I just upgraded from .24 to .26 and installed a new GT430.  One of these changes compounded a problem with recordings from my local CW affiliate.  Recordings from this QAM HDHR Comcast Cable Channel have the occasional pops or noise blip. I'm thinking the audio stream gets a localized corruption or looses a clock signal.  This happened with with .24 and my old GT240 but they were shorter and less scary.  Now it feels like they are going to blow out the house.  I thought they destroyed my speakers last night. These are short blasts with correct audio before and correct audio after.

I used to have a similar problem with a GT220, GT430 and now GT640, it's common with Onkyo, if you google Onkyo & PS3 click and pop you will see it's common. There was a firmware update for my amp to reduce it but I upgraded to a Yamaha, solved the problem that way.

If I remember correctly running without ac3 bitstream greatly reduced the problem, let mythtv decode the ac3.
