Speaker noise

[Zer0K3wL]

If got 1 speaker thats sometimes makes odd noises before i thought wire was not thick enough.

now its 4mm2 thick aka 6 gauge i think which defiantly overkill.

but still has't reduced if also swapped bookies its seems to be comming from receiver.

Speaker distances are something like

left 2.70m level -2
center 2.40m level -1
right 2.40m level -2
surround right 0.90m level -2
surround left 1.80m level +1
subwoofer 3.00mm level -1

Its not totaly anoying me but with DD streams where rears not used always i hear it a lot.
i especialy hear it when their barely sound or no sound comming from rear.

if got it with every device asswell kindy wish this was hdmi issue but its not

receiver is a onkyo tx-nr609 silver

Speakers don't make noise on their own. They only reproduce what's sent to them.

Since you say it hapens with all sources, it's the receiver.

sudden shutdowns does that mean receiver shuts off or only sound shut off for a little while ?

because if had times when playing movie it sudenly stop then resuming 1 2 sec later on.

 

[Zer0K3wL]

I just checked your receiver does not need this update it say's i guess its somewhere along the cable or receiver aka dirty plug.

Its also only 1 speaker doing it and its not that loud when i made speaker cable before less long it did help a lot.

i just cant understand how my other rear channel does't do it and has also 10 meter cable off same quality

 

[markw]

Switch speaker cables and speakers. See if the problem follows them or stays where it is.

 

[Zer0K3wL]

switched that already when i bought new cable.
first i shortend it made it less then switched speakers still same area

then i bought new cable and left it 10 meters long.

the one with issues i could shorten least 1 meter probably.

if it does help i did purchase my onkyo late febuari 2012

also the noise only hear it if i sit in corner next to it its not audible unless i'm sitting close dont known if its supose to be dead silent tough my other rear is dead silent if its supose be silent i think.

 

[Zer0K3wL]

My receiver sudenly shut down no reason at all wtf first time also that this happend while playing music from pc.

recently i checked this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCEFg-KTRlQ&feature=g-upl

I swapped speakers still left speaker did that and only in this game also if i turned off the receiver sound be passed through to tv i still hear this disortion asswell.

Is perhaps receiver faulty or this issue unrelated ?

 

[markw]

If yu switched the cables and the speakers and the problem remainedl on the same side, it's your receiver. Not much else I can say.

IIWY, at this point, since it's under warranty, I'd be talking to Onkyo instead of crying to us monkeys.

The ball is in your court.
