Damn, I also have the popping. Started a thread today asking about it. Gonk, what should I do? I'm on my second 970, still have the no audio problem, popping, and noise coming from my tweeters.

I had before this an Onkyo that did everything right but was just 5.1. So I get the 970 and now I'm screwed.

Sorry, but I'm frustrated and feel like crap.
