The VU+ Solo2 tuner has a very annoying noise under the regular channel's audio

[mistervela]

When I'm watching any channel I can hear a very annoying noise coming from the VU+ Solo2 Receiver.

At first I thought it was a poor signal for that specific channel, I checked the channel reception levels and the quality of
the image was perfect, then I zapped to a couple of channels with no reception, with a blank/black screen and
sure enough I could hear just that noise. And if I would open up the menu and select and open up different settings windows
from the menu the noise would change according to the -I guess- size of the window. So the noise is definitely attached
only to the box/GUI, not to the signal. I thought it could have been also the theme/image so I installed Blackhole, openPLI, openVIX
and the noise was always present in any image.

In other words I think the GUI is producing some audio frequency that it is not being filtered by the device,
this is very annoying when watching TV because you have to turn up the volume to minimize the noise effect
but at night this is impossible especially if you're living with more people.

I don't know if this is happening in the other boxes, I have the Solo2 so I can only speak for that one.

Please advise if there is something to be done (maybe a magical potentiometer inside the box)

How is the receiver connected to the tv?

Is the sound coming from the actual box or from the TV? If you turn up the volume are you using the TV controls or the box audio setting? If the noise is from the box it could be from the hard drive (if fitted) or from the fan. Otherwise you could try turning up the audio setting on the box and reducing the audio on the TV. It could be noise induced on the cables depending on how the connection to the TV is made.
