My name is Sheridan. I am a Dj that need some help solving a sound interference problem. I use a laptop to connect to a Vestax Typhoon mobile turntable. Well when I hook my laptop to my mixer connected to an amp and a JBL sub with 2 Yamaha speakers, I have no gargled sound on softer songs such as a guitar opening. But when I run a usb to the turntable and the audio outputs from the turntable to the mixer. When I do softer songs I get this gargle that messes with the song. We have tried different speakers and mixer so we know that isn't it. Also ruled out the laptop. We have bought the best cords we could for the audio red/ white jacks to go from the turntables to the mixer, but that didn't fix it. We are wondering if it's some sort of static or electrical issue with the turntables? any help would be great.

so its a buzzing noise. are your turntables grounded? some dont have to be. the buzzing could be several things feedback from something around you or the mixer is buzzing cause of to much power. just mess around w stuff your not gonna break it. and what i mean about that is more wires check wires. dont preform open heart surgery on your equptment. sometimes the buzzing means the faders are going i own 3 vestax mixers and on my pmc 17a right before the faders went i had massive buzzing sound.
BOTH turntables and the same channel on each? If it's really really low and tinny that would probably be a failure to have/use a PHONO preamp (built-in and selectable on the Mixer).
Swap the channels coming in from the mk1200 and see if it stays with the mk1200 or with the left channel of the mixer.
There IS an outside chance you have flaky connections at the cartridge.
Make sure the Windows computer has the audio output selected to use the computers output hardware.
In the control panel, under "sounds and devices" pane, VOICE tab, that the Voice playback window shows your COMPUTER's audio system AND then check the volume is turned up by clicking the Volume button right under that same window. Now do the same under the AUDIO tab at the sounds and devices pane.
Make sure you have loaded the right driver for this and the operating system is allowed. Vista and later sometimes won't work unless you have compatible drivers.
