Hi, I just built myself a gaming PC the other day and I am very happy with it. So yesterday I plugged my gaming headset in the front panel and found that I have nothing but static for audio! I downloaded a Realtek driver and found that didn't work either. I played around with my HD Audio and AC 97 headers and found out that that didn't work either. I plugged into the rear panel but I got the same static sound but only worse! I also made sure it is set on HD Audio on my driver AND BIOS. So for now I have to use SPDIF to HDMI so I can use the audio output that's on my monitor. Any suggestions on how I could get audio from the panels? maybe it's something in the BIOS. I would really like use my microphone from my headset.

Windows 7 Home Prenium 64 bit.
Cooler Master 431 Elite Plus
Asus P8Z77-V PRO
i7 3770k (Not OC'd)
Gigabyte HD 7950
Seasonic 850 watt.
 
Solution
1) Is THIS the Realtek software you installed from your motherboard support site?
Realtek Audio Driver V6.0.1.6699 for Windows 7/8 32bit & 64bit.(WHQL)

2) If stuck, try booting to an Ubuntu DVD to see if audio works without static. If it doesn't, you either have damaged hardware or a grounding issue.

If the problem goes away in Ubuntu then it's not a hardware issue. It's a driver of other software issue with Windows.
