Question to anyone who could please help. I bought a Lap Top that came with the Virtual DJ Program. When i connected it to my Mixer.. on the Head Phones i hear a Lot of Static.. ofcourse it goes away as i hear the music but when the volume is down the Static Kills me.. i pretty much have to disconnect the Lap Top from my Mixer in order to not hear the Static, Does anyone know whats going on?

If you plug a pair of headphones into the laptop and listen to the audio without the mixer connected is the static still there?

Sounds like grounding issues. try litening thru the mixer/headphones with the your laptop running on bateries. if the hum goes away you're having grounding issues. Search the forums for fixes - this gets asked and talked about A LOT.
Easiest but most unsafest and unrecommended method is removing the earth pin from your adapter. Or I used to use a double adapter with the earth prong removed so i didn't have to remove it from my laptops.
Another fix (I think): I purchased a universal adapter and used a lower voltage. Unsure if this actually fixed it. but i never needed the double adapter again!

I see the Ground Loop Isolator.. Before i go to Radio Shak and buy because i will because im Desperate, Is there anything i need to add to this... by looking at this is obvious that i need the RCA that connects to the Lap top.. is there a high tech one i should look for or am i missing something? Thank you soooo much for your help
