Static coming from computer speakers?

[Antonio Legatos]

i own a dell dimension 5150 -- intel pentium 4 @ 2.80GHz and whenever i plug my headphones in any jack (front jack, rear jack, external speaker jack) I get a static type noise. It's not ear busting loud but it's not super quiet either though, my external speakers, even when everything is cranked to the max, i do not hear any static. The headphones are just fine as i have tried them on my other computer (which sits directly in line with my other computer). Please help!
did i mention that it's a 64 bit operating system and running windows seven professional?

I would suggest you to try using another set of headphones on this system and verify if you get any static.
