Hey Guys - I was recently given an LG CV241 All-in-One PC which I use alongside my primary workstation in my home office. It's basically a 22" monitor which runs Chrome OS with option for using an HDMI input for it to be a monitor. I've been using it as a TV of sorts playing streaming media or media from my Plex server. As I usually wear headphones, I have the audio from it going into my primary workstation (Windows 10) so that all sound is controlled and comes out of a single device. The issue is that the only audio output port on the AIO is a headphone jack which I have connected to the line-in of my sound card using a standard male-male 3.5" cable as well as setting my workstation's sound settings to "Always Listen" to the Line In. This has worked great except that I've got a good amount of background / hissing noise whenever it's physically plugged in. The hissing doesn't seem to increase / change when media is playing, but drastically does if I power off the AIO device. I'm curious what (if any) solution may exist to eliminate this background noise - at least as much as possible. My current thought is the actual cable connecting the two, but also considered needing a grounding loop like what I needed to install in my car's audio input system. I have the volume of the AIO's headphones set to ~90% but have found that adjusting it (even from 0 - 100) doesn't change the level of the background noise. Before purchasing any hardware, I wanted to post to see if anyone else had suggestions or ideas. Note: I'm sure one may mention it, so yes; I have considered and tried adding it as another monitor on my primary PC instead, but am not for two reasons. First, my GPU (980 GTX) has multiple ports, but I already use them all for other monitors and my Oculus Rift and didn't want to have to swap cables every time I wanted to use it. Also, what I do sometimes requires a lot of resources and if it had to play media at the same time, it can cause issues. What do you think? Thanks!
