Windows 10: Microphone making static noise...

Hi! I'm having trouble with my current headset... it is a Razer Kraken and I had no issues with it, until I upgraded my rig with a new gpu, and motherboard. Ever since, the microphone only makes a static noise. I've already updated my sound drivers, through windows and the motherboards manufacturers website. I'm on windows 11 ver. 22H2 and my motherboard is a Gigabyte B450M. I tested it with a different pair of headphones and the mic worked great, which causes me to think it may be headset issue, but I just want to make sure the issue isn't fixable before I go out and buy a whole new one.

Windows 10 static noise

I am using the Logitech G230 as a headset and before installing Windows 10 the sound was fine. But after installing Windows 10 my microphone makes alot of static noise. I tried my headset on a computer with Windows 7 again and the static noise dissapeared,
but after going back to my own computer with Windows 10 the static noise came back. What can I do to fix this?
