I get a slight humming from my TCV, not loud though.
I thought it was normal, due to the coding on them.

Do you mean there's a whining noise coming from your needles?
If so, that's just how time-coded vinyls are, annoying isn't it!
It took me by surprise the 1st time I used Time-coded vinyls, strange how no one ever mentions it in reviews!
With regular vinyl you get a tisss tisss tissss sound from your needles as this is the music (you'll hear it if you turn off your speakers and put your ear next to the needles!), which is then amplified and played loud through your speakers.
Time-coded vinyls have a time code cut into their grooves, not music. So, the noise that comes off the record will be that of the time-code, a fairly horrible whine. You'll get the same sound if you play a time-coded CD in a regular CD player, or a time-coded vinyl straight through a mixer in a traditional set up.
Sadly there's really nothing you can do about this nasty noise. If it bothers you that much, don't use time-coded vinyls, or just turn up your speakers untill you drown the noise out!

Dude, it's really not a ground loop problem, that's just how TCVs are

I still use the Maya44usb and I got the same thing in the beginning. I have the same sound card you do as well and if you register your software or purchase a legal copy I will tell you how to fix it. I know exactly what it is. I also know that 4.3 is a widespread version that people download on limewire and use.
You just get better support for the software once YOU SUPPORT the software.

The software I have is not an illegal copy, it is on my desktop which was my brother's hand me down computer. Also I was the one advised my mother to purachse this software for him for xmas some years ago, therby supporting the software. I have no need to for an a illegal copybut due to financial constraints, hence the fact that i have not upgraded to the lastest version. If you can help me....i will greatly appreciate it . Thank you in advance

to be more precise, the sound is more like a high pitch AM radio station out of tune. it stop if i stop the record and starts again if i play the timecode again.

uh nun n urass: What you are saying doesn't make much sense. You bought the software? You have a copy on your desktop that was your brothers but you can't afford to upgrade? The upgrade is free if you bought it. Go to your profile and register your copy..or your brothers since you have the computer you bought it for. You are allowed to have it on two computers so do both of them. If it is already registered then log into his account and post the same question.
I will be more than happy too fix this for you but really really can't stand people who skate through on others in life. Buy the software and get the real deal. It just makes you feel warm inside too.
Home or professional edition will be fine and I will help ya out.
