EMI problems

[fjjbnjn]

So I have had this problem on my desktop since I built it, and I don't know how to fix it. I've looked into it and I'm pretty sure what I'm experiencing is EMI. It makes my microphone staticy, and I get a slight high pitched noise in my headphones. Does anybody know how to fix this?

Could it be the audio driver?

I'm using a steelseries 5hv3 headset. They use the standard headphone and mic jacks, not usb. I've tried plugging them into the front and back, but both produce static.

Could it be the audio driver?

and how would I update it?

Problem could be in the speaker settings in the system tray. I say that because a while back i had to go into the settings and play with them. cant tell ya which ones because i played with all before getting it to work. you can left click or right click and get access to different settings.

This should be your audio driver. Uninstall the current one and install this if it's not the same version. http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4591#dl

Note the Rev number at the top. 1 or 2. On the corner of the mother board will have the Rev number. Might be bottom left near the PCI sockets. If you still have the box it might say on there as well.

Not sure if this will help and as stated could be your audio settings.
