Ipod sounds like a record and not in a good way:)

[jason]

Hi guys hoping someone can help I'm at my wits end LOL, Over the past couple of days I've noticed that my ipod is making a low popping sound when playing music. I have tried a number of thing to try solve it as I wasn't sure what was the cause at first ie amp,dac,speakers,cables, but I've think I've narrowed it down to the ipod. The sound it makes is like when your playing a record with the little pops and ticks you here. Anyone any ideas? I know get rid of it and go back to a turntable might spring to mind but I would like to get it sorted out.

Cheers

Jason.

If the track was copied from a record if will record the clicks and pops

However you could try cleaning the ipod on a RCM

Hmm that is a bummer

Does it happen with headphones directly with the iPod/iPhone ? If yes the it is internal to the iPod and probably it's back to apple to be fixed

If it does not happen on headphones then it might be your dock or dac- and the first suspect might be the power supply, try switch that

I have had lots of iPods and iPhones and iPads - and any problem I have had I just take it back to the apple store and they have just handed me a new one - amazing service! It didn't even matter what country I bought it in!

That's the only thing I haven't tried the headphones I'm waiting for my girfriend to get home as I'm not sure were they are. I've tried the ipod direct to the dac on its own and then in the dock without the dac but it still does it both ways I'll report back once I've tested the headphones

Just had a quick google search and it seems like I'm not the only one with this problem typed in (my ipod popping when playing) and quite a few people are having the same issue just off on a bigger search see if I can come up with anything, I knew I should have kept my gyro dec

Hi Jason.

Just a thought, but do you have any other source you could try, just to be sure it's a source issue. Even a Playstation or DVD player and a CD might answer it for you. I hope you get it sorted easily.

Hi Andrew yes mate I tried the DVD player with a CD and it was ok so that rules the amp and speakers out

Hi Jason. I did a bit of reading and it seems to be a known IPod issue. Some people are reporting that it has cleared when they update the OS to whatever Apple's latest IOS is (IOS7?) Worth a go, I suppose. Some have also had a result with a full reboot, but that's probably more hassle.

Good luck

Thanks for the info Andrew and taking the time to check I'll have a read up on it tomorrow.

Cheers mate
