Can someone help me out with the situation I have.
I'm using M-Audio 2626 audio interface at home for editing some recorded tracks and audio measurements of the stuff I build. It is a fairly simple 8 channel firewire interface hooked on my PC. It is powered by it's own (original) PSU in a box near the wall outlet. PSU is delivering +12vdc.
Whenever I turn on/off my desk lamp, unit I'm working on or anything connected to the same outlet, audio interface looses connection to the PC.
I'm thinking it's probably a short-term voltage drop/spike that it's PSU can't handle.
Would placing the 1000uF cap between +V and ground inside the audio interface, right after the DC input connector, fix this issue? Or I should look for a solution elsewhere?
I'm unable to move the audio interface to a different wall outlet since this is the only one on that side of the room.
