Static Noise When ReAmping (I think I know why)

Birdy

From time to time I want to reamp some DI guitar tracks from my PC to my Axe Fx XL+
My signal chain is a follows:
DI tracks in DAW>Output 3-4 on interface>Input 2 on Axe FX>FX Loop block on Axe FX>the rest of the Axe preset>Input 1-2 on interface.


Everything works fine this way, except for the noise I'm getting.
It's not audible by itself, but when you go through a high gain amp, the noise gets really loud and annoying.

The DI signal completely overshadows the noise, so you can't hear it while playing, but you can hear it loud the moment the DI guitar goes silent.
And also the noise only appears when the "input 2" cables are connected.


Now, the input 2 on the Axe Fx is Balanced, and the output on my interface is Unbalanced, so I'm guessing that's the problem.
How can I solve that?
Do I need a special box/cable?


Thanks!
