I am hearing noises when I plug my AC/USB Boostaroo into my PC. Is my unit defective?
Frequently Asked Boostaroo QuestionsThe answer is no, your AC/USB Boostaroo isn't defective. What you are hearing is the transient noise that your PC produces naturally through oscillation of your power supply and the hard drive whine caused by its mechanical spin. These noises are much more common in older PC's, but a lot of newer PC's have noise filters built into the PC's USB ports, which eliminates these noises. If this problem is occurring, we recommend using the AC power supply for your Boostaroo instead of the USB cable.
