Hi guys,
I just got a new Macbook Pro and installed all the Axe FX drivers (Axe FX II mk1). The strangest thing is happening though. Whenever I plug in the USB cable to the computer, I get a ground hum noise from my monitors, even with no signal input from my Axe FX into the interface. I have the Axe FX plugged into a Furman power conditioner. Everything else seems to work fine, it's just bizarre that I'm getting hum from the monitors without any output from the Axe FX going to them. Any ideas? Could it be a power thing in my house? If so, how would you recommend I test it?
For reference here's the setup:
2020 Macbook pro
Focusrite 2i4 1st gen into an Anker powered USB hub (tested directly into the computer and through the hub)
Mackie monitors from Focusrite
