IPhone 6 Plus speaker sounds distorted with popping sound when phone rings or alerts play.

My iPhone 6 Plus is less than a 2 weeks old but since day one its speaker sounds distorted.   The ringer or alerts or even the new email alert have a popping or clangy sound to them.  Is this a software issue or hardware?  My phone is uptodate and Ive tried hard reboots to try to alleviate the problem but it didn't fix the problem.  Should I try to restore it?  Also, If I take it in to my local Apple store and they replace it, will my new ZAGG screen protector just be a wasted $20???

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    If the issue continues, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

    I had this problem with my 4s a couple of times when I'd taken the headphones out and it hasn't registered it. My solution was easy, all I had to do was turn the phone off and then on again.
    Although I'm sure you've already tried this its a sometimes forgotten and very easy solution to a lot of problems. I hope you find out what's wrong.

  • Sound distorted and no control when using akg k451's with 'in line remote' cable

    Just bought a pair of AKG k451 headphones from Amazon.
    The headphones come with 2 different cables, a standard cable, and one with an 'in line remote' for use with Apple products.
    The sound is fine with the standard cable, but if I use the 'in line' cable, the sound is distorted and there is no control of volume or play/pause function.
    I'm sure I have a problem with my iPhone 4S, as it works fine with both my wifes 4s and my ipad 2.
    It almost as if my phone does not like anything with a 'in line' remote.
    I'm running latest iOS etc and my phone is over 2 years old.
    Is this something that can be fixed, or will I need a new phone?
    Any suggestions would be grateful.

    shortytenshi,
    Caveat--I haven't tried this kind of hookup, and you didn't mention what Soundcard or game console you are using. But let me see if I understand correctly. You have two female RCA audio connectors on your game console. I'm guessing you ran two male-male RCA cables from the console to the two female RCA jacks on the Y splitter. And then you put the stereo plug of the Y-splitter into the Line-In of your SoundBlaster card (what card do you have?) You said you tested the cables, but you mentioned the female jacks, so I assume you mean that you tested the Y-Splitter. Have you verified that the male-male cables are intact and that your game console is puting out stereo on them? And do you have your speakers set to 2.0 and Line-In selected as your REC source and unmuted as your Playback source? Some cards also have a left-right speaker balance. It also would help if you could try recording from some other stereo source both using the same and different cables to test whether the card Line-in jack or cables are at fault.

  • Help with popping sound on new computer!!

    ) Hi,
    ? I just got a new computer from Dell XPS 9000 Windows 7 64 bit,?with the X-Fi Extreme Audio sound card. I'm getting popping sounds now and then, some when I go from page to page on IE 8 and back a page. I'm also getting the popping sound when I go to sound properties. I've tested diiferent sounds and it's a hit or miss on which sound would pop, seems different each time.
    ? Called Dell was on the phone 3 hours, they checked the hardware and everything passed, I also changed my speakers Klipsch - ProMedia 2. Speaker to a cheap set I had around and I'm still getting a popping sound now and then. Dell seemed to think it could be my hardri've, if that's the case, I just spent over 8 hours setting up the computer the way I wanted it. I also un-installed the sound card and re-installed it with the latest drivers.
    ? Could it still be the sound card or do some of you think it's my harddri've or something else?
    ???? Thanks, Jerry

    try the pax or daniel k modified drivers because if you use creatives' you're screwed.
    and to tell you the truth the popping will probably not go away 00%.
    probably the wisest thing to do is to go to where you got the pc and tell them to change the card to something not made from creative or not using anything from creative. creatives' driver development team is not working for the past 8-0 months. they are on hibernation until the earths temperature reaches minus 32 celsius.
    good luck mate
    Cheers !!!

  • Horrible Sound Distortion with Creative HS-950

    Hi, I recently bought the HS-950 USB Gaming headset. About 4 hours into gaming, I experienced an unpleasant sound distortion that made everyone on Vent Sound slowed down. I unpluuged my headset and a few hours later I had the same problem. After reading through the forums I have gathered this is a Major problem. But is there a Fix?
    I am running Vista 32bit and using Realtek HD sound.
    Thanks,
    Vortexx.

    I'm having the same problem .. horrible sound quality (headset OR headphone mode) on a MacBook Pro with built-in Bluetooth. I've got the latest & greatest update of Leopard too.
    Headset works great with my cell phone (no distortion).
    Will keep looking. Someone please post if they see a solution.
    Here's one possibility, although it says it is for Tiger and requires some command-line manipulation (not bad, but I don't expect to have to do this kind of thing on OSX):

  • Sound distorted with hdv

    I am importing HDV video from a Canon HV20 using I Movie 06. The picture is good but the sound is distorted. It sounds like it is slow. The project imported at 1/2 to 1/4 time. Any suggestions as to how to solve this import problem?

