I have it setup like it was outlined in a previous thread:

I noticed that the sound gets much louder if I turn the knob up for "MONITOR", I have all other knobs turned all the way down.

 

How do I get rid of this super annoying sound? If it's something I have to buy, please link to it.

You can try grounding the output from your gaming PC to the mixer, that helped me. This is the one I use: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0171PQLB8

What is the difference between the one you linked and this one? https://www.amazon.com/Mpow-Ground-Isolator-Stereo-System/dp/B019393MV2

 

Just showed as a related item on Amazon, and I'm just super curious lol

LOL! I'm willing to bet they are 100% the same thing just with a different sticker/decal.  The cable looks better in the picture for the one you linked, but it's the same cable that came with mine so it's your call if you want to save $1.50 or not. Feel free to check out the video review I did for the one I linked though on Amazon's page (just be careful if you're wearing headphones, I think I forgot to warn people I was going to play music during the test).

Lol oh! I Gotcha. I'll order it and give that a try! I'm thinking I'll order 2 or 3 of them, 1 for pc #1, 1 for pc #2, and one for the monitor / consoles. 

 

That way, I'll be 100% sure everything is good. 

 

Does that sound reasonable?

That's basically my plan also once I get around to it.

Ah, cool! To make sure I have enough, I ordered 4 of them, and 1 of these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01ALGGK2O because currently the mixer is just being powered by usb. I figured that might eliminate any usb powered problems too.

I just got these in and installed them but I still hear this weird static sound. 

 

It gets louder the more I turn up the "MONITOR" knob. When I get to half and go over half on the monitor knob, it gets very loud.

 

I'm at a loss as to what could be happening. I just now tried unplugging everything aside from USB power and Headphones, and the static sound is still happening, as you can see here:
