Hi,

I had a very similar problem as you.

I have a Samsung DLP, and the TV speakers went out (i.e. static sound), even when the volume was at 0.

It was very frustrating, as I couldn't quieten the Samsung TV, and had my
PS3 connected to my receiver with HDMI, so the static from the TV could be heard along with the sound out of the speakers.

After much talking on the phone with Samsung, they sent a guy out to my house who DISABLED the speakers in the TV. Now they don't produce any static, nor do they produce any sound at all (even if i crank them up). I was fine with that. I don't want TV volume.

I don't know if your problem is the same as mine ( I had DLP, yours is LCD), but it sounds very similar. Maybe call Samsung and tell them whats going on? Consider having someone come out and either fix the speakers or, if no other option is available, disable them (as i did).

good luck.

EDIT:
consider these things:
-does the TV produce static (with volume at "0") when you have cable on? when you have all other inputs on? in my case it did. this indicated that the static sound wasn't caused by the blu-ray player, but the TV was doing it alone.
-if the TV only produces the static sound when hooked up to the blu-ray player, it may be caused by some interaction with the blu-ray player, in which case, i can't help, sorry.
-FYI, the guy only took 15-20 min to disable the speakers, it was real quick
