According to the link here, when the negative of a charged cap is connected to ground, some charge is expected to redistribute itself into the ground, since attaching the ground changes the system (it adds the large equipment chassis surface area to the negative plate and also connects the plate to the stray capacitances in the system), even though there is not a complete circuit formed. So a continuous current will not flow but charge may indeed redistribute itself to the equipment chassis and ground, especially if there is a dynamic perturbation of the ground (such as a music signal?). This will be limited because the attractive force of the positive plate to the electrons on the negative plate will eventually balance out the repulsive forces pushing the electrons out of the negative plate.

Enough to affect the sound? Perhaps. It seems plausible.
