I am getting unwanted sounds in audio recorded via my USB audio interface, especially from sources connected to external devices with their own power cords (e.g. my bass amp), and I am trying to see whether some problem with grounding of the motherboard or other components is to blame. I have been trying to bridge various places on my case to ground with a voltmeter, but I can&#8217;t find anywhere on the case that isn&#8217;t painted, and in any case I&#8217;m not knowledgeable enough to know whether the case being grounded would automatically mean that the motherboard was grounded too. On the other hand I don&#8217;t want to ignorantly poke my voltmeter in the wrong place and damage the computer. Can anyone tell me what I am supposed to do?
