MV1C side to the metalwork of the control panel- other end to the ground/screening can of the psu or mobo.
Its academic really as about half the 120 wires to/from CN6 & 7 are common grounds anyway. Leaving that green ground wire off will not have a great effect- if you do leave it disconnected make sure the wire doesnt hang loose, I had one short to the mobo and fucked it up

mine isn't mounted to the cp....
I put the wires to the corner of the mem reader....didn't know where else to put them...
then the other end to the 4 slot shell. Then, a ground wire to the shell and another wire from the shell to a screw on the metal part of the CP...
still get a buzz from the headphones

The grounding between MV-1C and mobo is not causing the hum, try taking an attenuated signal from the speaker outputs (supergun style) using 10K and 1K Ohm resistors and see what happens - not a fix but maybe a temp work around.

I am not touching the stereo/mono setup for the speakers I have. You only really notice the buzz when the music is not playing....Unless there's something I can do with just the headphone setup and cab....I am stuck.
oh well, thanks for the help!

So your saying with the cab speakers (no headphones) you hear the buzz ?

Cool...
I'll take some pics for you tomorrow..
Hmmm,
I'm not sure on the wireless headphones ..but that would be different
Funny thing is I've been wanting to look into a good set myself to use while playing my consoles.
At night I always use headphones to play games ..A pair of Sony's that cost me a nice piece of change awhile back.
Problem is: the wire is a pain...

I saw those....I didn't think I'd find them comfortable..
How are they..?
I bought a set of these ..Sony MDR-V900 ...(got them cheaper in N.Y.)
I also bought a set of these that I mainly use..Sony MDR-CD 60,well I let me Son use them...
The wires are just a pain...
I've never did any research on Wireless headphone
Just how good do the work..?

Get a test meter and check the continuity between ground on the mobo and ground on the headphone jack -thats the one closest to the actual plug body (away from the tip)
