windows xps 8900 static sound
yeah, so i just bought this windows xps 8900(windows 10) and it is working pretty fine, but when i play a game, for example league of legends or counter strike global offensive, it makes this REALLY annoying static sound(i use a headset by the way, i use the microphone and headphone jack). i have gotten sort of used to it but i want to know if there is a way to get rid of this static sound. anybody have any suggestions on what i should do?

Hi Chris,
Thank you for writing to the Dell Community Forum.
May I know if the static sound occur only during the games or any other applications, like videos or music? Have you tried another headphone to ensure it is not an issue with the headphones? Does the same static noise occur on the speakers as well?
I recommend you to update the system to the latest video, audio drivers and BIOS from the link:

Please update the drivers and BIOS and let us know the status to assist further.

ok. i am currently downloading the drivers. the static sound occurred mostly when i opened games up, but sometimes randomly, it just does it for a second or two then stops. and i have tried other headphones and ended with the same result.

i updated my drivers and there was no change in noise, the static is still there when i open up any game. by the way, the static sounds like a fly going around your ear constantly or like a lawn mower (it changes randomly)

Hi Chris,
Glad to know that you were able to get to the root cause of the issue. Please PM me the service tag of the system, along with your contact details, email address and physical address. I will get the front I/O panel replaced based on the warranty of the system.
