Micophone Static - Please help

[jamso]

Hi I am having a really bad problem that I just can't seem to fix
On my desktop I keep getting bad microphone static and really quiet microphone volume.

I've tried 3 different headsets (Astro,Turtle and Senheiser) and they all have the same problem. The recording is quiet at 100% mic volume, or I can use boost and get even more horrible static.

I've tried the front and rear microphone/headphone jacks and both have the same problem.
If I use these headsets on my laptop the recording is great, no static and loud, so the headphones are fine.

My microphone is at 100% in windows (No boost cause the static is horrible with that on)
I have the realtec driver installed, but I still have a device in device manager called HD Audio controller that says high definition audio-controller not enough resources (error 12)
Not sure if this is causing the issue? I have the realtec audio drivers installed so not sure why I have this in device manager

PC specs are as follow
I7 4770
AMD R9 290
16GB RAM
Gigabyte z87-d3hp

Would a dedicated sound card help the static issue?
Not sure if it's related but if I switch from speakers to headset my audio goes really low and bad quality until I restart. Again not sure why this is happening.
Please help. I've been trying to fix this for 4 weeks and really struggling.

you need a cheap dedicated sound card like the asus xonar DG, it's electrical interference from the motherboard.

Is creative sound blaster Z a good pick?
I really need to get this working so I can buy a good sound card if it will help.

Is there a way to find out for sure if it is electrical interference? Why does a laptop not cause this? Also would fixing this HD audio controller driver message that says not enough resources help any?

asus xonar DG is all you need, your wasting money by buying anything more expensive.

your laptop doesn't exhibit this because it's well shielded most likely. pc has a lot more powerful parts running inside it, bigger ones too, etc.

spend the £20 and be happy instead of stressing

What about my driver issue ? Do I need to fix that first or once I have a sound card does it not matter?
I have a cheap 10£ usb sound card by a friend to test at the weekend. Should this see an improvement if its electrical noise ?
I want to spend 100£ max on sound card. Might be waste like u say but I want to get good one even if not going make much difference over 20£ one. For just under 100£ which would you suggest ?

Should I see a slight improvement with this usb sound card too ?
