Since installing powerline networking I am experiencing significant interference and ticking when listening to my Laptop Audio. The same noise occurs through both the analog headphone port (which is amplified) and through my usb soundcard (which has amplified headphone port).
The same noise occurs when the laptop is plugged into every outlet in my house, and disappers when the powerline network is unplugged. Unfortunatley I really need the powerline networking.
Wondering if anyone has experience trying to filter unwanted electrical noise from their audio system. I don't know much about this topic, but I'm aware that some people purchase "power conditioners" or filters for their home audio equipment.
From what I understand these types of devices may be able to filter noise. My surge protector and laptop power supply seem to have no ability to filter out the unwanted noise.
I was looking at this product and wondering if it might help.

Thanks to anyone who has experience with this!
