listing to music and i hear alot of popping/static in the background. is this normal?
 
Sorry just got home from work so yea it would help on head phones

Are you using powered/noise canceling headphones? If yes, then what you are hearing is interference from the WiFi or other radio waves. It happens to me with my headphones when I'm near my router. Or it could also be a ground issue with the power socket you are using.
