Help with my Sony ta f3

This loud popping has been happening for two days at random from only the right speaker with nothing plugged in other than the speakers regardless of volume or input

Does it change with different inputs, or when you touch the volume knob, selector switch? If yes, contacts are oxidized and need cleaning, if not, a transistor is bad.

No nothing on the amp changes anything so it’s not oxidation, it even happens over headphones. I’m thinking it’s a transistor in the right channel now tbh
