All audio crackling through any device connected to iPhone 4 - audio fine without device connected

I have an iPhone 4 and every time I plug in a set of headphones or attempt to connect the car cable to the iphone it does not play correctly. All audio that I attempt to play through either headphones or the car jack cracklings very badly, and the sounds I play are unrecognizable. The headphones are not broken they work with my computer. The jack is not broken it works with other iphones. It makes no sense at all, I had this problem a week ago, it resolved itself, and now once again I can not play audio from my iPhone other than with its native speakers.
Why would any device connected to the iPhone cause it to crackle and his and become unplayable? Like I said, it works fine without headphones or a car jack. Once I try to connect a device it malfunctions terrible and starts crackling before I even attempt to play audio
Just upgraded to 6.1.3, it did not fix it.
PLEASE HELP

Hi
Just to update for the last time. I have realised that if the bluetooth is paired to the car the music sound either does not play or plays for around a minute then cuts out. This still happens even if I disconnect the bluetooth connection. However if I delete the phone completely out at the car and cancel the pairing, the music plays fine no issues.
I guess somehow it is therefore based around the bluetooth. I have checked all menus I can find on the car and the phone to make sure there is no setting wrong somewhere. I cannot understand why it plays for a short time and then stops, seems like an intermittant fault ???
Thanks
Michael.

Sound not playing through any device.

Sound will not play through any device I try. I tired re installing all the drivers messing around with the playback device
and sound mixer and tried going through the audio jack in the back the headphone jack in the front hdmi to my tv and usb wireless headset none of them worked. and tried them all on with something other than my pc and the devices themselves work. i honestly
dont know what else to try is it something with windows or maybe my graphics card or something else? please help.

Hi Kevinwido,
When did this issue occur ?Have you made any modifications to the machine ? Will the built-in sound device work ?Have you tried to update the motherboard from the manufacturer website to have a check ?
You may need to download the sound card driver from the manufacturer for the sound devices to have a check.
If only the outer device won`t work and both of them are USB devices ,it is recommended to reinstall the USB controller driver, too .
If the issue occured recently ,we can perform a system restore to recover the machine to a previous point to have a check. Please note we will miss some configurations after the restore point .
Best regards

DENON AUDIO RECEIVER, Crackling in the all speakers with any device being used

I have extended warranty....
If I turned it in would I just get a replacement model because I don't want a refund ..
Also is this common? Is there a quick explanation? If not anyone want to take a stab at what's wrong?
PROBLEM= CRACKLING in all the speakers, happens with every device (blueray, DVD, TV, IPOD, Computer)
it starts to crackle simply when you turn on one of said devices otherwise its quiet..
Note. Not just devices (the radio tuner also, so its not a" HDMI cord gone bad")
It seems like anything that that makes the receiver use it's amp any power at all the crackling begins

Sounds like we have the exact same issue.. its not the devices or the speakers it's in the receiver.. luckily i have a Denon repair shop in my town .. so i can work closely with the techs and maybe finally figure this out.. i pray it's not something that gets fixed then poof! after a week just comes back.. I mean Denon will have to supply us as consumers with a working none defective product.. there selling lemons, If this is a major known problem with them.. this is disturbing.. there not cheep machines.. I mean this cost me some serious money and all 7 new speakers, blueray, and plasma to go with it.. so i have so much invested in this that i am pretty worried.. i'm not angry yet, but if i have to experience what you are experiencing my temper gauge is going to shoot straight up like a rocket..
Please if there is an admin that is a Rep. for Denon, please tell me what you will do if the problem cannot be fixed? it doesn't seem lawful to continue selling defective products at premium price.
I will update this post when the repair shop gets on the issue.. i know the owner very well and most the techs.. So i may be able to post helpful new analysis so all of us can end the problem for good... they open on Monday so I'm looking forward to what they have to say.. Thank you for your response, although it was encouraging, knowing someone has the same issue, helps takes away the worry that i have done something stupid to create the issue..
last thought.. when you say they know of the issue.. did he expand on what they think it is and there plan to fix it? what happens when my factory warranty runs out???

I have an iphone 5, 2 months old. i am having trouble connecting with any device through bluetooth.

Try holding down CTRL as you launch iTunes to see if it will repair the drivers.
Or try Cerbu's post here.
Or see TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, forcing a driver update.

Can i have a central hard drive containing all my media and stream it to my devices when i wish from any internet connection?

I'm thinking of getting an ipad but due to having too many songs/movies etc I'm running out of space on my Macbook (250gb). I want to access all my music on my phone and ipad and macbook from any internet connection... Is there a way of doing this?

You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
Non purchased movies such as home video can't be uploaded to iCloud and would require a third party cloud storage solution.

