Question on Current leak

[Pearce]

Hello guys, I have question on current (electric) leak.

Whenever I touch the USB cable end or even aux cable that connect to pc and sound speaker, even connect aux cable from monitor to speaker have current (electric) leak.

Does anyone happen to know why there is a leak? Is it due to PSU from the desktop or because of multi-plug?

What is the meaning of grounding issue?

Meaning your electric socket is not grounded i.e. the ground/earth wire is not connected properly.

Is not Current leak, is called ground issue.
This issue you will have to change case as some case have poor grounding or
the internal has some damage.

What case you are currently using?

The earth wire is not grounded to casing. This could be the mutiplug does not have earth wire connected.

The casing was bought more than 5 years ago and didn't really dismantle or touch the cable/wire except change of HDD.

How do I check ground issue inside the casing?

Should I change casing instead?

Yes go for Cooler master case for budget case than Tecware.
As well as do check your electrical extension if you are using one.
If any of the socket or if the extension is old do change.
Get a test pen to test for grounding, just touch the outside of the case.
If it shines means grounding have issues.

IMHO.
If got power extension, change power extension first.

I am using this and all 5. (with the safety label and bought more than 5 years ago)

PC, Speaker, Monitor, Handphone charger and Xiaomi TV box.

When family members show on any lights in any room, the speaker will have yinnnn or zzzzz sound. Then need to readjust the aux cable on the speaker bass. (Still using Altec Lansing but now need to adjust a while in order for both speaker to have sound)
