Mackie 820i CH2 buzz issue- Reaper project linked

Had Reaper and 820i (v1) working great for years on laptops, desktops, etc.

Recently CH2 on the 820i has an odd behavior- it buzzes when you plug anything into the 1/4' input. I plugged a 1/4" to RCA adapter in when I first noticed it. If you plug a balanced cable same but if balanced cable is connected to a piece of gear the sound is still there but almost inaudible. I have recreated settings exactly on CH1 and it is silent in all scenarios as it always has been (and CH2 until recently).

I am posting a link to a zipped project with screenshots of freq display of audio examples. One screenshot here.

Anyone have any idea what could be wrong? I will open the unit soon to look inside- I am good with a soldering iron so if I burnt an op amp or something I may be able to repair (although if surface mounted components might be tricky)
