Topic: RME Multiface I ;high pitched noise,changing as I change samplerate

Hello,
I own this old but trusted unit,and some time ago I realised I can hear a very high pitched contstant sound coming from all
8 outputs on the back+front headphone output.
I tried changing buffer size and various options in Hammerfall DSP settings but nothing fixed my issue,except when going from:
96khz down to 88.2,then the sound is barely audible so it doesnt ruin playback on quiet parts.
same thing with 48khz,high pitch noise just a bit lower in volume than 96khz.

Can anyone give me an idea what it could be and how to fix it?
If i need to explain anything in more detail I can,just write here or in a private message.
Thanks,
Demijan

Check the power supply, maybe try a different one.

Having the exact same problem here
Tried several power adaptors both AC and DC
Problem persists, suspecting failing capacitors?
Disconnected the ribbon cable of analog board, high pitch noise went away at all sample rate when monitoring through headphone out

Any help is appreciated
