Could be loose. Mine barely stays in. Try a different brand and see if it fixes it.

The only thing I can think of is to adjust the input settings on your computer's audio settings, or there is a program called Spin It Again, by Acoustica, that cleans pops, crackles and hisses. I hope this will help.

Possible setup issue. But if you did it right and use hdmi arc it may be a defect. I only hear the relay clicks from the reciever but not popping sounds from the speakers. Try muting something outside your network like the radio and iPhone through usb. If it still pops I would say it's defective.

Mine is doing the same thing, called Pioneer but they don't work on Sundays, will try again tomorrow see if I can find a solution. I relly enjoy the quality and sound crispness of this bar, but the quality is lacking. Bluetooth doesn't work and the poping sound too!! Have to turn it off and on about 6 or 7 times before it works. I think it might be a capacitor malfunction, probably not regulating the amperage correctly.

Yes, buttt! The timing might be a little off and could sound simular to an echo effect. My sound bar is hooked up to optical connection. There should be a way to adjust this tv/soundboard timing, butt! I haven't researched this yet

I had this problem. The solution: Make sure you have an HDMI or Optical cable connected directly to the soundbar from source (My AT&T Uverse box). Make sure to set the audio settings in your source to output "surround". Most cable boxes come pre-programmed to output "stereo". You will hear the difference immediately...and it kicks A**!

If you're carrying audio over HDMI, your connection is fine. The cause of the hiss is either your receiver-speaker lines or the audio settings on your computer, including drivers and software. If the his happens for other HDMI audio sources (e.g. gaming console, BluRay player), then the problem is your speaker connection. If it's only your computer, Try updating audio drivers, different audio programs, and verify that the sound card and receiver are using the same audio format. Good luck!

I have no idea but at $9.00 it is worth the risk right? My problem was with a ground loop. Idk if you have the same issue with a microphone though. I had three different sources plugged into my TV and if I unplugged my cable box HDMI the buzzing would go away but I didn't want to unplug it every time I wanted to switch sources...

Thanks for the reply. Ill try that. Just to pass some info along, my friend told me the best way to hook up the audio is through an optical cable. Ive never used one. There is a port on my PS3 as well as my surrond sound. He said this cable was the best way to get the highest quality out of your surround sound. Kind of like comparing SD to HD. My optima will be coming in tomorrow, I cant wait. Kinda like christmas for me haha. Thanks for the advice on the ceiling mount. I was gonna buy the 20$ one but after your comment I went for the Atdec TH-WH-PJ-FM Telehook Universal Projector Flush Mountit was 54$ but had some good reviews. Cant wait till tomorrow....calling into work sick! Thanks for the reply. Ill try that. Just to pass some info along, my friend told me the best way to hook up the audio is through an optical cable.

Mine is sitting in the junk room. Most of the time the audio came through just fine for me. My issues was that sometimes the audio was so far out of sync it wasn't even watchable. It's a great concept, but a total POS in reality. Like Clayton said, try updating the drivers and see if that helps. I gave up on mine though. A 15' HDMI cable is cheaper and way more reliable.

Just purchased a Samsung 630. First night, we used what we had, a standard cable. Second night, we bought a HDMI cable and immediately it started making this loud, very concerning popping noise. I fear something on the inside is going to simply pop and burn out. what is the problem here??? No tv should make such disturbing noise!

First question, why would you want to split the signal from your box in that way? It would be better to run it direct from the box to the amp (i'm assuming its a receiver) to the tv so you are always using the speakers you paid for.Secondly, I have mine splitting my cable box (DISH) signal to my Xbox One and my Receiver (to take advantage of the Xbox one's "watch tv" functionality but still have the flexibility to use only the TV/receiver combo). I have had no problems with video or audio issues. This should do just what you need it to.

Your source is doing that. Try plugging it in a different device. Hiss gone, guaranteed. (Late answer, but might help future inquirers).

Try using a different HDMI cable, if that doesn't work try a factory reset. Test to see if it's the cable or the device by connecting with the included VGA cable - if the audio is still irregular then it's a bad speaker most likely.

Guys I believe I was one of the first people who reported this issue....and eventually gave up on getting any help here....so I pieced together some info myself and solved the riddle. The older model elite and pro versions of the Xbox have some major issues with this receiver. The only way to avoid HDMI handshake issues is to run the HDMI from the Xbox straight to the TV and then run an optical audio cable to the receiver (this is not a bad solution neccesarily bc the Xbox can only output 5.1 audio as is the limitation for an optical audio cable - 7.1 is a PS3 thing bc it is HDMI 1.3a and Xbox 1.2) Anyhoo, I noticed that people with the new Slim Xbox's weren't having this problem. I went to the Xbox forums and found that with the old Xbox's this is a known problem and cannot be fixed. So I got a new Xbox Slim with Kinect. Before hooking it up, I found that the "BD" HDMI slot is the only one with HDMI Passthrough which helps a lot with HDMI handshake issues (this receiver has a 1.4 slot and the Xbox a 1.2 even the new Slim is 1.2). Now I have no problems whatsoever with Netflix movies cutting out or any other issues. So the only resolution is to get a newer model Xbox (Slim). Hope this helps and I wish someone would have been there to tell me that a long time ago to save me a lot of time
