Beosund 8 - Popping noise

5 replies

I have an iPhone plugged into a beosound 8 and this morning it started making random popping noises when music plays. Not all the time, but enough to be both noticable and irritating.

Has anyone else seen this/have any thoughts on it?

Did you upgrade to iOS 4.3 on your iPhone?

I did, and the popping noises started to happen, irregularly but very often on all tracks. No such problem with Beosound 8 before the upgrade to iOS 4.3 on my iPhone 4.

Strangely, my iPad upgraded to the new iOS 4.3 did not have the same problem with Beosound 8. I upgraded both iPhone and iPad right away when the 4.3 came out.

What solved my iPhone 4 & Bousound 8 problem was a "Reset to factory settings" restore on the iPhone. Now the iPhone plays without any problems with audio on Beosound 8. The popping sounds are gone.

I did a search on the matter at Apple's Support Forums, and apparently a similar issue has occurred to some users with earlier iOS updates as well, with iPhone audio docks from various manufacturers. So the issue is not isolated to iPhone & Beosound 8.

Do a restore on your iPhone and see if it helps. In my case it did -- although a restore has not helped with all of the reported similar post-upgradre problems with different audio docks.

 

You are spot on, did the update yesterday. Should have guessed the weak link was the iPhone!

Will see if this fixes the problem.

 

Thanks,

Matt

the issue is back with vengance... is anyone else suffering from this?

Amusingly enough, it's been reported that with iOS 4.3.1, which was out last Friday, March 25th, audio "pops" and "clicks" occur again with some Audio Docks w/ iPhones. It appears that there is no consistency in this, i.e. someone with a certain Audio Dock experience it, while others with the same dock do not.

I haven't updated to 4.3.1 yet, did you perhaps?

Again, a "Reset to Factory Settings" on your iPhone might help.

If the iOS update is once again the reason for this, this is getting "not-so-funny" -- extra trouble after each update. 

I hope you get the problem solved. It would be good to know if the iOS update is the culprit.
