Hello there,

I've searched far and wide for a answer but as of yet I'm kinda stuck.
I have a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 to record my bass and guitar.

On my guitar speaker you can hear this really loud static come strange out of space outs, worse so if I move my mouse no matter what the volume.

On my bass speaker you can't hear anything ( static wise ) unless you turn the speaker on full.

My pc speakers are the same sorta deal, if you turn them to 0% on the speaker itself there's the strange static, same if you turn them up to full.

My specs are as follows:

Gigabyte F2A85X-UP4
AMD 10 black edition
Focusrite Scarlet 2I2 interface ( acts like a second sound card )
8gb of ram
Some old HDD from my old pc
OCZ 750 Watt PSU ( brand new)

The things I've tried:

Moving the USB connection for the 2I2 around from the back, front ect.

Disabled the driver itself.

Disabled ALL audio.

Played with Volume settings

Thanks in advance for your reply's !

Getochkn: Yes they're connected via the same power outlet. But they're on two different power bars. I have a surge breaker/protector on my pc and the bass speaker is hooked up to that one & I have another just plain multi-socket extension next to it.

I'm getting the feeling a DI unit might be in order ?
