phasing with a USB mic connected by external connection

I have a  Rhodes Nt-USB mike that I was using with Audacity and picked up some serious phasing-robotic interference in my test recordings. 

I verified the the hertZ format for the mic’ and Audacity were a match. I also tested in Logic and Garage band and had the same issue. My non-usb mics never had the phasing but go thru a M-Audio Air 192/14.

A lot of my midi and USB gear are all hooked up vie external connections as my MacBook Pro M5 only has 3 “c” connections and those are used for monitors. The external outboard gear all are connected thru the monitor usb connections.

Further testing a swapping cables and using other connection points. Same issue with phasing.

I remove one of the monitor connections and plugged the Rhode

 mic’ directly into the Mac book pro and from there, testing  with Audacity/logic pro/garage band recorded with no issue and no phasing/robotic sound. But also lost a few midi/usb devices as they go thru the monitor that was connected.

Is there any settings or trouble shooting that I can do to eliminate the phasing from having the mic’ connected via hub? I also did a reset in Apples Midi set up…….
