Random audio static

[Milotticboys]

I've just build my new computer 2 days ago and was playing games perfectly until my headset audio volume randomly halved its self and started to play full volume static...

 

Motherboard: ROG STRIX Z590 E Gaming WIFI

 

Notes:

1. I've had my headset audio jack plugged into the green line out jack in my motherboard

2. The issues started happening about 4 hours after the computer had been powered on so I don't see how this could be a dust issue

3. The static only appears when sound is coming from headset if connected with audio jack extender

4. I'm using an audio jack extender (which isn't the problem)

5. The system / headphones volumes don't effect the static volume

6. The static is loud enough to give me a headache...

 

Troubleshooting I've done:

1. I've tried moving the headset from the motherboard jacks to the front chassis jack (Didn't change anything)

2. I've tested my headset by plugging it into another device (Everything went away)

3. I've removed the audio jack extender and tried plugging the headset jack both into the motherboard and front chassis jack (Made it so static would happen 100% of time regardless if the headset was receiving sound)

4. I've reinstalled the audio drivers for the headset

 

I've concluded that the issue must be an internal issue with the pc, but what is it and what should I do?

Hopefully I haven't scared you away by typing a whole essay about this issue but help would be greatly appreciated.

Static is usually analog and can come from a lot of sources.  It might not even be your pc. Big arc welders are so famous for producing static that they’re often banned in residential areas for example.
