The only way to really know that in a simple, non technical way is to substitute the cable with another that is presumed to be good. May I suggest the Amazon basic Toslink. I own both the Bluerigger and the Amazon. The Amazon cable fits in the Optical slots firmly; the Blurigger wobbles.

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

I have a 2 week old Sound Bar with a similar issue as well. It emits a high-pitch (electrical) whine on stand-by. No firmware updates or results in Google yet. Just your post. May call Samsung before I return it to Best Buy.

I installed my sound bar through my bluray player. I don't know if you're trying to plug in from your tv or what, but the sound should come from whatever is actually playing the media.

i too had the same problem when i first connect it to the tv, the very extreme shaking. i blindly set my xbox one to 720p via pictures i found online. the converter will output in the resolution the xbox is set to.

I assume that your problem is related to the RCA audio output. I never experienced the problem you are having. My system switches between hdmi inputs from a comcast hdmi box, an inexpensive blu ray disc player, and an apple mac book pro. I did notice that that the inexpensive blu ray disc player hdmi connection to the switch and then via the analog audio interface to my audio mixer system caused a speaker hiss which I didn't get with my other components. I rewired my system to have the blu ray disc's audio go directly to my audio mixer system and that fixed the speaker hiss problem.

Perhaps your sound bar is defective? Have had no issue in connecting my TV to the sound bar using basic RCA cables.

Optical cable from your PS3 to the system my friend and that'll solve your problem. Just make sure you shut off the sound coming from the TV in your TVs menu.

I bought one of those audio cables with the red and white tips, cost me about 8 bucks. Its been a while since I used it but if I remember correctly the sound only came out of the front 3 speakers via this method if thT IS problem for you. Hope this helped.

Mine, too, made a loud pop every time I turned it on. However, it was working otherwise until it lost connection to the subwoofer and started making the clicking (or popping) noise every second or so. None of my ideas for addressing the problem worked except for returning the unit to Amazon, which I am doing.

Update, I just tried it while playing the ps3 and muted it and there was definitely the same noise. Maybe a bad PSU? Any input would be very appreciated.

This is only a problem if you are using the TV's internal receiver. Most people use an external device, such as a cable box, DVD player, or AV receiver - then output the signal to the TV. If you do this, you can send the audio output from the external device directly to your soundbar.

Happens whenever I transition to a game. I get very brief signal error and then I hear that fart sound as you describe. I just ignore it since it doesn't seem to be causing problems otherwise. By the way, I am not using the soundbar. I get this same thing with the PS3 being connected directly to the Samsung TV. How do you like the soundbar otherwise? I am looking to get something that makes hearing dialog on movies and TV better. No matter how much I adjust the levels on the TV I can't get it quite right.

Sounds like you received a defective cable. I would exchange it for a new one.

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!

I think it's the optical cable that comes with this sound bar. I changed it out with another optical cable that is thicker and I no longer have this problem.

I would try changing the digital cable that connects your sound bar to the tv, cause if that cable is intermittently failing the sound bar won't getting any signal from the tv and will shut off thinking its not being use..
