I don't know if this is the proper place to ask this but here goes. I have a program called WaveLab that is used to record wav files. When I recorded a file there was a constant noise even though the mic was some 30' away. I then recorded another file with the mic disconnected and the same noise showed up. I do not have a separate sound card and use the sound on the motherboard with the mic hooked up to a mixer and then plugged into the computers sound plugs. So I guess the question is could it be the quality of the sound on the motherboard causing the noise?

Thanks


WaveLab has a forum but I have version 4 and they are up to version 7 or 8 and don't seem to care for "oldies".