My Iphone 4s says connected to TV and will not let me watch any videos on Safari, and only plays sound through the device. I have not messed with the settings, and have not connected it to anything bluetooth either. It's update is IOS 6.1.3

I have an Iphone 4S and It won't let me watch videos on my safari, which I do everyday. It says that I am connectef to a tv, yet I have not connected it to a tv during the entire time i've owned this product. I have not connected it to anything bluetooth either. It plays the sound through the device, but it will not play the video at all. the update is IOS 6.1.3

Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
- Next try the manual install method of:
iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
- Then try on another computer

Recently tried to upload photos on my iPad to the iCloud PL beta and in the process it removed all the photos from my device through the photo stream. No CPU backup of photos, photos are older than 30days. Any third party recovery software I can use?

First of all, you should always save you photos on computer like any other digital camera.
Backup on iCloud or iTunes only backup your Camera Roll. The other photos should be already on the computer.
Note: Photos are not saved in iTunes, it's only a conduit between your iPhone and your photo managing software on computer.
What computer do you have?

All audio devices funcitonal, but still no sound

•Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Service Pack 1
•Pavilion G6 Notebook PC
•Product number: A4G29AV
•IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
I cannot get certain types of audio output through either my headphones or my onboard speakers, even though all of my speakers are functioning correctly.
My headphones are connected through a USB device and my speakers are built into the laptop.
Things that will play are System Sounds, Audio Configuration Tests, and the occasional youtube video for a reason I cannot identify.
Beyond that, there is no sound output. However, I have confirmed that both my onboard speakers and my headphones are working correctly.
I have performed a reboot, am in the middle of a malware scan, and checked all of my volume controls to make sure nothing has been accidentally muted.
I still have yet to try uninstalling the driver and a system restore.
The only thing that changed on my PC before the problem occurred was connecting it to a TV via HDMI cable. In that instance, all audio was correctly rerouted to the TV speakers.
This laptop has honestly given me nothing but trouble since I got it, so any help at all would be greatly appreciated!
This question was solved.

Hello @ssuits,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I have read your post on how your notebook is not able to produce sound for most audio applications, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
To re-enable the audio to your computer, I recommend removing the drivers in Programs and Features and the Device Manager. Once the old software is removed, please restart your computer. When the notebook has booted back into Windows, please download and install the IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver.
If the issue continues, I also suggest returning your system back to a restore point when the audio output was working correctly. This can be done by following this document on Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 7).
Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

Can see and recognize my wireless network and Internet is working, but I can't connect with ANY computers/iPad/iPod/air TV, etc. I have reset the time machine several times, and can see the network, but cannot access it with any device. PLEASE HELP!

I have Comcast Internet and have it connected to a Motorla Surfboard modem and have that running directly to a 2TB Time Capsule. The TC is serving as our time machine as well as our wireless router. We lost power in a storm a week ago and can no longer connect to my wireless network I can see the network and sign into it via password, but cannot connect with any device(iMac, MacBook, iPhones, iPod touches, air tv, etc.). ALL of these devices worked gat before the power went out. I reset both modem and TC and still can't connect. I can connect to the Internet through Ethernet cord directly from the modems dn have confirmation(per Comcast service) that the Internet is working and we have a good connection.
The TC is less than six months old so I'm not sure what is wrong. I have reset settings with TC to no avail. I have reset the TC SEVERAL times and have no idea what could be wrong and what is prohibiting me from connecting. Anyone that has ANY suggestions or ideas as to how to fix this, PLEASE HELP!!! I'm going crazy using iPad 3G and not being able to connect to our wifi. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND I LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING BACK TO THE 21ST CENTURY!

Anyone have any ideas or information to help with this? Any help and consideration is MUCH appreciated.

I no longer have sound when playing my clips through adobe premiere elements 12. How to I correct this problem? I have checked all audio levels and there is no mute on etc. I have updated to 12.1. Still no sound.

bfun
What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12/12.1 running on? Can we assume that this audio plays back OK
on the same computer when you are using a computer player independent of Premiere Elements?
What are the properties of these clips that worked before but do not know with regard to sound
For now, I will assume that you are working on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
Have you checked the Edit Menu/Preferences/Audio Hardware ASIO settings? Do you have any 3rd party audio devices incorporated in your computer environment?
Please delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and, if that does not work, then the whole 12.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. The Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit path is
Local Disk C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Premiere Elements
12.0
and, in the 12.0 Folder, is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then delete the whole 12.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Make sure that you are working with Folder Option "Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives" active so that you can see the complete path cited.
Do you have installation files or installation disc with the purchased serial number in case we need to resort to uninstall/reinstall?
We will be watching for your follow up.

TS2756 iOS personal hotspot does not let any device connect after a connection from a 5 GHz band

I used my iPhone 5 with latest iOS version. When I connect my iphone to a 5GHz band at home and then ON the Personal Hotspot (PH), my ipad mini retina can't connect to the wifi of the iphone, it said "Unable to connect". I tried it with my laptop and got the same result. But if I disconnect it from the 5GHz and reconnect to a 2.4GHz band (at home too), then turn on PH, it will let other device connect normally.
I know that I can solve the problem by connect to a 2.4GHz and then turn on PH. But the problem is when I go out, every wifi around me is password protected, and I need to share PH to my laptop. it just won't connect. Do a Network reset solve the problem too, but when I come back home and connect to my 5GHz band, the problem still raise, PH will not let any device connect to it until I connect my iphone to a 2.4GHz and then turn on PH again.

