When i speak into my mic, i get static ONLY when I talk?
I tried using two mics (both using the microphone port, not the USB)
I also tried using the front ports and back ports of my computer and i still have the same problem.
AND the Sound Recorder on my computer gave me the same problem, i can hear my own static when i record myself speaking :/
Please help, my friends don't stop complaining about the static!

Are you sure you mean static (crackling sounds, like frying eggs), not feedback (your own voice, whistling, etc.)?
Static is almost always caused by bad hardware and, if you've eliminated the mic and the jack, all that's left is the sound card, and that's very unlikely to be causing static.
Feedback can be caused by a lot of things. Make sure your mic input isn't coming out of your speakers. If you can hear it, so can the mic, sending it back into the sound card, sending it back through the speakers to the mic, etc., etc., making all sorts of bad effects.

Most probably the device driver is not working properly. Either reinstall the device driver or roll back to the previous driver. Hopefully should solve your problem
