Hello, I have ordered the Rode AI-1 in conjunction with my HL4100 earphones. However, I have a background noise on the InEars. Of course, I would never connect the 300€ InEars to my PC without a sound card, but they don't have any noise... I also have a jack adapter between the hearing aid and the AI-1, which shouldn't affect anything...! I have also read a lot about how it is with professional headphones... that they have/need a certain Ohm value or that a preamp is needed. And the Rode is (I think) not a bad interface for its price... what am I missing? Can anyone help? Technical data Hörluchs: Note: Suitable for professional use only.
