Ps3 help. (non mtg related)

So I just recently bought a ps3 and I'm using a hdmi cord. About every 30 minutes to an hour there is a static or crackling sound that comes up til I go the the system sound settings or I unplug the cord from my tv and plug it back in. I googled the problem and those where some of the solutions. Another solution was to try a better hdmi cord so I bought a new one for $63 and i still hear the sound every 30 minutes or so. I really don't want to spent another (insert stupid amount of $$$ here) just to enjoy my games or movies. I was wondering if anyone here has had the same problem and knew what to do. I am willing to buy another cord I just want to know that it will work.

Air dust out the ports on both the tv and console? And make sure all your settings are correct.

An hdmi cord is an hdmi cord. The more expensive ones aren't any better so don't waste your money. What are you actually doing when this sound occurs?

Is it on a carpet?  Is there a problem with the ground on the outlet?  Are you using power bars/extension cables? ⚡⚡⚡

Sound settings are on the most basic settings right now. I'll air dust it when I can.

Playin a game on disc, one I downloaded or watching blu ray.

It is on my tv stand. And the hdmi cord is directly from ps3 to tv, and the ps3 I believe is plugged into an power bar.

Hmm. My best guess is that it has to do with the sound settings. I'd compare the tv settings to the ps3 settings to see if there are any descrepencies.

I'll look more into the settings.

Try a different hdmi input if possible and test. Try a different method of connecting it to your tv, (maybe composite?) if possible and test again. Try a different outlet (run an extensnon cord) and test. The point is make a change and test it out.

Forget what I wrote... Google is your friend.
From what I read you have a bad PS3. Hope you bought it new and have the receipt. Good luck.

Both imputs make the noise. And I did buy it new. I'm going to try a few more things. Last time I watched firefly on it it wasn't as loud. But if I can't fix it by the end if this week I'm going to find a number to call an actual person at Sony.

Good luck man. Kick ass and take names.

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?
