Just wanted to check in on this, so that other Level 10 GT users would be aware. When I use the front panel headphone jack from the case, I had major interference from the entire system.
I am running the following: Processor:Intel Core I7-6700K @ 4GHz Cooler:Corsair Hydro Series H90 Motherboard:MSI Z170A XPower Gaming Titanium Edition RAM:Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB DDR4 24000 (CMD16GX4M2B3000C15) PSU:Corsair HX850 850W 80PLUS GPU:MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4G LE Sound:SB Recon3D Fatal1ty Pro Optical:Samsung SH-222BB/BEBE HDD0:OCZ Trion 150 SSD HDD1:WD Velociraptor 300 HDD2:WD Raptor 150 HDD3:Seagate 1TB HDD4:Seagate 1TB OS:Windows 10 Pro 1607 Case:Thermaltake Level 10 GT (best case ever) Battery Backup:APC 1500VA LCD
I plugged the correct front panel audio connector into the SB sound card. If I used the headset on the front panel I would hear my mouse moving. I would hear the GPU cycles, CPU cycles... it as very audible, but livable if I was gaming. If I plugged in my mouse and keyboard on the front panel, the noise would amplify ten-fold.

Since I recently had to take a part my system for a rebuild, I checked out some resources online and found this:

This fix worked like a charm! It's like I have a whole new sound system! Everything is so CLEAR!!!! I hear things I've never heard before!
Hopefully this will help some folks in the future.
