I have an Hewlett Packard laptop dv6 - 1008. I try to play my songs through itunes-.usb2.0-mini input ibasso dc10, and I get terrible static. I use the same setup on my LG netbook and everything sounds good. I was thinking of buying a hp quickdock, (for coax)but I'm not sure if this would help!!
Any suggestions????
Sorry, I'm a real NooB
 
Thanks,

Edit: Most likely a DPC latency issue actually, lots of laptops have that issue, check with http://www.thesycon.de/deu/latency_check.shtml
 
If not, sounds like a job for an external soundcard or dac...
Your onboard may be getting nasty interference, or maybe bad capacitor.
 
E-MU 0404 is the best specrice ratio on external devices, especially if you buy an unmodified used one.

Actually, Dalamar is totally wrong.  (By the way, DPC latency affects clicks, pops, and drop-outs, not plain old static.)
 
The iBasso D10 is known to have lots of problems charging and playing at the same time.  Try using it as a USB interface, but flick the switch at the back to use the battery, and you should have no problems.  Your other notebook might just have better filtered USB plugs.
