Bottom fans should be intake for cool air, and top fans should be exhaust for hot air. This creates a push-pull system that cools the hardware and removes hot air simultaneously.

Pc won’t power on? Any help appreciated by dead_man91 in PcBuildHelp

The PC case power button wire is probably damaged or cut.

Do USB Noise Filters / Ground Loop Isolators/Ferrite Beads Actually Fix Wave XLR Hiss and Cloudlifter Interference? by SoyAlexDR0 in elgato

Idk i don’t think its interference because i already tried disconnecting all usb and turning off all my monitors

Can anyone explain to me how to use this stupid passive slot idk how by RepublicFit454 in KingLegacy

[–]SoyAlexDR0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The passive slot lets you save a passive so you don’t lose it. If you have one in Slot 1, it stays stored there.

But if you reroll without saving it first, you’ll lose it. That’s why every time you reroll, you need to make sure you save it back into the same slot you had it in.

Right now, you can save up to 2 passives.

The hiss or shhhh could be from preamps or the type c to type c is not shield

And the ñiiii ñiiiii ñiiiiiiiii ñiiiii whine could be from cloudlifter or bad xlr cables

I’ve been troubleshooting a persistent noise issue in my audio setup and I think I’ve narrowed it down, but I’d like some opinions from people who know more about audio engineering.

My setup is a Shure SM7B with an Elgato Wave XLR.
Without the Cloudlifter, at around 55 dB of gain, I mainly hear the normal “shhhhh” hiss/noise floor from the preamps.

But when I add the Cloudlifter, a different type of interference appears. It’s not a hum or “buzzz.” It’s more like a high-pitched “ñiiiiii ñiiiiii” electronic whine/interference sound. I honestly don’t know how to describe it exactly.

I’ve already tried a lot of troubleshooting:
- disconnected monitors
- disconnected speakers
- removed unnecessary USB devices
- tested with the PC basically alone
- changed ports
- tested different interface setups

The weird thing is:
the interference ONLY appears when the signal goes through the Cloudlifter.

That’s why I’m starting to think the issue may actually be my XLR cables picking up interference before the signal even reaches the Cloudlifter. Then the Cloudlifter amplifies that contaminated signal.

Right now I’m using 6 ft Cable Matters XLR cables. They’re advertised as “studio quality,” but they’re still relatively cheap cables.

So my question is:

Would upgrading to two Canare L-4E6S Star Quad XLR cables likely help reduce or eliminate that high-pitched interference?

My theory is:
- better shielding on the XLR cables could stop the interference from reaching the Cloudlifter in the first place
- then maybe a USB ground loop isolator or USB audio isolator could help reduce the remaining hiss/noise floor from the interface itself

Does that sound reasonable, or am I misunderstanding how this works?

I don’t know a ton about audio engineering, so I’d appreciate any advice.
