Question by souschefLCD: What is causing the “popping” (and or) “muted sound” coming from my brand new Vizio LCD 32″ HDTV!?!?!
I own a brand new Vizio 32″ LCD HDTV.
My cable provider is Time Warner.
The “popping”/”muted sound” is in and then out in a split second and is very annoying. It happens on both analog and high definition channels. The sound is much more apparent and abrupt on ESPN (during games).
Is this a problem with connectivity/TV/or signal input from service provider?
It is very annoying and I am afraid it is is going to ruin the TV/speakers.
PLEASE HELP!

Bummer. I would check all of the connection wires end to end for extreme crinks (or signs of crinking) and separation at the connectors. If it all looks good, and all of the connections are tight I think your speakers might be defective. Some retailers will handle the issue for your, either taking in the set for repair or replacing it for you. Others require you to contact the local servicing center for the brand, which could be miles away. They may offer to pay for shipping or reimburse for shipping depending on what they determine the problem to be (theirs or yours, basically).
