Headphone jack noise is distorted

[2000Kid]

I finally bought a new monitor for my computer that was built(my old one was a TV if that helps any) and when I hooked everything up the sound that comes out of the headphone jack is badly distorted (I cant hear voices but can hear background sounds but there distorted to) I've tried 2 different headsets and made sure everything inside was still connected correctly. any help is appreciated thx!

Not sure why it sounds so bad but why don't you just plug your headphones into your PC? You would get better sound out of it. A 3.5mm extension cable could help you do this.

Okay, I thought you were using the audio out on the monitor. Have you tried using the rear audio jack on your motherboard? Also, make sure that the default audio device in your settings (Sound icon > playback devices) is Realtek. Also make sure that the plug is inserted correctly. You probably did but you can get that sort of sound by only partially inserting the plug.
