These clicks happen at the beginning of every track and are directly related to the volume of the soundbar, the louder the soundbar the louder the clicks, so now I have to put my phone on max with the speaker lower so the clicks arent as noticeable, but this means I can only lower the volume from my phone. With the soundbar turned up and my phone turned way down I can barely hear the music, but between songs the clicks are so loud. Any ideas what's going on?

    The procedure I use when using my phone as a source is to turn the volume up on the phone all the way, or one notch from all the way. Then, I start out low on the speaker/amplifier or whatever I'm using and increase it until it's at the listening level that I want. This method of having your source at max, or close to it, will be the best way to preserve your s/n ratio and result in the best possible sound.

    I suggest trying this method and controlling your volume via the soundbar. Hopefully as a result, you won't hear the clicking any more.

    I figured out that it only happens with my android phone and not with my windows media player off the computer. I feel better knowing it's not an issue with the speaker!
