Did a search here - and on the audio forum - didn't really find anything. And I'm not sure if I should post this here or on the audio forum, but thought I'd try here first.
I just had my Comcast digital STB replaced with a Motorola DCT6200 HDTV STB. It is connected to my Toshiba 46H83 TV via component cables and the audio is connected to my Rotel A/V receiver via an optical/Toslink cable. I am getting an annoying clicking/popping noise from all of my speakers; the noise occurs every few seconds. With my old STB, connected to my A/V receiver via composite cables, (the best connections offered by the old box) I had no such problem.
Is this being caused by the Comcast provided - possibly cheap - optical cable? I don't want to spend $80 or so on a replacement cable only to find that all I needed to do was change some setting on my receiver.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Edit - I did a little more checking - this clicking noise does not occur when I am watching HD broadcasts, just when I am watching SD broadcasts...I would say this must mean that the optical cable is O.K...
