Question LOTS of static on microphone.

[arlenham]

I've been having this issue for a few months now and I've been so frustrated about how much static there is on my mic.

I found a few causes of this static and I do not know how to fix them.

(reference video)

My microphone is connected in the rear panel, and front panel audio is disconnected from motherboard. (front panel disconnected because it also caused static)

Need help!

Also include audio equipment and all device connections.

Possibly a loop. Touching components alters the connection paths.
