Cracking or Poping in speakers

by fireguy32 Jan 8, 2008 9:36PM PST

Hey guys, need some guidance from you experts out there, I have polk audio rt1000 speakers and a tx-sr701q onkyo thx reciever with a panamax m5100-ex home theater power conditioner (among other equipment). I randomly get snapping in the speakers as I am watching a program and I dunno if its my speakers, reciever, or power conditioner. What do you think? this has only started about a month ago....

Check for your wireless network cards that are in your presence. I had D-Link DI-624 wlan router. It was making my 4.1 surround sound go cracking while they are on.
