Question about Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd gene

My situation: Lenovo L380 Yoga connected to an I-Tec Docking (HDMI, DisplayPort, USB 2.0, RJ-45 (LAN). Manufacturer no. C31HDMIDPDOCKPD100. (A 2nd monitor is connected to it) Then I connected 2x KRK Rokit 8 G4 to the docking station at the moment from 3.5mm jack to 2x XLR unbalanced. I also have free USB-A and USB-C ports on the docking station which could be used. I actually only want to bring the sound of my computer to my studio monitors (KRK Rokit 8 G4, XLR connection). At the moment, I have a slight noise on the LS and would actually only like to fix this noise. Is the sound from the computer also transferred to the interface via the USB cable or do I have to route the 3.5mm signal from the PC to the interface separately? What would you recommend in this case? Many thanks

Helpful answer

Unfortunately, the KRK Rokit 8 RP4 always produces noise, regardless of the interface. I have the same setup and it works fine, just with the standard noise. The important thing is that the Scarlett has a symmetrical 6.3mm jack connection and the KRK prefer a symmetrical signal to an asymmetrical one. So make sure you use a 6.3mm TRS to XLR and not a mono jack.

I hope this helps you.

Hello, I have it directly via USB on my docking station and then my KRK via 3.5 mm on the Scarlett 2i2... works perfectly.
