Is there another device I could use for sharing audio that might work better?
Yes. Look at the Rane product line. First rate American company based
near Seattle, they don't steal their designs from other companies. The
SM26 is 6x2. The SM82S is 8x3. Rane was the first company to eliminate
Pin One Problems from their entire product line, beginning in 1995. Pin
One Problems are the major cause of hum, buzz, and RFI.

Also, your hum problem may be related to how you are wiring your
interconnecting cables, how you are getting power for your station, and
whether you are bonding your station. Study
http://k9yc.com/GroundingAndAudio.pdf for detailed advice on power and
bonding.
For advice on wiring cables, study AN003 from
http://www.jensen-transformers.com/apps_wp.html
To feed a balanced input from an unbalanced output, do the bonding I've
shown, and use the "Minimal" Adapter Cable shown as Fig 2.1 in AN003. To
feed an unbalanced input from a tranformerless balanced output, use a
3-circuit plug (TRS or XLR) on the balanced output, but connect the tip
and the shell to the unbalanced input, with no connection to the ring.
