Sound in the headphone?
I would almost bet that it has to be power related.
You need to find a friend who is an old-school tech who can identify power supply hum and noise levels. The is often done with an analog oscilloscope.

Failing components, especially capacitors can cause this. Some techs might have the stuff needed to test capacitors in-circuit. But seldom found in a hobby workshop.

Here is a You Tube video that explains the concept of in-circuit testing. But I do not know if the information is applicable to computers. It is NOT easy. You can do a lot of damage.  Yet there are some techs out thee that can do it.

But it is a lot easier to just swap the PSU.
