I am trying to pass audio from a laptop to a desktop via a headphone jack from the laptop to a line in on the desktop but it provides constant static. I have tried two different aux cords (new). I currently think I might need an USB to Audio Jack Sound Card Adapter but don't want to buy this too and have to return both if it does not work. Do I need it to be a line out and not a "Headphone Jack" or a sound card?

Thanks

Could be a ground loop. Does it change depending on if the laptop is plugged in or literally ONLY has the aux cable plugged into it (on battery).