    But you said that the new OS installation has helped!!! So it must be something wrong with the OS or with the sound driver files..
    The notebook supports an Realtek ALC 861 HD Audio sound chip. Visit the realtek website and try to reinstall the newest sound driver.
    If it does not help install the OS again.. who knows why it happens... maybe a 3rd party applications has a bad influence on some registry keys or system files

  • Sound distortion with Audigy

    Hi all
    First off, I have looked at the FAQ's and tried just about everything except a reformat.
    I just bought a Sound Blaster Audigy SE card for a budget spec PC. The rough specs are:
    AMD Sempron 2600+
    ASRock K8 Upgrade-689 motherboard (supposedly with 7.ch onboard AC'97 audio)
    52mb ddr ram
    ASUS 9250 graphics card (64mb)
    When i first put the PC together, the sound did have some distortion when booting up (the windows startup sound was slightly distorted/crackly) and other distortion when other programs were loading and i was playing music at the same time. I assumed this was normal for a relati'vely budget PC.
    However, I decided to get the problem solved by buying a sound card to improve the sound quality, but after installing the Audigy SE (and downloading the latest drivers), the distortion has got worse, and almost any program that uses system resources to load will cause a lot of distortion. It's not as crackly, but the sound jumps and slows a hell of a lot when i do absolutely anything else when playing music, like open a browser for example. I seriously doubt there is a fault with the card itself.
    I've tried a fresh install, tested my speakers (which are fine) and the onboard sound is uninstalled and disabled in BIOS. There are no conflicting resources with the sound card. Could there be a problem with my motherboard? Or is there a better way to increase the performance of the sound? I wont even get started on running a 3D game engine while sounds are playing... If any more info is required just let me know.
    Thanks in advance,
    Haxel

    You can also check if
    - onboard sound/game/midi is disabled
    - there are IRQs/recources shared w/ sound card --> change Audigy into another PCI slot if there is sharing (see your motherboard manual for IRQ assiments)
    - SRC and HW acceleration are set to MAX
    - directX drivers are up to date
    - codecs are up to date
    - drivers are 'correctly' installed (re-install original drivers from CD by running the ctzapxx.exe -> do not uninstall anything but just install and tag the option asking yuor permission to write over current drivers)

  • IPhone 4 speaker crackle/distorted

    A couple of days ago my iPhone 4's built-in speaker got this real bad crackling/distorted sound, it honestly sounds like the speaker is blown.  The sound doesn't go away as I turn the volume down.  This happened over night, I noticed it when my alarm went off in the morning.  I do listen to music (usually Pandora) and watch YouTube videos, but it's never caused a problem in the year I've had it.  Has anyone had this problem or have any idea about what I should do?  I live about 2hrs from the nearest Apple Store so I can't just make a quick trip.

    UPDATE -- Woke up this morning (luckily before my alarm) and there is now no sound coming out of the speaker at all.  When I have my earbuds plugged in, the sound comes through fine.

  • Sound distortion after virtual sound installation on Satellite A80

    My sound distorts after i install virtual sound, it is driving me mad. I downloaded all the toshiba drivers.

    Hello
    Usually the sound should be much better using this tool. I can really not explain why this happen. Try to reinstall sound driver.
    The unit is delivered with WXP Home and I assume that you try to install your own OS, probably professional edition. All drivers and tools should work properly with WXP professional too. Please check the installation instructions that can be also downloaded from Toshiba download site (http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tools/Satellite/sa80/win-xp/install-xp-na.zip). All this stuff must be installed in particular order.
    Bye

  • DVD Sound choppy with onboard sound

    Okay, I have this problem with playing any dvd's through any version of power DVD.
    With the onboard sound chip with the latest realtec drivers, any dvd (especially high fidelity funny enough) plays with the sound really choppy and nasty. If I switch to my second soundblaster soundcard, the sound is really perfect. So i'm just wondering what is causing the A97 chip to output choppy sound when playing dvd's, wheras normal mp3's play fine
    Thanks
    Dan

    Cant think of much though have you enabled DMA on your DVD drive?
    Because I had somany problems with my onboard sound card I went and got my self a creative live sound card.

  • While on speakerphone, the external speaker became fuzzy with static.  The phone is updated, and I've turned it on and off several times.  It is still full of static.  Please help.

    While on speakerphone, the external speaker became full of static, and the phone cannot play music either to the external speaker.  When the headphones are plugged in, you can then listen to music and old voice mail messages.  It's updated with the current version.  I've turned it off and on several times, but the external speaker is still full of static.  It has not gotten wet at all.  Please help!

    try an other phone on the extern speaker , probably the speaker is not working as it should .
