Static in speakers?

[Tm_Carbon]

So I recently switched out my power supply to a EVGA Supernova G2 650 watt. During the switch I accidentally bent one of the usb 3.0 pins and due to the way it bent I can't get it back up. I can still use my front usb ports and my headphone/mic jacks however now I get a very strong static sound in my headset. I am unsure if the bent pin is whats causing the static or the power supply as I didn't have this issue with my old one. I get more static whenever I click with my mouse so I'm unsure on what to think about that. I have also tried using the back audio ports on my motherboard and I get the same issue. My headset is a HyperX Cloud Stinger headset. 

 

The static comes out of the right side but I know the headset was not damaged because I can plug it into other devices and it sounds normal. 

 

Any help would be appreciated as I'm stuck and answers I've found involve buying a audio card which I would rather not do.

Try to keep power cables far from the audio circuit. Did you rearrange something when changing the power supply?

I didn't rearrange anything but the cables and nothing is near the front or back audio ports.

Have you tried unplugging the bent usb header?

Just unplugged it and I'm still getting the static.

Are all other power cables properly plugged in?

Everything has been unplugged and plugged back in with no fix to the issue.

Well the front audio ports no longer recognize that my headset is plugged in. The back still sees it though.

Then it looks like it is just the power supply. You could try contacting EVGA to see what they say, but if they do anything they'll probably just offer to RMA it.

 

Switching PSUs are just noisy, as is the regulator on the motherboard.

Maybe it's a driver issue, then?

Well I updated drivers and it' still having issues however, as long as I don't plug the headset fully in I don't hear the static. Not necessarily the best fix but it will do for now. Later I will try going back to my old power supply to see if it fixes anything. If not then I'm going to try and RMA. 

Thanks for helping.

Does your headset have a combined audio/microphone plug? Like a 4-pole vs 3-pole?

My headset is a combined audio/mic plug however my computer does not have a port for it so I use the splitter the headset came with to make it 1 audio and 1 mic plug.
