A few days ago I started to hear popping and static in my headset. I thought it was my drivers somehow and I reinstalled the drivers I had, didn't help. Then I updated the drivers to their latest version, didn't help. So I've now ordered a new headset and tried that, didn't help. I can only imagine that it's the MB that's starting to get weird. My motherboard is only around 7 months old.
I might remember wrong here but, I think a few days before this happened I was in a skype call and the person I was talking to had a wireless headset that would often decide to "not be in range" and make a horrible static sound. I'm thinking that this horrible static sound that occured damaged my MB's audio jacks somehow.. but I wouldn't know, and I can't remember if I had this issue before that call took place.. I just know they were close to each other when happening.
The popping and static also gets worse if I'm listening to something on youtube and then open another tab in my browser. Say that if I'm only on youtube or watching a movie, or playing a game, the popping and static happens at 30-50% of the time. But if I open another tab while doing this, the popping and static increases to 60-90% of the time.

Thanks in advance!
