IPhone 4 audio playback cuts out after latest update (5.1)

My phones audio playback ( podcast, audiobook or music) cuts out at random intervals during playback.
This happens when listening through apple headPhones or my audio lead aux input to my stereo.
This has only started since the last software update (5.1). It's really frustrating as you often hit the jump back or forward arrows when restarting, instead of the intended Play symbol ( they are close together). This is really frustrating when your listing to an hour+ podcast.
Is anyone else having this problem since the update?

Same problem here! My phone was functioning correctly after the update until today, when it randomly attempted it's own emergency call, then requested that I turn on location services. When I hit cancel, it repeatedly requested that I turn on the service. When I agreed to turn on location services, it defaulted to the screen with the iTunes logo and the USB cable. Since then, I have been unable to get it to function. The phone has been switching between a black screen and the apple screen and buzzing periodically. When I touched the apple, it pixellated and melted away. I did see a message that the iPhone needed to be activated once and very briefly. I managed to connect it to iTunes using an old troubleshooting guide, but when I asked iTunes to restore it to factory settings (politely, thank you), it gave me error 21 (unknown error) and said it was unable to restore.
Hopefully someone has an answer...?

  • FaceTime audio keeps cutting out after a few minutes

    Every time I try to use FaceTime on my iPhone 4, the audio cuts out after 5-10 minutes or so.
    Even after hanging up and calling back, there is still no audio. The picture is fine, but I can't hear anything the other party is saying. They apparently can hear me fine, so it appears to be something with the speaker. However, the speaker works fine in every other app.
    I also tried using Skype, and it worked with no audio problems. So the issue is definitely isolated to FaceTime.
    I do not have this problem with my iPad. It works fine. I tried showing this to a genius at the Apple store, but they can't do anything because the phone is no longer under warranty.
    I tried wiping the phone clean, and setting it up as a brand new phone, and still have the same problem.
    Any suggestions?

    Hello 
    To get a better handle on the problem, connect at least one computer to the router using an Ethernet cable. This can help isolate the problem further.
    You can pretty much connect as many devices to the wireless side as you wish. The only problem you might encounter if you connect a large number of machines on the wireless side is lack of bandwidth. I can't imagine 5-6 machines on a wireless network would be a problem, unless one or two of them attempts a large file transfer. Even then, I would expect the wireless to be slow - not down.
    What version of firmware is in your WRT160N? How long have you had your router, and has it worked properly in the past?

  • Ipod sync is greyed out after latest update and libary was wiped

    i updated the latest update...2 weeks later opened itunes my libary was gone bar itunes purchases...
    now when ipod is connected if i go to file/ devices ipod isnt there eg bla blas ipod and the sync is greyed out ..
    now before i updated the latest update all was fine..
    ive since put my libary back as is stored on external hard drive and reset ipod and added libary back to ipod
    but still the same as dicribed above.
    now i connected my wifes iphone 4s to itunes went to file/devices hey presto itunes reconised it as eg wifes iphone
    but dosnt do for ipod..
    any ideas cheers.

    Normally a greyed out Wifi is a hardware failure, but with some of the problems I've seen with the upgrade to iOS 4 on 3G phones, I'm not convinced the problem/problems aren't related to software. I have two suggestions, neither of which are guaranteed to work: 1. Restore your phone as a "new" device in itunes & not from backup. But first delete any and all .ipsw files on your computer. This will force itunes to re-download the current OS. The .ipsw file can be found here:
    OS X: ~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates
    XP: C:\Documents and Settingsusername\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
    7 & Vista: C:\Usersusername\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates
    You may have to turn on "show all hidden files" to find them.
    Once done, reboot your computer, launch itunes, connect your phone & restore as "new". When finished, DO NOT SYNC, rather eject your phone & see if all is working properly. If it is, sync your content back to your phone. If not, proceed AT YOUR OWN RISK!
    2. Try and downgrade to 3.1.3 from here:

    Note: Before you try this, bear in mind this is NOT endorsed by Apple & that you run the risk of making your phone inoperable.

  • Audio Cuts out after a few minutes.  IChat AV 2.1

    I have surfed and have not found any topics like this yet. Audio is cutting out after chatting with another Mac - AV user. Both microphones still appear to work in the preferences, but the person can not hear on the other side. Video works fine, but now audio. Any help or suggestions would be helpful. Virex 7 has already been removed. This solved the video problems. Merry Christmas.

    Hi Brian,
    Your title states that the audio cuts out during a chat but the post itself seems to imply that you do not have Audio after the chat.
    IF it is cutting out during a Video cut can you please tell us what connection speeds both ends have ?
    It should be a at least 100kbps up and down.
    If it is not you will have problems. You may find that a cable connection varies as the chat goes on and this might be part of the problem.
    Soemthings that might help:
    GO to System Preferences > Quicktime > Streaming tab and set the Connection sped to mathc the download speed at either end.
    GO to iChat > Preferences > Video > bandwidth Limit Drop Down and set this to NONE.

  • The audio on my macbook pro cuts out after a few minutes.

    The audio on my macbook pro cuts out after a few minutes. It sounds like all the low end is removed. I still hear audio but it is MUCH lower and sounds filtered. I can barely hear it maxed out. Nothing attached (no external drives, no speakers, etc) and it's only a few days old.

    Apple store pronto.  If need be (if less than 14 days from purchase) exchange for a new one!
    Ciao.

  • Audio cuts out after 2 minutes

    I'm having a bizzare trouble with the Audio cutting out after 2 minutes while watching TV.  It comes back for exactly 2 minutes only after I change the chanel, and with every subsequent chanel change after.
    I have the Audio out on the @anywhere card connected to the line-in on my Audigy 2 sound card via a stero cable (which I've changed) and I've verrified that my sound card is ok by running other devices into the computer through the line-in.  
    I've also had alot of trouble with the MSIPVS software crashing and causing my system to hang.  I've only had the card and software for a short time and am still working out the bugs but any help will be appreciated.

