Is My Motherboard Stuffed?

MOTHERBOARD: Asrock Z97 Extreme 4

I suspect I may have broken my motherboard's onboard audio. I tried plugging my speakers straight into the front headphone jack (dumb, I know) and now they make this constant repetitive noise, even when no sound is playing.

I have tested a different pair of speakers and they produce the same noise.

Will I need to replace my motherboard? Is there any possible workaround?
