    Setting my TV output to PCM got rid of the crackle for me - it was auto before and the other options was Dolby D. Vizio M65 2016 directly connected to the soundbar.

    That's not a good solution, doing that will disable surround sound for your system which you want considering netflix has DD 5.1 sound encoding

    Anyway, I believe this issue was already resolved? I don't have any crackling listening from netflix and I'm using bitstream - dolby digital 5.1 for the sound output on the samsung tv

    Let me try with output set to DD and see if the crackle comes back.
