Wow...I just installed Realtek drivers and now my static has disappeared...strange, should I pickup the sound card anyway for future proofing? Thinking of getting some SteelSeries Siberia V2's.
This is what it sounds like when I plug in the headset to the jacks at the front of the PC

The static seems much quieter when I use the rear jacks...what does that mean?
Every mic/headset I've used with this PC has static:
Sennheiser PC310
Creative Draco PC Gaming Headset
And also a standard desk mic
What could be the issue?...every time I'm in a skype call people say I have static, if i lower the mic boost, then they can't hear me, tried re installing drivers...
