Grounding Issue for DDJ-SX2

I see that the post posted back in 2017 about a grounding issue was closed but today after having my controller for almost 10 years started experiencing grounding for the 1st time in my home and was looking if there was a for sure fix for this? Nothing with my gear or my home has changes since I first acquired this unit so I am baffled why this is happening g to me. The only quick solution I have is to touch my oddysesy case to help ground the jog wheel. I also noticed this only occurs when I have sound coming out of the speaker. . I also noticed that it only occurs when I have my speakers powered on. As soon as I turn it off or unplug the power it immediately stops. Here is the post that Google sent me to: https://forums.pioneerdj.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/204744963-DDJSX2-Grounding-Issue

By the way I am new here and rushed to make the post as my next mobile gig is in 3 days and if I didn't follow any known protocol or rules I truly apologize.

I figured it out!!! I was using a USB-C power adapter in my USB-C port on my laptop instead of my HP power adapter and that was the conflict my controller was having. Which is funny because when I am using my S9 mixer, I use my USB-C charger to power my laptop and there are never any grounding issues. But apparently my SX2 does not like that configuration.
