After years of struggling with microphone buzz, I stumbled across a solution. While listening to my microphone, I touched my Sound Card and the buzzing completely went away. After doing some research, I found out this is what's called a Ground Loop Feedback. I don't have too much experience with electrical issues like this, but I am wondering what's the solution besides grounding my computer with my finger? Also, shouldn't my PC's 3 prong power cord ground the entire system already?
P.S. When I first built my computer I wanted the interior of the case to be black, but it came in silver so I sand it down and spray painted it black, is it possible the paint is preventing my PSU from being grounded properly?
