To see if the noise was a problem with my cable, I unplugged it from the audio interface and STILL got the same whine. Is it a problem with the interface or windows?
I own another USB microphone and I plugged it in. My issue did not occur with the USB microphone. After consulting with a family member who has experience with audio equipment, we think it is likely ground loop interference. Thank you for reaching out.
My new microphone goes through an audio interface. I unplugged the microphone from the interface and still got the interference. The microphone is an se x1 s and the interface is an ART dual pre amplifier.
