My headset is possessed?

It screeches and shouts a dubstep robotic voice whenever I try to listen to it. I tested it on my phone and everything is good. Green jack on my PC works fine, both back and front. My only hunch is the pink jack on the front. Because whenever I insert my headset's mic(pink) I hear a lot of noise and dubstep robotic screeching.
I have an edifier X100 speaker and usb webcam with mic attached on the back, while my headset is attached on the front. Everything was fine before, what happened? Can someone please help? I tried googling for answers but I'm not sure if it's they're correct.

It's probably the front jack then. Look up a guide to your motherboard and make sure the audio jumpers are connected properly, and if they are you're probably out of luck.

A cheap solution would be to buy a 3.5mm splitter for the microphone jack on your motherboard, but you'll have to disable or mute whichever one you're not using everytime you switch.

Sounds like a faulty microphone. Do you have "Listen to device" disabled?

Also, have you tried testing the mic on the motherboard slot? You could have incorrectly connected the front audio jumpers to your motherboard but it is unlikely as I don't think you'd hear anything.

I used Listen to Device when I started testing it up to now. I tried testing it on the mobo slot on the back, works fine. But it's bad on the front panel. Tested my mic on my smartphone, works fine :(
