when you do
