Earphones make a loud crackling static.

Recently after I updated to IpadOs14, my apple earphones started producing a very loud static noise when I shut down or restarted my Ipad while watching or listening to music. It was incredibly loud and I think my ears don’t exist anymore. Anyone know how to help?

Hello Aexar,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.


We understand that you are getting a loud static noise from your Apple Earbuds after updating your iPad to iPadOS 14.


First, do you have another headset or Earbuds that you can test with your iPad? If the issue occurs with a different headset or Earbuds, then if we could get you to update iPadOS on your iPad, the latest version as of today is iPadOS 14.0.1.


Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


If the issue continues, then take a look at the following support article to troubleshoot further:


If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker - Apple Support


If you are still hearing the static after this, then you will want to contact Apple Support for additional assistance for the issue.


Best regards.
