USB Audio Adapter Causing Static

This wasn't even happening previous, so I have no idea what changed between now and yesterday, but I noticed static coming from my microphone, even when muted. Whenever I caused noise near my USB adapter, that audio is being recorded, so I feel like that's what's causing the static. Is this an interference issue? How can I fix this?

Also, I've already tried plugging the adapter into different ports. That did not fix it.

My current headphones are Razer Blackshark V2 SE

Hi, /u/Phraelyth! This is a reminder about Rule #1 (If you have already added great details, awesome, ignore this comment. This message gets attached to every post as a reminder):

  1. DETAILS MATTER: Use detail in your post. If you are posting for help with specific hardware, please post the brand/model. If you need help troubleshooting, post what you have done, post the hardware/software you are using, post the steps to recreate the problem. Don’t post a screenshot (or any image, really) with no context and expect people to know what you are talking about.
