Ps3 help. (non mtg related)

Ok so I'm pretty sure that it is my tv. Had my ps3 hooked up to my roommates new tv in the living for a few days and no static sound. Finally was motivated to hook it back up to mine and the noise popped up at about 30 minutes in.

I want to say thank you for everyone's help as well.

How old is the tv? Make and model?

I got it for Christmas I think 2 years ago. It is a 21inch Visio 1080p led. It has 2hdmi ports. Both ports make the sound when I play my playstaion but I don't remember it making that sound for my Xbox. I was going to try my Xbox tonight to see.

I have a feeling it's a grounding problem with your power bar and your ps3 is building up a static charge.
Grounding could also be a problem with the tv too, hard to say from here.

What would I do to fix that?

Just played on my x box for 3 hours and no static/crackling sound.

Try just plugging the ps3 directly into the outlet. As jester said it could possibly be the power strip

I have my ps3 plugged into an outlet with nothing else. And it has started agian. I have had it in the living room for a while, and I just put it back in my room.  I may put it back in the living room until I get a new tv that I've been wanting.

Well after I had the game paused for a little bit it stopped making the sound and I've been playing for a little bit. So I don't know. It's late. Got little sleep over the weekend and have to be up for work in about 6 hours. I'll figure out something tomorrow.

Edit:
I'll figure it out Tuesday since I'm going to the midnight lunch of Dishonored and I'm picking it up 45 minutes away from my house. I see another not so good work week up ahead. Oh well worth it.

Use sick days

Nah. I can hadle it. Today was actually a really good day.

Oh yeah I put in boondock saints to fall asleep to and before I was asleep the sound came back so I have no clue wtf is up. Probably just wait til new tv.
