Topic: I hear some noises in my headphones when nothing is played

Guys please anybody help me! I was so happy to get my new RME HDSPe AIO Pro for my computer. It plays music wonderful everything is good. I am using my both Yamaha headphone and AudioTechnica art monitors but I hear some noises in my headphones when nothing is played just as windows starts. Even when browsing or moving mouse the noise gets higher or lower depending on what you are doing at the computer.  I tried many things but nothing helps.. maybe it should be like that because it is analog output?
please give me some ideals clues or solutions about that!
Thank you very much!

Remove the cables from the AIO going to the ART monitors, then check with headphone. If still there check if the noise changes if you set the phones output to a lower ref level (in the Settings dialog).

That noise is typical for ground loops. Quesion is if that is an internal ground loop noise of the computer or caused by the conection of the monitors.
