Cannot seem to figure out this static problem:

From your post #1

Have this very annoying low lying static on everything I listen to.

XXX = Audio Advantage Micro II - Turtle Beach Corporation
Please post a site that show what a AAM2 is.

Isn't that what you just linked Jack? AAM2 = Audio Advantage Micro II

Yes it is but I'm not sure that is what kwitel is referring to.
Before walking the dog sideways any longer I would like to be sure. I know what I'm working with for sure.

Jack-

My apologies if I wasnt clear in my initial post; I very much appreciate the time you have put in thus far.
Everything from my initial post was correct with the exception of the speakers.
I had thought they were emitting static but it appears now they are not.
They aren't very good speakers to its possible I just didnt give them too much credence upon first listen.

That said, I am definitively using an Audio Advantage Micro II by Turtle Beach (your link above is correct). Its a USB Sound Card/Digital Adapter dongle, that my Grado Headphones plug directly into. The AAM2 is plugged into the back of my Dell Optiplex.

I am not sure why I am not getting any static out of the speakers.
I did try the Grado-->AAM2 on my laptop and got no static, so i assumed the AAM2 was working properly.

I can't help you any more but I will try to find some one who can.
Hang in there.

Thank you.

I'm a bit confused reading this thread too, just posting here to subscribe to updates for now.

Ah I see:

So with the following setup you get low level static sounds through your earphones:

Earphones -> USB Sound Card -> Dell Optiplex
