HyperX Cloud II 7.1 Surround Sound Problem

[RIPMoney]

I just recently got my HyperX Cloud II in the mail and was extremely excited to try the surround sound. To my disappointment, there was a constant static noise in the background loud enough to annoy me. I can't use surround sound at all.. some help would be appreciated.

using the included soundcard or not? i know the hxc has been plagued by problems with the soundcard they come with which is why getting the core edition without a soundcard and just buying a decent soundcard is suggested.
