You could try using an isolating USB.

Hi Dieter and Florian -- 

Thanks for your replies. 

Florian: you were right in your diagnosis -- it was my USB-powered audio
interface. The synth was totally quiet until I plugged it into the
interface. 

So, that's sorted but it's a bit of a pain! Now I need to get a new audio
interface?!

Thanks for your help -- glad to know that my PSU is not stuffed.

Kind regards,
Jon
