Problem with my head unit. Popping sound...

[Bburchett1]

Anyone ever heard a deck do this? I changed the ground wire thinking that it would help but it didn't. Any ideas?

It's making a constant popping sound when playing music. I recorded it so you can hear...

Try hitting the RESET button on the HU/Head Unit to see if that makes any changes first..Re-tune all your settings. You can use a tooth-pick or paper clip to hit the reset button. Hold down and count to 6-10 seconds and release to reset..with Power On

Also, it never used to do this, my car sat for about 2 months then I started driving it again and noticed it.

That popping you hear in the video is not the beat of the music, it's the popping I'm talking about. Notice when I turn the volume to zero it stops... Then starts again soon as I turn it back up. It also doesn't do it all the time. But always after 3-5 minutes of playing.

Do you have an amplifier hooked up to the HU?

Not currently. Still have my RCA's plugged into it but I pulled my subs and amp out.

I bought it new back in September 2017. It worked fine when I got it.
