    weird static noice from all headphones when connected to pc

    whenever i plug in any headphones, even speaker into the front panel audio on my case, i get a weird static noise..i cant explain it more than an odd static noise. however, it goes and sounds normal if i put the audio jack into the connection very loosley (im talking about if i nudged the bale it would fall out loose), or if i hold the audio jack quite tightly into the connection. however, i dont do this because i'm afraid it might damage the socket and i dont want to have to keep one hand on the jack to listen to music.

    I have a Lian Li V351 case, and the cable that connects the front panel audio to the mother board is really short, but i have managed to make a direct route to the connector an so i know the connection in fine.

    what should i do about this?

    Sounds like you could use a 'ferrite choke'.

    I have an Antec 300 case, and had exactly the same problem as you describe. Then I came across the link below, done the same, and the problem was gone. I don't know if you have the same problem though so think carefully before cutting anything!
