I am getting a lot of noise from the front audio port when I put headphones in but none from the back, its much more convenient to use the front one so how can I stop or reduce this?
Thanks, and sorry I don't know anything technical
 
Not at all, have a read around I'm sure the Lian Li cases are a ground loop and there was a thread here. If it was a different case you could try a ferrite ring, that sometimes does the trick.
 
Robbie G has a Lian Li, not sure of the model. He had a ground loop problem, which I believe he managed to fix. I also had this with my Antec 300. With Antec cases, the entire front panel is encased in plastic, at least t is with the 300. Removing the ground wire was easy and solved the problem. With Lian Li, at least in Robbie's case, he had to remove the front panel section and isolate it from the case. Obviously, a much trickier job than just removing a cable.

I'd try a ferrite ring, as Auraomega said, see whether that solves the problem. If not, then you will either have to put with it, or do some DIY on the case.
 
Sounds really complicated, and after taking hours to stuff cables into my case I won't be modding any more haha, I could just get an extension from the back to make it easy to swap?
 
Not sure if this is the right place to ask but do you know if there's a audio/ipod dock type thing that I could connect to my pc to sync the ipod/charge it but also put headphones in to hear sound from the pc?

This has headphone out but not sure if it would only play from the ipod
