*couldn’t get a physical shot of front I/O* Ihave my headphone plugged in to the front of my pc the audio works perfectly fine but the input audio makes it sound heavily static I tried it with a different headset and same result and I am wondering what it could possibly be

Static could be caused by a dry joint front panel cable wiring connection on the mic input jack or perhaps the spring connector inside the mic jack hasn't got enough tension to make good contact with the mic plug when it is inserted.
Try gently (stress gently) wiggling the mic plug up and down and side to side when it is inserted and check if you can make the static stop when you hold the plug in a certain position etc.
If you can you may have to open the case to gain access to the mic jack so that you can inspect the wiring connection and if that is OK it may be the jack itself, which cannot be repaired. You would have to replace it.
The alternative is to use the mic input on the rear of the motherboard (pink jack) and check if that is static free.

Alright I’m currently getting a reverse splitter for my headset but I’ll definitely check moving the jack on the front I/o
I would assume that if neither the front or back I/o work it may be a software issue but I wouldn’t know how to fix I’ve already uninstalled and reinstalled drivers unless it’s a hardware issue
And one last question could water even if left to dry out for a long time be the issue of audio working fine but not my mic being static?
Definitely.
The impurities in the water can cause corrosion to occur, and when electricity is also present there may be a galvanic reaction as well
This is ongoing until it has been properly cleaned off using Isopropyl Alcohol 99%+ (available from electronics parts stores).
Even then depending how long it has been going on for it may be too late, but you can only try.
Regarding if the rear mic port also doesn't work, then given what you've tried it may be a board problem. You could try buying a PCI sound card and installing that on the motherboard and use it
Alright once my reverse splitter arrives I can try the back I/O but first I defenitely try cleaning the front I/O audio jack.

Just to confirm, are you using separate plugs for mic and speakers, or a combo plug for them? And are you plugging in to the rear the same way, and getting different results? If you could provide a photo of your front I/O panel that would be great. (To add photos to your question, see here: Adding images to an existing question)

It is a combo headset that has a mic and speaker I haven’t tried the back one yet

So i can only plug this one in the front since it’s the mic and speaker in one 3.5mm headphone jack audio very good but the microphone is just all static when I talk

@platinumchest "It is a combo headset that has a mic and speaker"
Do you mean both Mic and Speaker share a single 3.5mm plug? If that is the case, my leading theory is going to be your front I/O has a separated socket and, thus, the socket you're plugging into doesn't have a dedicated channel for microphone. Static is typical for such issues.
You would need a reverse splitter, such as this (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PBSTHDS/). You plug your single combo 3.5mm jack into the female port of the splitter, then plug the "mic" side of the splitter into one socket for the microphone, and the "headphones" side of it into the other, and you should be good to go.

Yeah there both on 1 I though the front i/o socket was for both since it has the symbol for both a mic and headphones
