I plugged up the unit and it installed fine. I got the unit home and setup the latest driver from PreSonus prior to plugging the unit in as instructed. The SM-58 has excellent noise rejection and had a nice rich sound for spoken-word content like I would be producing. No matter what I did with gain, levels, and pop filters, there was always too much unwanted background noise. My mouse and keyboard clicks were always too loud and I have a noisy heat pump. I’ve tried many other mics, including a Blue Yeti USB, and while several sounded good, I could never get the level of noise rejection that I wanted. The long answer with details: Back in April, I bought a PreSonus AudioBox USB 2×2 audio interface so I could use a Shure SM-58 microphone to record instructional videos. (I used a cheap, powered USB power squid hub I’ve had forever.) From what I can tell, if your USB port isn’t putting out enough power, you will get hissing and/or electrical wave noise. Is it not receiving enough power? Is it my BIOS settings?Īny advice is appreciated, i am loosing my mind trying to fix this thing.The short answer that fixed the electrical noise problem: Plug a powered USB hub into a USB port on your machine. Is the problem in the Motherboard? All other devices work in the 2.0 ports, but this device is struggling. I have tried everything power management, a new cable, multiple driver reinstalls, disconnecting the broken front panel USB's from the Motherboard, compatibility mode and every single bit rate and sample rate option that there is. I will attach a screenshot of the number of security audits it puts out in the event log, just to demonstrate the frequency of the disconnects. The device just starts disconnecting and reconnecting incredibly rapidly (more than once per second). When i plug it into the 2.0 port, the audio dropping problems are fixed, but a new problem is introduced. It's officially barely compatible with 3.0. It's having problems with the USB 3.0 port (it cuts out if the PC is left for a minute or so with no audio playing), but these problems are justified. The device in question is my PreSonus AudioBox USB 96. About a week ago, i updated my PC to a Ryzen CPU and Gigabyte mobo, from Windows 7 to Windows 10, and everything is working perfectly except for one device. I have a bit of a problem with one of my devices.
