Ipod USB cable noise

FPO · 06-14-2011, 04:31 PM

Guys,

I have a really weird popping sound coming from my speakers whilst playing my iphone/ipod through my USB.

I have tried changing the cable but it still keeps reoccurring.

Sort of the like the sound you get from rice krispies

Anyone have any idea why this is and how I can solve it?

Have you tried playing it through a docking station elsewhere to make sure the i phone isn't at fault. Also see if playback via the jack plug alone is OK. Finally, I would pop a couple of songs on a USB stick and see if that plays OK.

None of these will 'solve' the problem, but may help confirm the source of the problem.

Yeah its used quite a lot on loads of different sources and no problems there, although havent used aux plug. Will try it later.

Ill try the usb stick option to see whether there may just be a loose connection on the usb port. Everything else audio wise in the car is fine, e.g. radio, dvd, nav etc.

Seems to mainly occur on lower quality songs. However can vary.
