Hopefully someone can give me some ideas on how to stop this from happening, but I will just randomly get white noise blasting from my speakers and generally it happens late at night when I'm already asleep. So yes...kinda creepy too(queue poltergeist jokes). It happened in the summer when I lived in Tempe, Arizona and it has also happened in the winter in Denver, Colorado so I don't think it's an overheating problem per-se. And it has happened on different source selections. Its happened four times in the year that I've had it so it's not something that happens often. But when it does happen it's extremely annoying. In terms of how the media area is set up, it's like this:
HTPC>Video: HDMI - Sound: 3.5mm to RCA converter
Xbox 360: Video: HDMI - Sound: Optical
L/R bookshelf speakers: bare wire to banana twist connectors
Receiver then runs HDMI to the TV
In terms of other electronics that are on the same shelf in case EMI may be an issue, there's a Linksys E3200 and a Scientific Atlanta modem.
Wires are semi decent in terms of organization and from what I can tell there's no breaks in the shielding, and connections are tight except for the HDMI cable from the video card which has a break near the mini HDMI portion as the video will go out for a moment if you bump it..
