Hey Everyone, experiencing a strange background audio sound when I have my headphones plugged into the front audio jacks of my PC, it sounds like a popping sound, repeating a "pop" noise about 8 times a second. I don't hear the noise if I plug the headphones into the rear audio output on the motherboard, so I do not believe it to be a headphone issue. Any Ideas on what this could be?

Did you plug in ac 97 or HD audio for the from panel umbilical's? Sometimes that can be the program its self making the noise like realtek does that when I plug mine in. But it doesn't loop like that. I would maybe try looking into what ever audio device software you have and look at preferences or settings to try to figure out if it's just a loop back of the notification sound or not. I would also maybe hold the plug firmly into to place to see if the problem proceeds
