Since you are using pins I will assume you have front audio connector. THose are notorious, especially on many less expensive cases, to cause sound issues. If possible use the rear connector, even if you have to get an extension cable for your mic(dont get super cheap or youll have the same issue).

I think the mic will not work if the pins are not plugged in correctly, but you should double check the +s and the -s are in the right spot.

Yeah thats because what's causing the noises is EMF from unshielded electrical paths inside the case. Or, possibly, you have a cell phone too close to system. I had a blackberry once and it would make my speakers make all kinds of weird bleep bloop noises when i put it on top of the case.

YOur regular audio output (by which you are hearing the mic noises) is working fine when there is no mic?
