Hey guys,
I recently built a new gaming rig, and instead of having both monitors hooked up to my new rig (in order to preserve fps) I hooked up my old rig to one of the monitors and control them both with Sharemouse.
My issue is wanting to listen to the secondary PC. I'm not streaming or anything so I don't need some complicated setup. I just want to be able to hear YouTube and other stuff from the secondary. I used to hookup my xbox360 through the line-in on my PC so I didn't have to keep rotating my speakers and that worked great. So my thought process was plug a Male to Male 3.5mm from output to input. But I get noise, static, and popping.
Did some research and tested to see if it was a ground loop, everything is on the same power strip. Tied unplugging outlets without ground prongs. No dice. Tried unplugging my wifi-router. Same thing. Bought a behringer UAC222 after reading some advice that a digital signal would get rid of interference. Nothing changed.
I'm at a total loss. If I listen to the input of the UAC222 with the headphone Jack on the device it sounds clear as day, however the output on my headphones connected to my main PC still has noise. I'm also using a USB headset on my main PC.
