So remember that 'static' I was getting from the audio, well here at home I forgot to plug in the CAT5 cable to my switch and was running off WiFi. As I was surfing and playing a game, I noticed that
static was coming from the HDMI output now!! Odd thing was, that whenever a webpage was refreshing (some of the pages auto refresh) my system went to a crawl and static occurred. So eventually
realizing I was on WiFi, plugged the Ethernet cable in and no static! Ahhhh this is killing me cause i use the WiFi for work...
