Windows 10: Headphone jack makes unbearable static sound when I plug headphones in

I have had a brand new a Dell Inspiron 5406 2in1 for a few weeks now, and whenever I plug headphones into the headphone jack, it makes a static sound that replaces any audio that I am meant to be listening to.

This issue is not with the headphones as I have tried multiple types and they all produced the same noise, but when I plugged them into different devices they worked fine.

I have attempted to update my drivers on dell.com/support, but my device is apparantly up to date.

Could this be a hardware issue with my laptop or do I need to find other ways to repair my software?

Static in Headphone Jack on PC

Hello,

Recently, the headphone jack on my Dell Inspiron 17 5000 laptop has produced static sounds whenever I plugged anything in. It produces a mildly sharp snapping sound when using anything I tested in the jack; using speakers is fine because i cannot hear it,
but using headphones or earphones is compromised because the sound is right next to your ear. It goes away after sound has not been used for a while on the PC and it is the same volume despite the PC volume except when it is muted, when it lowers in volume
or goes away. Anything not going though the headphone jack, such as the laptop's built-in speakers, appear to be working fine, with no static. The issue has existed for about a month; I've had the PC for about
1 and 1/2 yrs.

In advance, thank you for any help.

 

Headphone jack producing static noise.

I have a Acer TravelMate B117 that I have been having audio issues with. My speakers work fine (they were acting up so I restarted my laptop and this is when the troubles started to occur, also wasn't even picking up that there was anything plugged in
before restart), but whenever I plug in headphones or earphones (I have tried it with multiple things in the headphone jack, all produced the static). They play sounds but there is static, the levels being too high make the sound distorted (similar to earrape
videos) and I tried disabling/re-enabling the speakers and still same.

I believe that the headphone jack is the thing that is causing the problem and would like any help I can get. I'm getting a headache from the static (didn't listen to it for long but head hurts) and would like some answers to why this is happening.
