Why is my audio interface making white noise?
White noise is most often caused by the gain, or amplification, turned up too high at some point, either on the monitor, from within software, or from the audio interface. Check the levels of your interface, software, and speakers to make sure that nothing is being over-amplified.

What to do about noise in USB audio interface?

Why do I hear white noise when I Turn Up the gain?
For a truer representation of the noise floor alone you need to terminate the input, this can be done by plugging in a condenser microphone (such as the CM25) into one of the inputs but then leaving the phantom power (48V) turned off then adjusting the gain on that channel only.
Why do I hear white noise when I Turn Up the gain on my Scarlett?
Many customers get in touch with us asking why they hear a white noise or hissing sound when they turn up the gain on their Scarlett interface and directly monitor the inputs through either their headphones or monitor speakers when nothing is plugged in. In nearly all cases this is the noise floor that you are hearing and is normal behaviour.
Why does my mic make a noise when I record?
When I record a track, it sounds like the only detectable noise enters it through the mic, i.e. the noise is not actually in my input, but the monitors produce it whenever the input becomes active. This could be a variety of things but there are a few things you can do to trouble shoot. Ensure that everything is plugged into the same outlet.
