I basically unplugged all USB devices as well as shut off both

Not sure what to try next, this was a shot-in-the-dark.
If you think it's a interrupt-sharing issue, consider using a
pcie-to-pci riser to plug in your card. Apparently, this way of doing
things may ensure less bus contention:

Also, be sure that interrupt contention is really the problem. If
it's a constant noise, there's a better chance that it's a different
problem. One issue is that your recording software may not be using
the same bit depth, alignment, or complement as what the card
expects. I can get this effect on output, for example, simply by
using 'mplayer'
interesting angle ...
envy24control (and the new mudita24) register this noise on input
whether devices are plugged in or not. So the noise is clearly coming
from either the delta breakout, card or driver. I've ruled out the
breakout box and card simply by the fact that the noise doesn't exist
on the same hardware with windows7 drivers.
