@Jake541 Welcome to HP Community!

 

I understand that you are getting static noise while connecting the microphone.

 

Do not worry. I will try to fix the issue.

 

Have you tried with a different microphone?

 

Incorrect Windows 10 playback settings can also result in loud buzzing sound in your headphones or other playback devices. If there’s no problem with the headphones itself, it is worth going to audio or sound settings to make some changes.

Adjust Playback Settings

Step 1. Right-click the speaker icon on the Taskbar and select Playback devices to open Sound settings. Double click your headphones device to open the Properties.

Step 2. Choose the Levels tab and then adjust the Microphone slider to 0. Click Apply.

Step 3. Go to the Enhancements tab and then check the Disable all sound effects. Click OK twice to exit.

Adjust Recording Settings

Step 1. Right-click the speaker icon on the Taskbar and select Recording devices.

Step 2. Double click the Microphone and open the Properties box.

Step 3. Go to the Levels tab. Adjust the Microphone Boost slider to 0. Click OK twice to finish all the settings.

Now plug in your headphones and try playing some audio files. You will never hear the static sound in the headphones anymore.

 

Please update the audio drivers and update the BIOS and check.
