Sounds like it could be common mode noise. Try to unplug all switching power supplies around the record setup. For some real in depth info check Dave's video:

If you're using a good mic which it is it could be picking up fan noise, turn it all the way down and see if it still makes that noise. No matter what your gain is at if its white noise it will remain.

lower the windows record volume that should help.

ok thanks. i didn't realize that white noise would remain if the mic volume is zero. when i turn the mic down there is no noise so it could be fans or something. mms ill look into gett better fans or something.

so i think i've found my solution, https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00ZKM3SHK/ref=twister_B01E0S77TY?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1, this bypasses the usb and it has no static. i plugged my headphones into my front pannel and the static was gone from my headphones as well, so im thinking it will do the same if i use this to plug into my line in