    Did you look at the top of THIS forum? In the Announcements and Important threads? I know there is a sticky thread about sound cutting out, it may, or may not be related to the one problem you have.

  • PE10 problem: .MTS audio cutting out after 15-30 seconds

    Hi. I'm having an extremely frustrating time trying to edit some .MTS video in PE10. On quite a few of the files I've imported (using Import Media) into PE10 the audio is cutting out 15-30 seconds into the clip. However, other clips from the same shoot open perfectly.
    The audio from the 'faulty' clips plays perfectly well in the Elements 10 Organizer, as well as in Windows Media Player, VLC etc so it isn't a problem with audio capture. The video track works fine. This has happened before with PE10. That time, I just thought i'd recorded crappy audio and left those clips out
    I have a fast, relatively new PC using Windows7. The footage was recorded on a Panasonic HDC-SD90 in full HD. The project was set up correctly (AVCHD full HD 1080i 25).
    Please help - I need to get this footage edited asap! Thanks. Al

    Hi. thanks for the speedy response, Hunt! I imported the images through Organizer and set it to auto-delete, so would I be right to presume it took off everything it needed? Hmm. I didn't know anything about conforming and indexing! On the link you provided, you mention:
    The progress bar tells you how much Conforming has been done per file, and gives an indicataion of how much Conforming is left to do. It is a good practice to not touch the computer, while Conforming is on-going, as this can cause the process to stop (usually leading to truncated Audio), the program to crash/hang, or even the computer to crash/hang.
    Where, exactly, is this bar? I usually import a whole folder (i.e. whole SD card) in one go, and start dragging the clips I need onto the timeline immediately. Is this a bad thing? Should I have imported in smaller batches and been waiting for them to conform? If this is the case, should I start a new project from scratch (which I could easily do) or just delete files and re-import?
    Cheers

  • I bought a song on itunes but it cuts out after 14 seconds on my laptop but on my ipod it plays in full, how can I rectify the tune on my pc, thankyou

    I bought a song on itunes but it cuts out after 14 seconds on my laptop but on my ipod it plays in full, how can I rectify the tune on my pc so that I can play it in the house and put it on a cd for the car. I went into the itunes store to play the tune and it cuts out there too. thankyou

    Hello there, La Clairiere Feerique.
    I understand you are having issues with playback of a purchased song. If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, it might be best to delete the song from your computer, then re-download from your purchase history.
    To delete a song the following Knowledge Base article offers how to delete from your iOS device:
    How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5772
    Music
    Open the section below for the device you are using.
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Mac or PC
    Before you delete, find out if you'll be able to download the song you deleted again (it depends on where you live). To delete a song:
    Launch iTunes.
    From the Library pop-up menu, choose Music.
    Click Songs in the navigation bar.
    Click the song you want to delete.
    Press the Delete key on your keyboard.
    In iTunes 11, the album cover art will remain visible, but a cloud icon will appear on it to allow you to download the item again (in countries that support this).
    Note: If you didn't purchase a song from the iTunes Store, you won't be able to download it again for free from iTunes in the Cloud. You might want to back it up somewhere on your computer.
    Afterwards, re-download the purchases from your purchase history:

  • Airplay cuts out after one song

    I am having a problem with airplay cutting out after each song when using Itunes. I tunes continues to play but tracks but is not transmitting via airplay.
    configuration is as follows:
    Airport time capsule is connected via wireless to airport express, airport express is connected to wireless internet router via cat 6 RJ45, Apple TV connected via wireless to airport express.
    It is not physically possible to connect all devices together with cable.
    Time capsule is set to extend network via wireless connection to airport express and both are configured for 5GHz.
    I can connect my MAC Book Pro mid 2012 to either the Time capsule or airport express.
    Aiport express is connected to a Sound sytem and apple TV is also connected to separate Sound System.
    When playing tracks through ITunes and selecting both or either airport express or apple TV airplay cuts out. If I connect directly to my old internet router it also cuts out, indicating there is a possible problem with the WI-FI connection but each device has a perfect connection due to their proximity. If I connect my MAC Book Pro directly to the airport express in the same room and within 4 ft of each other airplay cuts out after one track so that does not indicate a signal error.
    This problem has only started recently and did not happen on my windows PC and if I play directly from my IPad or Iphone the music streams perfectly but I can only stream to one device at a time.
    Current configs:
    Airport express Version 7.6.4
    Time Capsule version 7.7.1
    Itunes version 11.1.3 (8)
    MAC Book Pro OS 10.8.5 mid 2012
    Apple TV (latest update)
    Obvious things I have done:
    Checked for updates
    Rebooted every device several times
    Tried moving every device closer together (made no difference)
    Re-rooted all light aircraft and switched off every thing that could possibly that transmits device in the house
    Does anybody have a solution to this problem.

    I have this same problem. 
    I am using an Alienware Aurora desktop PC running Windows 8.1.  My music library is stored on  Synology Diskstation 1513+ NAS.  The PC, Playmaker and NAS are all wired into a Netgraer D6300 router. 
    I have no problem playing iTunes through my PC speakers or headphones but when I use Airplay to play either through my Apple TV OR my Bang and Olufsen Playmaker (through to B&O speakers) the music stops after one track even though iTunes is still playing the next track in the playlist.  If I stop and restart, or if I choose another track it plays through to the end and the problem starts again.  If I play wirelessly from my iPhone through the Playmaker and the B&O speakers I have no problem.  So it seems to be fairly and squarely an Airplay issue?
    This was intermittently happening but is now happening all the time.  GRRRRRR!
