Audio problems with earpods using iPhone 5

I've noticed that when I use Apple's earpods on the iPhone 5 the audio goes in and out. It's hard to describe. It sounds like the audio of the words drop off at the end like the volume dramatically reduced. It happens for every word or every other word. It makes it hard to understand what people are saying on the phone. It doesn't seem the people I'm calling are having any problems understanding me so I think the problem is only on my side.
This problem never happen on the iPhone 4 so I think it's a unique problem only found on the iPhone 5. My theory is that it has something to do with the iPhone 5's noise cancelling feature since the audio seems to go up and down in volume. I've noticed the problem doesn't happen when I make calls on the iPhone without the earpods.
Does anyone know a solution to this problem? Is there any way to turn off the noise cancellation?

Problems with "new" used iPhone

hey guys,
i have a problem with my new iphone. i bought an iphone on ebay and now i want to use ist with my t-mobile-sim-card, but it doesn't work. First it worked, but i found out, that the iPhone was jailbreaked, so I updated it to firmware 3.1.3 to delete this jailbreak. but it doesn't work now with my simcard (it's not a prepaid) and itunes says, that the card isn't compatible. maybe someone can help me... it makes me very angry. i spend so much time to get the money for the iphone and now this ****...

When you installed the new 3.1.3 firmware you locked the phone back with att. Previously being jailbroken and unlocked allows you to use other sim cards but now that you updated the firmware its not possible. What you can do is wait for someone to come out with a way to jailbreak the new firmware and unlock it yourself.

I have problems with my used iphone.

Hello there. I recently purchased a used iphone from a friend. However he took the sim card out as he needed it for his other phone.
I have tried inserting my new at&t sim card, as well as a new blank one but when i want to activate the phone itunes keeps saying "there is a problem with your iphone". What can i do in this situation? Thanks.

Yes, you should go back to AT&T and let them know the SIM card is for an iphone. Only iphone SIM cards will work in the iphone. AT&T sells SIM cards that will work in many different phones, but only the SIM card designed for the iphone will work in it correctly.

Anyone with problems with Earpods and iPhone 4S?

I've just bought the new EarPods to use with the iPhone 4S but the remote doesn't seem to work with the phone. Sound is just fine.
I've tried them on my iPad 2 and the remote works just fine.
Both are running iOS 6.
Thanks

On English iPads, it is in Settings -> Music -> Volume Limit.
Had to reboot before it worked.
I don't think it's the actual setting, though. More like "some setting being adjusted, and then a reboot", but I have no way of knowing for sure. All my in-ear's work now (7-8 different brands).

Problem with network on Iphone 4

Please tell me if someone has a problem with network on Iphone 4?

Of course other people have had problems. However, just knowing that other people have had some vague, undefined "network problems" most likely isn't going to be very useful. You'll get more and better help if you can give some details about your specific problem. Include who your carrier is, what country you're in. Then describe the exact nature of the problem. Then, maybe someone will be able to give good suggestions.
And, by the way, the free bumper program ended some time ago. It also was only a "solution" for one of many possible problems.
Best of luck.

Firewire audio problems with OS X 10.5.6

Hello,
I’m experiencing audio problems with Firewire 400 on my Macbook running Mac OSX 10.5.6.
I’ve got a 2.4Ghz IntelCore 2 Duo with 4 GB RAM and 59 GB available on the internal HD.
It’s hooked up to a brand new Mackie D.4 mixer with 2 Firewire outputs. The problems occur on both Firewire outputs.
I’ve installed automatically from the software update (which I will never do again) to 10.5.6. I never tried the D.4 with 10.5.5 so I can’t tell if the problems occur there also.
The main problem is that after a couple of minutes of recording the sound starts to break up and get really distorted. After a while the sound comes back again.
The second problem is that Soundtrack Pro or Audacity don’t get any audio input from the D.4, although audio input is clearly visible in System Preferences – Sound.
The only sound program that works with all 14 Firewire channels is Ableton, but also in Ableton the distortion occurs.
An example of the distortion can be checked here:
http://media.kaalslag.com/firewire-distortion-problem-mackieD4+Macbook.mp3
I’ve roamed several forums and sites to solve the problem and I tried these solutions:
I updated again to 10.5.6. with the full combo download from the Apple site. Restarted. Problem still there.
I shut Airport off, because lots of sites mentioned problems with Airport conflicting with audio/firewire. Didn’t work.
I did the work around with shutting the Macbook off, disconnecting the D.4, restarting the Macbook, opening Audio/Midi Setup, connecting the D.4 again, toggling the format frequencies a couple of times. Again, no use.
Right now I’m using my “old” Macbook again to record from vinyl. This one is still running on OSX 10.4.11. No problems so far.
I’ve had the distortion problems occuring before with an USB interface. Hoped that the Mackie Firewire would solve the problem, but it seems now that there’s a serious audio Firewire problem which is still not solved in OSX 10.5.
Any help, tips and/or a work around would be much appreciated. Thanks!

You could try using another computer in Target Disk mode (as an "external HD"), or you can connect the firewire cable and disconnect all other network cables (turning off airport). Then on each computer go to the "Network" system preferences and select "Built-in Firewire" from the list of ports and choose "Manually" from the drop-down menu next to "Configure". Enter the following IP addresses and subnet masks, apply the changes.
_Computer 1_
IP Address: 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
_Computer 2_
IP Address: 192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
After those ip addresses are entered and you've clicked "Apply", ensure that for both computers you have file sharing enabled (done in the "Sharing" system preferences), and then check the Finder sidebar to see if the computers can see each other (their names should appear under "Shared" in the sidebar--if not, try restarting).
If the computers dont appear (even after restarting), using the "Connect To" option that's available in the Finder's "Go" menu. In there, to connect to another computer enter it's IP address as follows:
afp://IP_ADDRESS
If you're on the computer with the ip address of 192.168.1.1, you would enter 192.168.1.2 as "IP_ADDRESS". The "afp" is the protocol (just like "http" for web), and stands for "Apple Filing Protocol"...Apple's file sharing protocol.

