Z-5500 making weird sounds

[Admiral_Cecil]

Haro,

My Z-5500 subwoofer makes intermintent "poof" sound when idle. It only goes away when the system is Mute/ or Off -and- when sound is being played.

Also, the speakers randomly give off a "click" sound.

Is there a way to solve this problem?

If its not your soundcard, then send em back... Sounds like the amp is having a fit.

Spyware or high cpu utilization from background programs could also do it.
