Audio issue with SCART cable

NicoDarko -

Hello,
I have a sound issue with my Schneider SDV 439 DVD player. There are imperfections, a sort of faint growling in the background, very slight but enough to be annoying.
It apparently comes from the Scart connection... because I connected it with three cables (digital, three colors, I don't know what that's called) and there was no more problem (but the picture is worse).

It doesn't come from the scarts either, since I've tried three different ones... so I'm wondering if it comes from the Scart socket on the TV or from the one on the DVD player... it's very difficult to tell, since the problem doesn't show up right away.

Do you have any idea what the cause might be?

Thank you.

It must be a problem with the settings of your player.

Well, in terms of audio, there's not much.

Digital output: off, PCM, all (I've set it to all)
Night mode: off
Subsampling: on

I don't see what other settings there are.

Are there any interruptions?

No, it's just some grrrrr in the background sound, at certain moments.

I think it's the noise of your decoder if you have one anyway.

No, I don't have any.

The noise is definitely coming from the movie; I've played several DVDs and it's the same, as if there's a bad connection.
I should try with another DVD player to see if it's coming from my TV, but that's not really possible right now.

In this case, it could be the reader or maybe even the TV settings.

I don’t know. I didn’t have a problem with the other player, but it wasn’t connected via SCART.

Is it possible that the SCART socket of the TV got damaged? Because the DVD player is new, so...

you may have plugged in the socket incorrectly

Lol, no, I still checked, and I've changed the cords three times this week... so I only see the possibility that the TV socket is damaged, or the one for the player, but that's more surprising.

Yes, there are chances.

Ok, I'll try with another reader next time... but it surprises me because I haven't really touched this socket since I've had this TV, and it would have damaged itself on its own...

Have you solved your problem? Because I have exactly the same thing. When I connect my DVD player to my sound system, I no longer have that kind of buzzing noise sometimes. I think it comes from the SCART cables because I have the same issue with TV shows when I watch them with my TNT decoder. Likewise, if I connect the TNT decoder to the sound system, there’s no more hissing or buzzing noise.