USB audio problems with 2013 iMac

I'm having a strange audio problem with USB microphones and headsets. The issue with my Logitech H650e is shown in this screencast I recorded. In the first part of the screencast, I am not speaking into the mic—yet you can see the levels fluctuating as if there is static playing (not in a natural pattern that you'd see when someone is speaking). In the next part of the video I demonstrate that selecting the built-in iMac mic for input, and then re-selecting the Logitech headset temporarily solves the problem. You can see the input start to fluctuate normally as it should when I am speaking. But at 0:31 in the screencast, you can see the input levels freeze and stop registering anything. I continued to speak until the end of the screencast, but no input was detected. For this screencast, I was on a Go To Webinar call, but the problem occurs regardless of whether I'm using Skype, Go To Webinar, GarageBand or any other software.
The problem with my Blue Yeti USB microphone is also different. In that case, the input does not freeze as it does with the Logitech headset. The levels appear as you would expect, and it seems to work. However, the person on the other end can hear static in the background, even though I don't hear it in my own headphones. I learned this because I just tried to do a Skype interview with the Blue Yeti, and the interviewer told me they could hear static. We closed Skype and called each other back twice, but the problem persisted. Then, suspecting the problem was related to what I described above with the Logitech, I unplugged the Yeti and then plugged it into my Macbook Air 2013 (also running Mavericks). Lo and behold the static completely disappeared.
My Griffin iMic and Audio Technica lavalier mic (attached to the iMic) behaves similarly to the Yeti, except in this case I can hear the static when I speak with my monitoring headphones. The input works but I get a lot of cracking and static in the background. This was confirmed by calling the Skype Test Call number and recording a message, which is then played back.
Here are the facts:
All 3 of my USB audio microphones/headsets do not work with my 2013 iMac running Mavericks
All 3 of these microphones/headsets worked fine with my 2008 Mac Pro running Mountain Lion
All 3 of these microphones/headsets work fine with my 2013 Macbook Air running Mavericks
In this other thread, several people are reporting similar issues with the iMac 2013 and Mavericks. At least two people did not have the issue when the iMac 2013 was running Mountain Lion. This of course suggests the issue is the combination of the iMac 2013 and Mavericks.

Audio problems with Droid/X

When sending voice messages using Cloudtalk, the recipient hears only garbage. I contacted Cloudtalk technical support, and it appears that the 3gp file sent by the phone is not recognized. This problem is known by them, and happens only on Droid/X.
Anyone else is experiencing audio problems with the droid/x?

That doesn't sound like an audio issue with the X, it sounds like a compatibility issue between the X and the service.

Audio problems with CHS 435

Hello all, I'm having audio problems with my FiOS set top box. When I start to change channels I lose audio and can't get it back unless I turn the TV off/on or I change the HDMI source on my TV . Seems after changing a couple of channels the problem happens. I've tried the in home agent auto correct, and different HDMI cables. I have a Westinghouse TV and I'll try a firmware update for the TV and see if that fixes it. Any fix for this and the possibility that it might be the set top box ? I just got FiOS and all is going well besides this issue. Seems that the other STB that are model # 335 aren't having this problem.

Some TVs have had issues with the HDMI handshake and the Audio. You may be required to use the separate bulkier HD Component cables with separate audio cables. Or try it as a solution on that TV.
I have CHS 435 DVR on a Samsung, and 2 CHS 335s on different model Vizio TVs, all with HDMI, and no issues. Others have reported different issues. I did a search here with the following results. Perhaps this information will help.

Audio Problems with some HD channels (HBO mostly)

I'm experiencing sporadic audio problems with a handful of HD channels. Most noticably on HBO.
When the audio is output through the television itself, it sounds OK... however if the audio is output through my home theater receiver and speakers, I can hear a lot of static and "crackling" on certain movies and shows.
The issue isn't the home theater setup, as I have several other components that use it (AppleTV, Bluray, Xbox, etc.) and the audio sounds perfect from them.
The only device that displays that poor audio is the FiOS Set Top Box and even then it's only on a few channels.
I thought maybe that the optical audio cable between the set top box and the receiver may have been bad, so I replaced that. Same problem even with the new cable.
The problem is either with the Set Top Box itself or the audio levels on the stream from the channel provider.
Has anyone experienced anything similar to this, and if so... did you resolve it somehow?
Any help you could provide would be most appreciated.
Thanks!

Check the following.
Help & Settings > Settings > Entitlement Information
Here are possible entitlements mapped to channels.
101 - 104 : PSB HD
407 - 433 : Essential Extra / Unlimited Extra
446 - 453 : HD Extra
501 : Sky Sports 1
502 : Sky Sports 2
507 - 509 : BT Sport SD
510 - 512 : BT Sport HD
513 - 514 : Essential Extra / Unlimited Extra
530 - 540 : Sky Movies
555 - 563 : Kids Extra
You need 'HD Extra' for channels 446 - 453. I have the free 'BT Sport HD' but that does not cover entertainment HD channels. You need to subscribe to the HD Extra bolt-on for £3 for them. Have you ordered HD Extra (it only became available from last Sunday)?
