Was just doing a little browsing to see if this was a common occurrence with the UMC-1 although did not see it posted, but came across it it on AVS forums.

Interesting, I’m having similar issues, most noticeably when browsing using the Apple TV2 although it’s present with CDs when changing tracks or pausing.
Basically there is a low thump from the surrounds (maybe the fronts also as it comes across more as a click when using my head-amp from Zone 2 or mix out), happens whether the UMC-1 is in stereo, direct or multi-channel mode, with the ATV2 it happens just after choosing a selection, with CDs when changing tracks or pausing, same with using the BDP, it's as if when no audio is present for a second or so the UMC-1 mutes then un-mutes with a low thump.
No EMO-Q or Dolby volume turned on
Thought maybe it was just a quirk with the UMC-1 but it does get bothering after a while, thump, change, thump, pause, thump, play, thump…..etc..etc, but if it is not common then............, but I'll wait for few more to chime in.
And no your not a faker Jeff.

I could not find a NEW direct thread on this very topic.
From everything I have read here and on EMOTIVA-LOUNGE it seems that EMOTIVA just keeps shipping replacement units?
The complaints of the POPPING problem goes back many FW versions ago.. but still doesn't seem to be solved.
I am using a UMC-1 just purchased FW 07.04.00.19
I am having 2 very specific issues that seem to be discussed in prior OLD posts about the UMC-1
But which I do not believe have been addressed yet by EMOTIVA.
Also, with EMOTIVA knowing these issues existed, I am shocked they SOLD IT TO ME without warning me first.. by the way. OUR PRE AMP has some serious bugs.
#1. When playing audio into the CABLE/SAT box and applying any of the processors like NEO:6 I periodically get LOUD POPS or STATIC out of the BACK SURROUND SPEAKERS. . I did not have this problem with My Onkyo or Marantz
#2. The Subwoofer periodically CLICKS or puts out some static. Basically if I have no music playing the subwoofer makes this pop sound periodically. When I turn the UMC-1 OFF, the pops stop.
My concern is they think that by TRICKING people into purchasing the UMC-1 with the discount card for the XMC-1 that we should be happy even if the equipment doesn't work. That is NOT TRUE. I expect the UMC-1 to work at a basic level. And I an promise EMOTIVA that is they can't make the UMC-1 WORK, there is no way they are getting more money for the XMC-1
My equipment is
UMC-1 (tried to use NEO and DTS but scares my with LOUD POPS)
OPPO 93 (USING 7.1 EXT IN, to avoid all processing in the UMC 1 since the loud POPS may damage my speakers).
Velodyne DD 15 SW
Aerial 10T fronts
PSB Center and surround speakers.
