You may find it difficult to find an isolated wall socket in a residential home. While the outlet may physically be distant from the other, chances are they could be on the same circuit (breaker). Especially if they are those outlets in the same room. Not to mention poor wiring of older houses and apartment buildings.

Is the monitor an LCD or CRT?

Have you tried muting all inputs in your software audio mixer? A buzz could be introduced from the mic or line input connector jacks.

Ideally, A/V devices should be plugged into the same outlet and/or same circuit as to share a common ground. You can try something called a Ground Lift, it's a female three-prong plug socket to a male two-prong adapter. This can potentially remove an issue...

Another cause of audible buzzes and humming with motherboard integrated sound cards is the interference cause by nearby devices in the computer (case). Desktops and laptops are both prone to this type interference. Personally, my MacBook Pro laptop needs a ground lift to overcome the noise even if devices share a common outlet.
