Hi,
I'm on a iPhone 3S...
Since the IOS 5 upgrade, I seem to have stability problems with iTunes. Apart from the occasional lock-up, It's having a problem with 2x playback of podcasts.
Whenever I activate voice controls, receive a call, or other audible interruptions, the playback reverts to normal speed. Opening iTunes still shows "2x" active, but it's playing back normal speed.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Yes Jeff, exact same issue here as well. I had what I consider to be a clean updgrade of an iPhone 4 with no issues overall, but this is most certainly a bug.
I have been searching the web/Apple forums for a post such as yours for the past 10 minutes and yours is the first I have found that matches exactly.
Playback speed is definitely reverting to 1x while displaying 2x whenever there is a phone related interuption. Scrolling though the 3 available speeeds back to 2x will fix, but this is still annoying.
Hopefully the developers are listening to us.

I am seeing the same. No stability problems, but making a call drops the podcast to 1x speed when the call ends.
It's bug. Lets hope they fix it in 5.0.1.
It's acutally worse than just the 2x playback failure. iTunes crashes regulary. If I make the mistake of turning the phone to landscape, it often freezes mid rotation (I've even snapped screen shots of this). I have to go to the home screen to escape this, and when relaunching iTunes, it inevitably crashes for real.
I also get may crashes as a matter of course with usage.

I think your phone might have a hardware fault
I too have been experiencing this. I have had no other ios 5 issues though.
anyone know how you report a software bug to Apple?
+1, noticed the same problem with playback speed after using siri or talking on the phone.
I have been having exactly the same problem - 2x playback breaks whenever I make or receive a call, since upgrading to iOS5. I have just filled out a bug report form at bugreport.apple.com. You should do so too, as I'm sure the more people report this, the more likely it is to get fixed in iOS 5.0.1.
Thanks for the tip on the bug report address gorillasports! That is exactly the information I have been looking for and indeed what all of us with this issue need to do.
It looks like you have to register as a developer for the bugreporter. Are there any other means of reporting bugs? I'm not aware of any.
That's weird. I'm not a developer and it let me submit a report.
problem with 2x playback?
