Static in speaker channel on my Samsung Surround Sound system

The front right speaker channel on my Samsung HT-AS720ST Theater System has continuous static making a "snap, crackle, and pop" noise. I've checked the speaker and wire and have narrowed it down to the channel. Is there anything that I can do internally to alleviate this issue without having to send the unit off for 3-6 weeks to Samsung?

    I'd like to know where you guys live. Because here in California, these chumps won't touch anything for less than $75 an hour.

Our started cracking and popping this morning. It seems from all the posts that it is always the right front speaker. With that kind of trend it can be traced back to mfg. Is there a recall, are they covering the cost?

    This is not a solution!

    Mine did the exact same thing with the right speaker crackling and popping, and now the treble has gone down, the bass is ok but the treble is low so it's mostly bass no matter how low I turn the bass down or how high I turn the treble up! I called Samsung and they won't do anything about it unless it's still under warranty which is pathetic that they make something that cost that much and that model has had the same issue with so many people that bought it but yet they will not take responsibility and fix or replace it, I will never buy another samsung product ever and I will persuade anyone I can to do that same!!!

This is a common problem on this model. The fault is caused by the PULSUS PS9829B digital audio processor. We ordered it in from a Samsung authorized service centre. If you have never tried working with surface-mount ICs I would skip it if I were you. This IC has over 100 pins on it. Print out this solution and bring it with your receiver into a service centre. If they can do surface-mount work they can repair this fault.

We have a samsung AVR 720 receiver we only get sound on one channel and that goes out intermitantly.

Disconnect all wires to the receiver and speakers and connect them back again. The receiver should be on a surround or 5.1 mode

Static coming from the front right speaker. Sound now fades in and out, unit is only 2 years old.

I had this same issue about a year after I bought the product. Sent it back under warranty and about a year later, I have the exact same issue again. Never buying samsung receivers again.

My HT-Z310 surround sound says protect

The amplifier has a bad channel, the power supply is bad, or the amplifier is drawing too much power.The speakers could also be wrong, if they are not the speakers that came ith th unit, they will need to be replaced. (Any speakers within the specs of the amplifier will work, so to that end the system is customizable. You can go to Samsung.com to find the amplifier's wattage per channel, but the speakers you get MUST be 3 ohms impedance.) I have an article/tip/how-to as to wiring multiple speakers to one channel.

IF it is out of warranty, you can open it up and look for loose connectors on the boards. It may be a poor connection that is visible. Otherwise it may be a connection problem that is hidden/internal. Bad solder connection on the board/speaker tabs, etc.

Problem is now solved. Unit works perfectly. If you have never tried working with surface-mount ICs I would skip it if I were you. This IC has over 100 pins on it. However the part is available from Samsung. Print this comment and take it to your locat service centre along with your receiver. They should be able to repair the board unless they are wussies and cannot do surface-mount work.

System is samsung HT-TWZ415. all speakers work, not the sub

Check all of your connections, and make sure all cords are firmly connected.
Make sure if the subwoofer has a power switch, it is on, and if not, that it is likely to be faulty.
