GamesofDumois same issue. What I've noticed is the louder the game volume is set, the less the static. So when the polycade unit is turned all the way down, the static is loudest. However, if you adjust the volume windows settings there is no change until you hit mute. So, while there still is noticable static, the best way currently to reduce it is set the volume all the way up on the unit and then adjust windows to around 30/100 so you don't blow your ears out. We need a fix for this static!
