No HiFi here! Just Audio.
I bought 4 mini PC; all of them have the audio jack missing the connection to the mass when off. So if your speakers remain on, you hear an annoying hum.
When you turn on the PC, everything is fine, no more hum, if you check with an Ohm meter, the mass is now connected.
I solved this issue by connecting the audio mass to the mass of the mainboard with a short bridge. Very simple to do, but you must be very careful.
The operation doesn't need any explanation, just look at the pictures.
BTW, you better replace the SSD pad with one 1mm or 1.5mm thick, the stock one doesn't touch the bottom panel, so it is useless. I also removed the SSD label. The right pad stays with the bottom panel, not with the SSD, when you open the PC.
Cheers!
