Have you tried running the laptop on the mains with the battery removed?When I used a laptop for location work I found if the battery was in place I'd get some kind of interference.

The thing about lap tops is, Some of the circuitry is not insulated that well which can caurse audio noyce. Tthis happens even on expensive lap tops as they are not quite as inserlated as say a PC. It was a high noice I was getting on my lap top, it also would disappear when using the battery power. I simply plut the male phonos from the Ground Loop Iserlater into the audioouts on my Fast Track Pro Sound card then plug the audio cables that go tomy mixer into the female phonos on the Ground loop iserlater. I'm almost certain a Ground loop icerlater will work. Try this first before messing with electrics. Steve W ... PLEASE READ THIS FOOTER AT LEAST ONCE!
