I get quite a bit of noise from my PC when I connect the external SB to my preamp input. I can actually hear when I move the mouse and when the video card changes the overlays. The next step I guess is to try my laptop.
Huh, strange about the noise. Both my PC's with different soundcards are completely silent. Perhaps your cables have a bad ground or the connector (1/8" phono - worst connector in the world) is not mating properly, etc?

Watch out with the laptop. Normally everyone uses an external USB soundcard with those, since they don't usually have a line-in, only an unsuitable mic-in.

Yeah, lots of peaks and valleys with that horn for sure. With the typical external sub it can be moved around and EQ'd quite easily..... The horns have a unique sound though...
