Humming noise in my earphones with dimmer FGD211

[p2d 0]

I get humming noise in my earphones through the computer if I dim tthe lights. If I turn the lights totally off or double click to turn it fully on the humming noise disappears.

Is there anything I can do?

Buy some new headphones?

Well new headphones won't solve it. The problem is two prong:

1) the fibaro dimmer creates noise on your home grid due to the constant switching operation of the dimmer while dimmed.

2) your computer has poor filtering, letting this noise interfere with its constant voltage PSU.

So you can get a filter for your computers power cord or you can get one for your lamp. Or you could buy another computer with a better sound card.
