PS3 Clicking Noise

When using a HDMI cable, and playing PS3 games, the only audio present is a very loud clicking noise, coming through the speakers of the TV. Everything was working fine until about 2 months ago. I didn't change a thing, but we did have a power outage. Since then, I've tried using component cables, playing PS2 and PS3 games with both the HDMI and the components, playing movies (DVD and BluRay), but the only time the clicking sound is present is when it's a PS3 game, and using the HDMI cable. In all other scenarios, the sound is fine.

Go to audio options, and manually DE-select Digital 5.1. That should fix it. It did for me.

Sound issues when connected to PS3 with HDMI

I don't think you can hook a PS3 to 350W projector. You are maxing out the PS3 output. Good luck with it

Using HDMI cant get video from ps3

Check your ps3's audio settings. They come under the settings tab, 7th from the top i guess, not sure. Just play around with the settings until you think the sound problem is fixed.

When playing a game or dvd, my Playstation makes a ticking sound like somethings jammed in it. It's possible my daughter stuck something in there and messed something up. It'll play and as time goes on the...

PS3 Clicking noise is associated with the hardware aspect, so that's your starting point it may come from the PS3 fan clicking, so do check out the fan if there's something that might have got stucked in between. Clogs from too much dust or dirt may also cause PS3 clicking sound.

PS3 clicking noise may also come from the hard drive. The hard drive are a bit noisy because of the mechanical parts and moving drive head when reading and storing data. Again, if the noise level is very minimal, there's no worry. PS clicking noise fro the hard drive that becomes too audible may signify that the hard drive is having mechanical problems and may soon broke down. At this point you may want to backup any data you have



I hope this helps you.

Denon AVR 2106 clicking noise

I like when a user is observant and curious. That will help immensely in resolving this problem.

What source(s) are always involved with the problem?

You imply it is observable with output video to the TV - "only when there is movement on my tv screen and it stops in still screen". That sounds like a digital pathway problem of some sort as any data errors would eventually escalate to something audible or visible to you once the hardware and correction algorhythms are exhausted. The clicking inside the receiver could be its efforts to resynchronize with a bad data stream. Hence, I'd like you to isolate the ins and outs that fail all the time and find the probable single source of the problem.

Try this: put a digital source on and select/deselect it for listening or viewing. Does it make the click in that brief time it's 'thinking' before you hear the source? That would be the 'normal' sound. My Pioneer does it once per source switch. Repeated clicking would mean it's struggling.

I'm betting you have an optical or hdmi cable that's flaky or not in tight and straight. Or, if only one extternal source is involved we follow that back.

Unable to get ps3 to play when hooked to receiver

The audio inputs on the receiver need to be set to receive the Optical signal on the switch you set the ps3 to. ie Game, DVD, AUX. Each switch needs to be set to receive the audio signal coming into it. Usually on the remotes setup feature.

Hd tv but no hdmi plugin,standard red,white yellow plug...when there is a loud noise (explosion,dino roaring etc)I get a loud crackling noise from speakers that actually drowns out the sound fx on a ps3...

Sounds like more of a tv speaker problem then your ps3. You can change the audio settings on the XMB dashboard of your ps3. I think they are default at max.
