Crackling Noise During Music Playback after iOS 4.1 Update

Please tell me you were joking when you wrote "grad" instead of glad

Oh! Sorry, for my poor Japanese English! I meant "glad"... After being in UK for 10 years, I am shameful....

Add the Mazda factory stereo connection to this list as well, in addition to my Pioneer making it completely impossible to listen to an audiobook because the audio drops every third word, my friend's Mazda has the exact same symptoms. Really hoping this error is fixed on the next update.

Bump*
4.2 still not released, so no fixes out.

The update is apparently not due out until November.

I also am experiencing the issues on my Pioneer Elite SC-25 AV receiver using the Pioneer factory USB cable and the Apple supplied iPhone 4 cable most of the time it sounds like a vinyl record it crackles, skips and sometimes no sound at all the only way to get the sound back for me is to turn off the iPhone 4 and turn back on but the crackle still remains. I also have the same issues on my Kenwood KDC-X993 car deck when it's hardwired USB I also experience muffled distorted audio in addition to the rest on the Kenwood and the Bluetooth audio on the Kenwood skips and hesitates from the iPhone 4 and I am on the current iPhone 4.1 this is a serious issue I kind of thought playing music from it was the point? I guess not? using it as a phone with ATT is marginal at best so take away the iPod now whats left the web? I love Apple to death but they need to stop changing things that worked! If it works stop messing with it what's next new headphone jack that does not work with normal headphones? Please just fix the issue!!!

Possible solution!!!!! I turned off shake to shuffle and this issue is completely gone!!! It's been two weeks no more skipping for me.

That does not work for me I have always left that option off because it kept shuffling my playlist by any slight movement of the phone

My problem matches everyone else's, but with a little bit added. First, I should specify that this is ONLY when running through the multipin adapter through a USB plug. Headhphone jack does not do this. After a few hits of crackling sound as described by others, the audio signal cuts out entirely. I noticed two things though: First, although the audio signal doesn't play, the audio on the unit is still playing... that is, progressing through the track/podcast you were listening to. Second, if I toggle through the audio sources on my head unit (Pioneer DEH 7000 BT in a Toyota Corolla) and return to the USB source the signal is back. It will then stay for another 10 minutes or so, then repeat. It seems to repeat cutting out and going through that cycle in decreasing amounts of time until it gets to about 3 minutes... that is, playing for 3 minutes or so, then cutting out completely until I toggle through sources. This all started the day after the 4.1 update.

Apple, you're really trying my love for your products!

Didn't work for me either..
Got the shake for shuffle option turned off all time I got iPhone...

But all and all, Apple HAS to come with a solution...
It's been like a month at least now, and they still haven't got ANY solution at all.. :S
It's really embarrassing for a multi-billion company to just not fix it..

Apple people, we pay for this **** !!!
It's about time U came around with a solution !!!

Ha! That's where it all started -originally the headphone jack DIDN'T work with regular plugs. I tell ya, every year they get closer to mirroring the evil empire they wanted to counter.

Add me to the list as well. Just updated to 4.1 and with my Clarion head unit in my car i get a crackling that almost sounds like the interference you get when you hold an old cell phone near a speaker. A stuttering bleeping sound.

I have a pioneer touch screen with a USB port in my car and im having the same issues. My music goes in and out every 10 seconds or so. Im hearing 4.2 doesn't come out until November so i'm on the net looking for a way to go back to 4.0.2 until then

Seems like we are all having a different degree of interference, which is weird. Some people are losing sound all together, where as I get more of a background interference over my music.

This type of random problem is YET ANOTHER REASON WHY APPLE NEEDS TO ALLOW OS DOWNGRADING.

I would have been fine at 4.0 and really dont care about the new features that 4.1 added all that much, and certainly not in trade of my music library. But after being pestered by the update popups I finally figured 'why not?' and am now stuck with a software that is useless for one of primary functions I use it for.

Is anyone at Apple listening? or are have they gotten so big that they no longer have to care?

I just tried to play my iPhone 4 on my Bose sounddock and it wouldn't play! This has happened since updating to ios 4.1 - anyone know how to contact Apple to see just what they intend to do about this?
