What sort of noise?  It is consistently there at lower volume levels?
One possibility is that you are driving the audio too hard and
introducing clipping - check all the mixer settings, not just the master
output as you may have something set too high early in the chain which
is overloading the mixer chain even if the final master output is turned
down.
