Anyone have tips for fixing clicking audio?

My fire is connected HDMI, should I try optical? Some movies and shows have clicking audio.

Make sure in the FireTV settings you have audio set to Automatic instead of HDMI. Solved some issues for me.

This worked on the video that was giving the problem last night. Solid, thanks!

In XBMC?

A static click or pop may be heard when opening a Dolby Digital file in Gotham. One workaround is to turn off NAVIGATION SOUNDS (Settings > Appearance > Skin) andKEEP AUDIO DEVICE ALIVE (Settings > System > Audio Output). NOTE: This may cause playback issues with DTS-HD or TrueHD files.

I don't have the issue. Maybe try a factory reset :(

Try optical, try changing HDMI cables, try changing HDMI ports, update your receiver firmware if applicable, or exchange the FireTV.

I think this also has to do with the dolby settings. I usually have mine hoked up via spdif through my receiver but on the off chance I increase my tv volume I get some clicking, but only on videos with an multi channel audio track.
