Im experiencing the same issues a alvahsewell. I've also performed all of the steps he has.
ie:
I've been using my MK2 for a while now and all the sudden today it started making a loud hissing noise. It makes the noise all the time. It is as loud as the audio that plays thru. I already tried: unplugging the power to my laptop, switching out the audo cables, switching the usb cable, and of course every gain setting in windows and the MK2 control panel.
The audio output on my laptop is dead silent compared to the MK2.
-Noise comes from outputs 1&2 and 3&4 (RCA and mini)
-Noise is not on the headphone output
-When I plug in the USB on the MK2 initially all the lights come on and there is no noise. Then the lights turn off except the Audio source lights and imediatly the noise starts.
-I tried it out on another laptop and I got the same results even before the drivers loaded.
-I also tried to disable the internal soundcard, same problem
-I really don't want any one else to tell me it's a ground loop problem. I promise it's not a ground loop problem and it doesn't even sound the same.

Still no resolution. This is a brand new laptop, brand new hercules as well.
Would a ground loop isolator do the trick?

Yes...a ground loop isolator would resolve your issue.....
