Aurora R10, front panel mic jack creates high pitched buzzing noise

For quite a while now, I have been running into a weird issue where a high frequency buzzing noise appeared randomly on my headphones. I had to reboot the system to get rid of it until it would reoccur randomly. 

Now I found the culprit: its the front panel mic jack and to get rid of the buzzing I muted it in the windows control panel. I don't use the FP mic anyway.

I got this overly expensive PC for 1.5 years now and it keeps finding ways to annoy me.
