Microphone detects static sound during recording use!

[Marshman220]

Hello,

So, I had this machine for a week and a half now, and I'd like to continue my YouTube channel gaming but I found a little problem while trying to use Audacity. I like to do a test run with the mic first to see if it's set up right. I instantly found this when I heard it and it's like some static like sound, but I did some experimenting with it. I found out the static increases whenever another background app or browser is open and with that playing I can't continue my youtube videos.

I don't know the problem and sounds like a tough one to figure out but I hope there are some people out there who can find a solution.

well, it's not just audacity, it's when ever my microphone is in use. I just tested it through my Hardware and sound in control panel.
