[SOLVED] Static in headphones

I've got a very annoying static in my headphones. Whenever I rotate my headphone jack the static goes away, but then my sound becomes horribly muted (very low volume).

pacmd list-sinks:

Any other info I need to provide?

Re: [SOLVED] Static in headphones

Let us start with testing a different set of headphones.

Voila! Is a headphone issue. I now feel so stupid for not thinking of that. Thanks for all your help!
