There it is ... just called "High Definition Audio Device". Click on that and it should say it's working properly.
No other error-ed or complaining device in Device Manager, right?
In Control Panel/Sound ... set that exact one as "Default Device" for PlayBack and Record. Config and Test.

What kind of headset?
If analog (1/8" plugs) , try in back (direct to motherboard) ports.

Try the ports in the back, also unplug any other devices attached to the machine that aren't 100% needed.

The Turtle Beach PX3 Wireless Headset is only a true "USB Headset" when run in:
Wireless Mode (switch Transmitter to PC/Mac mode: presets are deactivated)
In true USB mode (almost always better than analog), you are using the "sound card" in the headset. The x51 sound card isn't even being used ... just usb ports.
Since it's wireless, my guess would be the static is from Wireless Interference or other EMI .
You might want to try it on another machine or console or talk to TB. Notice they give you a way to optionally hard-wire it (but don't supply the cable). The manual says the "Charging Cable" they supply doesn't have the data lines hooked up.

I have tried to talk with a different mic but there is still static and it's wired with a 3.5 mm jack.

Remove PX3 and uninstall any software and/or drivers for it. Reboot machine.
USING THE x51-R2 BACK 1/8" Audio Jacks (you should probably verify these colors):
Green - Connect simple analog stereo headphones or earbuds.
Pink - Connect PC-style analog mono mic.
After you do that (and can leave it that way for a day or so) post back here and either myself or Dell Rep. will help you troubleshoot.
