Headphone Static Noise due to Ground Issue?

[austinjklimzxz]

So I recently just bought myself a pair of good value Noise cancelling headphones (Edifier WB860NB), and currently im plugging it through the included 3.5mm cable to my PC,

 

and through the headphones im wearing a static noise in the background (if i switched on Noise Cancelling on the headphones).

 

However, when I accidentally placed my hand on the case, the static noise disappeared. I also have a card reader connected to the bottom of my desk, if I make contact with it, the static goes away as well.

 

So, how do I "ground" my PC, or even the disk-reader, not really sure whether anyone had encountered this problem before.

 

Currently using the corsair vs550 if not mistaken. Plugged into a 5 gang extension cord.

Does it happen on both rear AND front ports for your headphone jack?

 

Also, what PowerSupply are you running?

Usually, people have a ground loop from multiple grounds. You have the opposite problem of having no ground at all. I'm not sure what is the best way to resolve this.
