Alsa + Pulseaudio Microphone Becomes Static When Headphones Plugged In

This is a very strange issue. For whatever reason, my microphone outputs static when my headphones are plugged in, but through speakers it records just fine.

I've gone into alsamixer and found 'Auto-Mute mode' and disabled in. I then mucked around with Mic boost and Internal Mic Boost, which fixed the issue. After a restart, however, it's stuck again.

I've tried that again. It didn't work. I tried 'pulseaudio -k' and then 'pulseaudio --start' and it didn't fix it.

Is there a way to either get it fixed or find a reproducible way to counter it? And is there an explanation as to why it's happening? Thank you.

(Sorry if I ommited any important outputs of commands, just ask for them if they are needed)

Okay, I've narrowed down the issue. Running 'pauvcontrol' showed me that when I plug in my headphones it is trying to use that as a microphone as well. The options for recording are "Internal Microphone (unplugged)" and "Microphone (plugged in)". Both of them result in static.

Okay, fixed. I installed alsa-tools and then ran sudo hdajackretask and set the internal mic to be used as internal mic. I then installed the boot override and now it works.
