This is interesting, I'm not saying this is or is not the problem, but when I had this ps3 hooked up to my old roommates surround sound there was no crackling. He only had the Yamaha 5.1 out of the box from bestbuy. But, I will look into this as well.

There was no crackling in the music to begin with so I'm not sure what this would accomplish. It only seems to happen on tv shows or movies. I went ahead and did it anyways and still no crackling. When I did this for a tv show there was no crackling that I noticed. I believe it is coming from...

I put the optical there because i thought i would need it for my tv to be on the surround sound. But I went in to my ps3 settings and messed with those. It wouldn't let me unchecked all the 2.0 sound options but it had the 5.1 options already checked. So I then checked ARC i think it was called...

Hey everyone, so I changed the setup to the following- ps3 to receiver hdmi, receiver out to tv with hdmi, tv to receiver with optical cable. But I'm still having the same issue, the only setting that uses all the speakers as if it were surround sound is the pro logic setting. The auto surround...

Well I hope the new hdmi cord fixes all the probs lol.. Thanks for everyone's help I'll post after I test the new cord.

Alright I'll have to go to the store tomorrow and pick up another hdmi cable, Ill post if this fixes the problem. Do you guys think for any reason this could fix the crackling I've been getting?

Ok so what setup would you suggest? One hdmi from ps3 to receiver then 1 hdmi from receiver to tv? Thanks for your help

I have my playstaion 3 hooked up to my TV with an HDMI cable, I then have my TV connected to my receiver by optical cable. Something else that I'm going to go ahead and mention is just within the past few days I've been getting these crackling sounds from my front speakers, that may include my...

Yes it does have an auto surround mode along with a couple different direct settings. I believe something is not right with with my receiver, in all honesty I have no idea what the problem might be. For example I just put in star trek on blu-ray, I tried my receiver on every setting it had. The...

Well, I believe the crackling comes from all the front speakers but I can't be sure. Like I said its mostly random when it happens so its hard to tell which speaker its coming from. It crackles when I'm using my playstion 3 for movies and games however when i use my iphone to play music over...

Hey everyone, like the title says I'm just curious what is the best setting for 5.1 surround sound for movies, games, and music. I have a Pioneer VSX-823-K. I currently have it set to pro-logic II movie, but I currently read somewhere that Pro logic is not "real" 5.1 it's meant to take none 5.1...

Hey everyone, so just recently my basically new 5.0 surround sound (haven't gotten the sub yet) has started crackling semi randomly. I say semi randomly, because the only time it seems to have a pattern is when there is yelling going on, in whatever is on the TV, the voice starts to crackle...

lol ok glad to hear it! And will do! thanks for your help!

True I think ill do that. But i started thinking, is my receiver even good enough to get the VTF-2 ? I'm not sure, I hope so, with all the good feed back I've been getting I'm set on getting the VTF-2 I posted another comment about this same thing but it did not show up, I assume that is due to...

True, I may have to do that. With that said I'm curious (being new to surround sound and all) how do i know that my current receiver can even handle or should i say get the VTF-2 to its full potential? Here is a link to my receiver i just bought let me know if I'm in the clear. Thanks once...

well sadly I do not think I will make it in time for that sale. I do not get paid for the next week, so got to spend my money wisely =D. I'm just getting a head start on my research. Thanks for your post!

Well I would think about doing 2 subs, but i believe my receiver can only do 5.1 surround sound. The 7.2 system was too expensive for me. Thanks for the idea though, I will keep that in mind for a potential future set up.

ok cool so how do the VTF-2 Mk4 and the SVS PB1000 compare? Pros vs cons?

Ok, my living room is 26ft * 13.5ft. Like i said not very big lol. With that said I will not always live here, like fuzz said, I can always dial something down. But you can only dial something up so much. Basically I want one sub that will last me a long time, even if i move into a place with a...

Hmmm I'm not sure its not the biggest, I can measure it if that would help.
