Problem: When using front audio out port on front panel of new pc, I get static sound in headphones. The static sound gets way louder with applications like games (and blocks all game audio), and also gets louder if I click on my start button in Windows 8.1 or when mousing over certain things in browsers.
Things I have tested:
1) back audio-in port with same headphones works fine!
2) restarting computer is to no avail
Background: So I just built this new pc, but unfortunately I have had several problems so far. I will discuss the others in another thread. Anyway, at first my front audio port handled audio fine in all applications on Windows 8.1. I didn't have a mic, and I wanted to talk to a friend, so I plugged in my headphones to my audio-in, on the front panel of my case, and tried using that. It didn't work so well. When I later tried to listen to audio from the audio-in port on the front panel, the problem began (see Problem above).
Thank you to anyone that has a possible solution!
