I have a problem with recording in Adobe Audition 1.5. When I record anything a slight humming is evident upon playback. I'm using XP and my soundcard is a RealTekAC'97 Audio (I think). I'm not that great with computers but wise enough to use trial and error in my judgement in what is at fault. I think it may be a hardware problem because I tried to record in Windows Sound Recorder and the hum is audible using this too. It's not my mic coz the hum is there whether I use an input or not. I'd be so grateful to know what it was. I don't want to fork out for a new sound card if that's not what I need.

Thank you for your help!!!

I think you need a new sound card lol

Seriously though how are you monitoring this sound, headphones or loudspeakers and is the hum present in both?
