[QUOTE="Thud, post: 98264"] The "mmm-mmmm" sound could have been any number of things. Big sound systems like that are very fickle. It was probably a ground loop somewhere. It has nothing to do with the computer or OS itself-- actually I'm not surprised that you heard some noise when you hook a 1/8" mini jack into a big sound system. If you want to use a computer for that kind of audio work, a tiny 1/8" stereo jack just isn't going to cut it. They're good for headphones but they're crap when you plug them into a large amp. You need an audio interface that preferably supports 1/4" balanced I/O. You can spend $100-$150 and get a good quality one for a windows machine, or you can buy a whole new Mac computer, but you'll still need the pro audio interface anyway because you'll have the exact same problem with the mac machine.
