Alienware M17x HDMI audio static

I've discovered Star Trek Online does not seem to like audio output over HDMI after about 30 minutes of play. I seem to get horrible static and crackling sound which is not evident in Second Life nor playing audio through Winamp. I have a 4 month old Alienware M17x system from DELL which features an HDMI output port on the laptop. To which I have connected a Westinghouse 42" 1080p LCD TV and a Panasonic SA-PT770 surround sound system.

The HDMI cable I know is good, its the same cable I use with my Xbox 380 Elite console and swap with my Playstation 3 console. I'm just curious if anyone else out there has done something similar with STO and a HDMI connection to their TV and audio syste, and has experienced severe static.
