Noisy On-board Audio

I can hear the noise in my audio pick up every time I move my mouse, and the mic has so much static. I would like a USB DAC that can take a mic and headphone that's somewhat inexpensive, but I have no idea what to get. If you guys have any recommendations, I'd love to hear it.

How are you plugging your mic and headphones into your computer?

I actually couldn't underclock my 5 year old GPU to make it as slow as a next-gen console.

Into the front or back of your computer?

You do know that a dac is only a dac and will not be able to power any headphones and a dac and amp combo are only for headphones you need a external soundcard or look at @SSL guide for removing noise.

Before you buy amp and dac.  My thoughts on the M50x  Ultimate Ears Reference monitor review I might have a thing for audio...

My main Headphones and IEMs:  K612 pro, HD 25 and Ultimate Ears Reference Monitor, HD 580 with HD 600 grills

DAC and AMP: RME ADI 2 DAC

Speakers: Genelec 8040, System Audio SA205

Receiver: Denon AVR-1612

Desktop: R7 1700, GTX 1080  RX 580 8GB and other stuff

Laptop: ThinkPad P50: i7 6820HQ, M2000M. ThinkPad T420s: i7 2640M, NVS 4200M

Feel free to pm me if you have a question for me or quote me. If you want to hear what I have to say about something just tag me.

Both are making noise? 

Might want to try front panel first then.

If you want something that has mic input maybe look at this, but I would recomend a dac and amp combo for your headphones and a 5$ usb sound card for your mic.

I have a Soundblaster E1 which is an external DAC+AMP, its pretty good. It has a mic port too, but I haven't used it so I cant comment on the quality of the mic port.

*Risky click of the day*

What about Asus Xonar U7? It's a great solution to plug in both mic and headphones and it supports full 7.1 if you ever decide to get some extra speakers.

I like the price of the sound-blaster a lot better

If you think that it will fit your needs, then great for you. But make sure to check what sound quality to expect. Also, know that these products are differently designed, the Soundblaster E1 is powered by a battery and the sound controls seem awkward, compared to xonar.

Btw did you try plugging your headset into a different computer and/or plugging another headset to your sound card? It might be an issue with headset and you would dump the cash on sound card for no reason.

I've tried the audio with my phone, and heard no static, the mic I don't know about.
