It seems that when I have the headset connected, sometimes I hear hard
drive type noise, but out of the speakers/headphones, not very loud,
but enough to be annoying. How do I get rid of it? It is because my
volume is set too high?

I had a computer a few years ago, that had a similar low level
background rumbling noise. The motherboard had a VIA chipset built in
audio. I finally disabled that in BIOS, and installed a real sound card.
It was quiet as could be after that. Good luck.

OK, that might explain it. It is a built-in sound card.

I'll mute all non-essential items in volume control. Sometimes that
gets rid of hiss, etc.
