Hi,
This is has been driving me insane for about a month now, but I've been receiving random static on my home theater speakers. Before I go any further, this is how my system is setup:
TV: Vizio P702ui-b3
Receiver: Sony STR DN1050
Speakers: Definitive Technology 8040BP (towers and center channel)
Misc. Devices: PS4, Xbox One and Arris receiver (TWC)
If I turn off all my devices and unplug all the inputs from the receiver, I am still getting random static on my speakers even when nothing is playing. Not sure how else to explain it but it sounds like a surge and the static comes and goes.
I ended up buying a power outlet tester, plugged it into all the outlets in my house and all of them are grounded and wired properly.
Coincidentally, all of this started happening after TWC came out for the TV install. I had internet only for about a year with them and didn't have any issues with my home theater. I decided to check the grounding from outside of my house and the coax is grounded to my electrical panel (not sure if it needs to be grounded differently but it looks correct to me). I even unplugged the coax from the splitter, outside of the house, (coax is still going to one of my rooms for the internet. home theater is in the living room) and I still got static.
Not sure what else to try at this point but I'm at the point where I want to sell off the system and just run the audio off my tv :(