Hi, thanks for your answers.
I have tried bluetooth tethering and it does work, but often i find has the same issue after a few minutes or if i let my device sleep, i have to reinitiate the hotspot. Whats worse is that i can go into the hotspot settings sometimes and it says "NOW DISCOVERABLE!" but nothing can see it, not my iPad, not my laptop, nor any other wifi enabled device until i toggle Hotspot off and on again.
Also, distance is an issue. Occasionally I like leaving my iPhone to charge on my desk to charge as tethering beats the battery up and if i go to the room next door, the bluetooth drops. If i don't come back within range in a few seconds, the hotspot becomes undiscoverable and I have to go through the process again. Overall this has not been a feasible solution for my issues.
As for resetting the network settings, I had to do this initially when I upgraded to iOS 5 as the Personal hotspot setting disappeared entirely. I had to do a full network reset, and reboot my handset once more for Personal hotspot to even return as a usable option but it didn't help the flakiness. This isn't an iOS 5 new issue though, as i said, it's been happening since 4.3...
All these super annoying first world pains eh? Again, thanks for your feedback but it doesn't help my particular issues.

I did allllll that is listed below, but when I get to sync iPad, it won't sync, what do I do? Preparation Before you connect any device to a new library go to the Devices tab

THis is what I did, but when I get to sync, it won't sync.....what do I doLynnLynn
Preparation
Before you connect any device to a new library go to the Devices tab of the the preferences panel via Edit > Preferences (Windows) or iTunes > Preferences (Mac) and ensure the box next to Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically is ticked. You can now safely connect the device to your computer without the danger of media being automatically deleted or overwritten.
If this device contains contacts or calendar items that are not already on the computer you are using, and that you wish to recover, then make sure you have at least one contact & one event in the applications that will sync with the device (e.g. Windows Address Book or Outlook under Windows, iCal & Address Book on a Mac).Dummy entries will do, but there must be at least one if the data is to be retrieved from the device in step 7 below.
Transfer purchases
You can transfer your iTunes Store purchases into a new library, after connecting the device, with the menu itemFile > Transfer Purchases from <Device>. You should be prompted to authorize the computer to your iTunes account if you have not already done so. If your device holds content from more than one account you will need to authorize each one.
See also: HT1848 - iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer.
Back up (iOS only)
If this is an iOS device you should now right-click on it (control-click on a Mac) in the left-hand column of the iTunes window and click Back Up to make a backup of the current settings and application data on the device.
Recover other media
iTunes only permits the transfer of iTunes Store purchases. If your device contains other media that you've ripped from CD or downloaded from other online stores you can either go back to the original sources or use third party software to extract your data from your device. There is a list of some of the software available below.
Recover other purchases
Your device may not have held all your iTunes Store purchases. You can recover qualifying purchases from your account by visiting the home page of the iTunes Store and clicking on the Purchased link in the Quick Linkssection in the right-hand column.
See also: HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Restore (iOS only)
Having backed up your device, and rescued all the media from it that you can, you should now restore the device from the backup that you took earlier to ensure that the device is properly associated with this new library. Right-click on it (control-click on a Mac) in the left-hand column of the iTunes window and click Restore from Backup...
Sync
Set up your preferences for syncing Music, TV Shows, Podcasts, Info etc. then click Sync. For a device that holds calendar or contact information you should be prompted to restore or merge. Click merge to copy this information into your computer. Your device is now properly associated with your new library and you shouldn't have lost any data.
Backup your library
For the future you should backup your library to a separate hard drive or network share as restoring a backup is much easier than the process above. The user tip Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy gives a suggested way of doing this effectively for Windows users. Mac owners can make use of Time Machine, or useCarbon Copy Cloner which does a similar job to SyncToy.

IPhone 5 not being recognized in iTunes (Mac). I have the latest Software update for iTunes, my iPhone, and my Mac. I have gone through the iTunes connectivity troubleshooting, no luck. Any suggestions/solutions?

The reason I found this problem is that I did a complete reset of my iPhone, so it reset all the content, through settings on the phone. That ended up deleting the ringtones I had. I tried searching up the same tones, however you can't "Install" already purchased stuff like you can in the AppStore.
I can't "iTunes wifi-sync" because you need to have connected at least once to the computer before you can wifi-sync, but because I reset my phone, it doesn't "remember" it once synced with my Mac cause I reset it.
I have gone through the "iTunes connectivity troubleshooting", nothing worked.
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/itunes/#section_1
My iPhone charges fine with the USB-Wall outlet adapter, so its not the lightning connector or the USB connector on the other end of the cord.
All the USB ports on my Mac are functionning (working with other cords for printers, etc.), but still the iPhone persists not to be recognized in iTunes.
So I am guessing iTunes is the problem.
Any Help, Solutions, Suggestions, would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I had not tried that article, however I already went throught the troubleshooting assistant, which covers everything that article has.
I am about to try to delete and re-install iTunes though, which was mentioned in your artile link.
Thanks for the help.
I'll post my findings/results.
