I connected my Gateway Laptop headset output to the Nashville 112 CD input. It sounds good and volume can be adjusted from the Laptop. However, the volume is fine for listening but too low to practice playing along. Has anyone connected Laptop to a preamp and out the CD the input? I have a mixer but when connecting the Laptop I'm getting a flutter/hum noise. Can't really describe the sound. Dick

I plug straight from my Gateway laptop (as well) from the speaker jack directly to the CD Input jack behind the amp. I dont get a humming sound. Try turning the volume on your computer down, and that might work for ya. Hope this helps.

I have this problem on occasion...my solution is a little crude, but it works.

Make sure the volume is turned all the way up on your computer. Then turn the pre gain down on your amp until it sounds balanced. Then bring your post gain up until it's loud enough.

I connected my HP tower computer headset out to the CD input and it works perfect. The nose is from the Laptop. It even occurs when idle. I purchased the laptop last week. I'll return and and find a laptop that works
