I built this computer maybe almost a month ago. I have had on and off issues since I built this thing. Long story short, now I am finally getting around to looking into the audio problem I have been facing.
On my last computer, I used this same setup just fine with no static. However, on this newly built PC my headphones have a CONSTANT static in the background. If I turn my volume high on the amp, it gets obnoxiously loud. However, if I keep the volume low and receive no amplification, I can deal with the static. I would like to fix this though and not hear it anymore.

Things I have tried
1. I have plugged just my headphones (no amp) into a laptop and there was not static.

2. I have plugged my headphones (no amp) into my computer, and there was static. 

3. I have tried both the front panel audio ports as well as the back audio ports and they both have static.

4. I saw a suggestion on reddit saying to unplug the front panel cable from the motherboard, that it may get rid of the static through the ports on the back of the computer. It still had static.
5. I have also tried uninstalling realtek audio drivers, but it didn't fix the problem.
6. The only other headset I own is a wireless headset that uses a USB dongle, and it has no static.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks!

Just tried this in BIOS, but sound still persists. Thank you for the timely response!

That's a shame, the other thing I've sometimes heard of having an influence on audio is anything that impacts the I/O die, so you could try turning off EXPO, for example.

 

What happens if you plug in a cheap pair of speakers, does that get static?

 

Have you tried assigning the wrong profiles to the device? E.g. make it treat headphones like speakers, or change 5.1 to 2.0 and vice versa.

Back when my computer was having previous problems I disabled XMP assuming it was the root cause and iirc it still had static.

I unfortunately don't have any spare speakers to test this.

I am unsure how to assign profiles like you mentioned.

Do you have the control panel installed (Realtek)? You can make the changes there.

 

You can also right click the volume icon in the taskbar and go to sound settings.

Played around with it for a bit, nothing new.

Would you think buying an auxiliary to usb adapter, then plugging in the usb to the back of the computer would resolve this issue?

If the problem is between the jack and the sound chip, sure, I guess?

 

If the problem is between the sound chip and the CPU, then not so much, you'd need a USB soundcard instead.
