There have been many complaints with regards to "popping" sounds when listening to HD audio tracks. I just read this post on the net and thought it was interesting enough to post. Maybe it will help?
I live in a dry climate that is responsible for causing static electricity to build up on this DVD player, and many other electronic devices in my home, though not all of them. This "static charge" resulted in very loud audio "pops" sometimes during the power up cycle and sometimes during play back and using DVD functions, like skipping forward to the next chapter on DVD's. Samsung Tech Support wanted me to send the unit back to them to "check" for problems. I rejected this idea and found out that attaching a small "ground" wire to the rear of the case fixed this "audio pop" issue. Tech Support does not have a clue. I have reported this "fix".
I copied and it lost what site it was on but you can google that quote if you want and you should be able to find it.

All kinds of strange things can cause audio pops. Sometimes (most often, in fact) it's just a piece of lint on the disc surface. Sometimes it's caused by one's receiver. Some of the Onkyo receivers (my 705, for instance) would emit loud, speaker-damaging pops from certain DTS-encoded discs (a firmware upgrade solved this). Some Denon and Onkyo receivers would pop softly when you took them out of "Pause." Audio is goofy.
Check AVS for the problem. Odds are that if you have experienced it, someone else has, too, and reported it at one of the AVS Forums, where it's been thoroughly discussed.

I thought it was interesting that he grounded his bluray player and it fixed the problem for him. Then again he may have cleaned the disc surface and not realized that's what solved the issue. :p Who knows.

ELECTRICITY! (it is so unpredictable)
bad power=mess.
or....your reciever/prepro/speaker combo may not agree with eachother.
(example: speakers drawing too much current. amp cannot supply current due to own restrictions or bad power, POP!)
