loud buzz when turning volume up on laptop

[cporter]

I'm using my laptop with a 3.5mm to dual rca to my mixer and from my
mixer to my home stereo. When I turn the volume up I get a horrible
feedback sound. Any suggestions?
Using windows XP Pro
Thanks,
Chris.

What you are getting is called a ground loop effect (open ground on you electric input). There have been several threads posted on this, but I don't remember what type of isolation filter was recommended. Do a search of the forums for audio buzz or ground loop. Also, you should be able to talk to your local Radio Shack dealer and they can tell you what you need to fix it.

try a simple 3 to 2 prong adaptor found at any local harware store

I get that hum at one of my places Beav, but the AC cord from the computer is already 2-prong. How might I correct that?

Where do these get plugged in? I mean between what two devices?

end of computer cable and strip, or strip and the wal, etc.
