I purchased a Gateway Laptop to run Biab. The Laptop produces to much electronic noise. My HP tower works fine. Anyone out there using a Laptop without noise problem? Thanks, Dick |

What kind of "electronic noise" are you getting? There are many that run BIAB on a laptop. Should be no different than running it on a desktop. |

Dick, I had an electrical noise problem with my laptop connected to my amp when using BIAB. I corrected the problem with a ground lifter, one of those three prong to two prong adapters. The noise also went away when I ran the laptop on the battery only. |

Jack, that's what I thought. I've since found out that is not always the case. In fact, one of the Dell models is famous for noise problems. I'm returning my laptop and will investigate futher. Dick |

There are some that have had "cracks and pops" problems but usually that can be resolved. I don't get into Dell laptops that much (I mostly support desktops) so I'm not up on all the issues that they specifically have. |

The noise emenated from the "Jeff Newman 'D' lever" DVD. It sounded like the mixer was ungrounded. I Played an Eagles DVD perfect. Next, played an MP3 song from the laptop, again perfect. I should have kept it simple and checked the DVD first, Oh well. Dick |
