Windows 10: Troubleshooting white noise / hissing when using PC jack or amplifier jack.

I could not find any threads here that helped me during my quest to get rid of a super annoying white noise that I was experiencing all of a sudden. Only threads I found had generic answers to update audio drivers. Decided to open a thread here with what I tried and what eventually turned out the be the reason for the annoying noise. Hope this helps someone.Scenario:Using an Amplifier with HiFi speakers connected via RCA to 3.5mm audio jack to my PC.

Front Panel Microphone Jack Producing Static Noise

Hello All.

Recently I had built my own PC for gaming. I have my Astro A10 headset from my console to use. I had plugged the headset to the front headset jack and that works fine. The headset comes with only one 3.5mm jack, so I had to purchase a splitter. After plugging
in the splitter to talk to my friends online, they had complained that they were not able to hear my voice and were instead hearing a constant, loud static noise. The splitter seems to allow me to hear, but not speak. I had tried to troubleshoot to see if
it was the PC tower, plug, splitter, headset, etc. by attempting the following actions:

• Plugged the splitter to the mic jack behind the computer - microphone worked
• Checked the driver for an update - driver up to date
• Ran the Windows troubleshoot tool - no issues were located
• Tried different pair of headphones (Apple earplugs because those are all I have) - still receiving microphone static
• Made sure the AudioHD cable on the motherboard was fully plugged in - it was
• Made sure the AudioHD cable was farther from the power source - it now is
• Checked various Youtube videos and online threads - no success

I believe I did most of what I can do and listed what I had done. Any suggestions, please?

Thank you, All!!!!

 

White / hissing noise when using headphones

Got my Lumia 800 and am loving it but when using earphones and playing music (so far have been using Spotify and Nokia Music) I hear an annoying hissing / white noise in the background. The noise starts just as begin to play music and stops a few seconds
after pausing music. Anyone else getting the same or is my product faulty?
