I've just built my new computer 2 days ago and was playing games perfectly until my headset audio volume randomly halved its self and started to play full volume whitenoise static...

Motherboard: ROG STRIX Z590 E Gaming WIFI
Notes:
- I've had my headset audio jack plugged into the green line out jack in my motherboard
- The issues started happening about 4 hours after the computer had been powered on while I was gaming so I don't see how this could be a dusty/grubby audio jack issue
- The static only appears when sound is coming from the headset if it is connected with an audio jack extender
- I'm using an audio jack extender (which isn't the problem)
- The system/headphones volumes don't affect the static volume
- The static is loud enough to give me a headache...
Troubleshooting I've done:
- I've tried moving the headset from the motherboard jacks to the front chassis jack (Didn't change anything)
- I've tested my headset by plugging it into another device (Everything went away)
- I've removed the audio jack extender and tried plugging the headset jack both into the motherboard and front chassis jack (Made it so static would happen 100% of the time regardless of if the headset was receiving sound)
- I've reinstalled the audio drivers for the headset and motherboard
