Sound is okay watching tv on hdtv - but crackles with dvd playing

Make sure the audio inputs are on the same input as the video cable.

May I assume you're not trying to watch the movie on a cooktop?

On what device are you trying to watch the movie? From a DVD, or streaming from some website?

have you tried any of the internal audio option within the players on screen menu's perhaps it got switched to a digital output in there somehow instead of the hdmi your needing to use

on some dvd players and surround sound systems have a thing called DRC (dynamic range compression) you can us that and it will help it a little. i have come across the same problem but im after a digital on to run with plex or vlc on a mac. im having to route it through protools to use a compressor on there, but thats eating my resources.

Did you ever figure out the problem? Mine just started doing the same. Can you email me at BrianLatch @ msn.com spaced for SPAM.

I suspect if you are using the DVD to play via a Scart connector , then the problem is simply that the Scart cable has became a bit slack. Try taking the Scart out of the rear connections from the DVD & the TV & then just pushing them back in again to make sure they have a good contact.

check your scart male connecter ends are pushed all the way in.

You need a audio cable for sound. HDMI cable is only for picture. I use the comp 1 plugs myself, better picture. I found with my TV that the HDMI cable is only good if you have a digital box for it. You can also use the plug to hook your computer to off your graphics card and watch downloaded movies on.

I call a tech in. It could be quite a few issues.
