Hi Mark,
Have you tried charging up the laptop and recording without the mains
adapter plugged in?
I use a laptop for my Studio computer and it works better without the
mains
adapter.
This maybe worth a try.

Gord, I'll check with her and let you know.
She just said it's a usb sound card.
Steve, it's hard to tell, I think it's just a frying sound.
I think maybe the sound card is just bad.
What would you folks recamend for the laptop?
She's using a Mackie mixer, with a sm-58 shure mic.
She's just doing simple work, recording vocals
along with an audio file.

The mic in may be only mono. Also, you really don't want to use the
laptop's onboard sound for recording audio. What usb interface does she
have?

Hello folks.
Here's the problem.
I have a friend who has just a laptop and a mackie 8 channel mixer.
She has only a mic input on the laptop.
The audio siggnel is too hot.
She did perchased a u s b sound card that has a line in jack.
When she records using the line in there is a static sound she can't
get
rid of.
I believe the sound card is bad.
The mic input on the laptop itself is ok, except too hot.
My question is, is there such a thing as an audio cable that would
restrict
the audio level?
I had her to turn down the mic input on the laptop but with no
results.
Any ideas would be welcome.
Cheers!
Mark
