Audio behaving erratically on iPhone 7

Hi,

i am having issues when listening to music through Spotify, listening to a podcast through the Podcasts app or watching a video on Facebook.

The sound sometimes stops, goes at chipmunk speed or even starts playing something in an I don’t have open or a song I haven’t chosen in a different app that is open.

It seems to only happen when i have headphones in.

i have the latest software update.

Audio Skipping and Distortion IS ANYONE ELSE HAVING SIGNIFICANT AUDIO SKIPPING INTERMITTENTLY ON NEW IPHONE? The new iPhone 14 Pro Max on the latest 16.1.1 is still intermittently skipping and distorting audio after factory resetting. It happens on Bluetooth, hardwired, and on several Apple and non-Apple audio apps (most notably with music). It also happens on several different headphone types and speakers. The Apple Store diagnostics show no issues on their scans and yet the phone keeps glitching. It makes phone audio unusable due to the constant distraction and poor quality. This appears to be a hardware issue as it happens without iCloud restores as well and happens if the content is downloaded or streamed. I have been asking for a replacement for weeks now and they keep telling me to call different support teams. This is extremely frustrating. Here’s a post from 2 years ago with similar issues that was not resolved: Audio skipping - Apple Community Two more examples 5 years ago both unresolved: 1) Music skipping on iPhone - Apple Community 2) iOS 11.3.1 update, skipping audio - Apple Community Wow, another similar 7 years ago: Bluetooth Audio Skipping - Apple Community
