I don't get anything like that via HDMI on my PS3. Check your cabling. Might be a bad cable. Either that or your TV or receiver is just bad at handling HDMI handshaking.

It makes like a ripple sound in the speakers...when you put the game in and it goes blank and shows hdmi1 in the corner then the ripple then the game starts up...maybe i have something plugged in wrong??? or settings wrong somewhere?

This tv isnt a year old yet. Hope its ok and my ps3 isnt even a week old yet lol

How loud is the popping noise?

Also, your TV will switch between HD and non HD and that is what is producing the HDMI 1 in the corner of your screen. I'm sure there are more knowledgable people here that can explain it better, but that is normal. My TV does this.

its not really loud...but since everything is quiet at that moment you can hear it good...its kinda like either one pop...or poppopopop all together then the game comes on...it does it like right when the game is about to come in from the hdmi1 screen...thats all...just doesnt seem normal..wondering what could be the problem in fixing it.

The popping is the only thing that seems to be an issue. How loud do you keep your volume when you start your games?

I got it on 9 on volume...and it doesnt pop when i turn the game off and go back to the home screen....only when i put the game in and it goes from the home screen to the game...

and it says mode not supported right after it does the popping...then the game comes on
