I didn't turn on my computer for about a week and today when I logged on, the audio was so low and there's a static/buzzing sound when you play an audio. I've tried reinstalling the audio drivers and looked it up on google but got nothing. Anyone got any ideas?.

I plugged it in all the way in. I even tried both front and back audio jacks

UPDATE: I am using the MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard that has that audio boost thing. I don't know if that has anything to do with this problem.

run some more tests, do you have the problem with a different headphone for example.
did you recently install new drivers or something
