Description
Most evenings I watch Ch4 News and throughout this programme there are audible pops and clicks. They also occur during the Weather immediately after, but then stop and I've never heard them on any other programme on Ch4 or any other channel.

When I first noticed it some months ago I assumed they were probably having some equipment problems on the show/channel, but as it's still happening it's clearly something at my end. I tried reducing the volume in ffdshow in case this programme was clipping for some reason, but that didn't help.

Is there anyone else in the UK who watches this programme and uses PDVD12 for video and ffdshow for audio, who can tell me if they have the same problem? In fact, I played a recording of this show on my other PC in MPC-HC, which used the MPC Audio Decoder, and could hear the pops and clicks still, so I don't think it can be a problem with ffdshow but seems to be encoded into the recording.

I uploaded some logs to https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/attachments/mediaportallogs_18_06_12__21_02-zip.105847/

I've also got recordings I can edit to upload a clip if that would be useful.

Steps to Reproduce:
Watch Ch4 News.

    No problems here, but I just use LAV filters for everything.

    Are you using your 2TB Samsung drive for timeshifting? I have one of these drives and find that it isn't fast enough. I know it should be, but I saw very poor channel changes and starting of recordings, so I swapped back to a 7200 rpm drive for timeshifting/recording.
