hello
I have a pair of Alesis M1 active speakers.
I am connecting them to my dell laptop via a Behringer u-control audio interface.
1/ I am getting terrible humming/distortion as soon as i plug it in via usb.
2/ when i play a MP3 the sound is very low.
I use apple logic pro on my mac mini & the speakers sound amazing, so why so rubbish on my laptop??
PLEASE HELP!!

It sounds like you have mismatched input and output levels at one or more places in the chain.Active speakers (amplifiers built in), in general, expect a "line level" feed. Obviously, there's a wide variation in "line level" output from one product to another, but unless we're talking about consumer stuff versus pro stuff, they'll all be in a similar ballpark and hopefully you have a volume control somewhere along the way - before the speaker's amp input.
I'm not familiar with audio signal parameters on USB connections, or you particular Behringer interface, so that's a question for someone else to reply to. Give a call or email to Behringer and see what they say.

or Feedback - are your mixer controls allowing the mic from you laptop to drive the loudspeaker out?
Three most important things in Audio reproduction: Keep the noise levels low, the power high and the room diffuse.
