Default A background rumble appears in a sound from microphone in Sound blaster Live.

Microphones with a battery do not hum. Why?


Because the battery is independent of the mains power.

That confirms that the problem is coming from the mains-
derived microphone power coming through the sound card.

How to make microphones without a battery not hum?


Replace the sound card with one that works properly.
(Or just continue to use the battery.)
