Hello,

I have a Powernode 2025 and recently started noticing a popping noise from the subwoofer when switching between songs with different bit rates. The issue persists even when the subwoofer is disabled in the audio settings. However, if I completely cut power to the subwoofer, the popping noise disappears when changing tracks.

I purchased the Powernode 2025 at launch and did not experience this behavior initially. The problem has only appeared within the last month, which leads me to suspect it may be related to a recent firmware update.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Digital audio playback should transition silently, so this behavior is concerning and quite frustrating.

Thanks,

Patrick
