Headphone mics output extreme static all the time
Ive had the same PC (Windows 10) for over 6 years now. At first I used a mountable mic and camera that connected via USB, but when I got a pair of headphones with a mic, the sound was always static, even the ambient noise. I thought it was due to a faulty mic, but thats not the case. The old headset, a Razor Chimaera, has now been replaced by a Razor Kraken. Both headsets had and have fully functional mics, as the Chimaera had been used on a different computer and worked fine, and just now I tested my Kraken's mic on my phone and it worked just fine.
The Chimaera connected via two wires, one for the audio/headphone jack and one for the mic jack, whereas the Kraken im using now can connect both audio and mic with one plug into the audio jack. The issue is the exact same for both, whereas when I used the USB plugged mountable mic and camera, static would only occur due to the mic itself being in bad positioning (it was faulty).
I would really like to know what on earth could be causing this discrepancy with the microphone and audio jacks as opposed to a USB mic, or if its completely unrelated to the jacks themselves and moreso the hardware behind it.
