iOs 4.1 sound quality issue using USB adapter

Have you tried hooking it up via USB? Static with USB?

 

Yep! Same thing here! Audio problems started JUST LAST NIGHT after an iPod Automatic Update yesterday afternoon!

At first I thought it was my iPod Touch (3rd generation), but after using the iPod in other places and with my earphones I quickly realized that the Prius was the ONLY place I was having a sound quality issue. Today I wiped my iPod back to factory settings in the hopes that a previous software version gets re-installed. I'm interested to read what others have done, and more importantly, if there is a fix -- other than wiping the unit altogether of course.

P.S. I have gone into Settings/Preferences and unchecked the box that allows for "Automatic Software Updates".

 

Yeah, same here, my BT was off when this was happening ...

 

See my previous post (#18 on page 2)...the Apple tech told me that there is no way to re-install a older software version. Restoring the whole Itouch does NOT work.

 

there most likely is an unauthorized way to go back on the software, but not from apple or itunes. it probably requires a jailbreak and then getting the older software from a third party site.

luckily the aux jack was not affected with the update. my tunes sound good.

 

Since BT Audio streaming is an option, i rather use BT Audio streaming because i can skip songs with steering wheel controls...without having to fiddle with my Itouch. Still, i prefer USB, but with the static, BT Audio sounds better.

 

USB is my preference -- I like the added information on the NAV display, but hey, in a pinch the BT is fine.

 

So, did Apple fix this yet?

 

Everything was working fine until I went to a os 3.1.4 to 4.1 now i'm getting the same problem and I worked a whole week with apple tec and said wait for the 4.5 up grade in 6 months.

 

Not knowing other people were having this problem.
Last week I up graded my IPOD T from OS 3.1.3 to 4.1. Then I starting the skips when using the USB connector. I reported to Apple they send me a new IPOD with the 3.1.3 OS and that worked fine. Apple knows about the problem and said they will have a fix in six months (good Luck).

 

First, I find it hard to believe that Apple sent you a new one, and secondly I find it even HARDER to believe that Apple will not have a fix for 6 months? Where do you get this stuff from?

 

By setting the IPOD to factory setting It clears everything of the IPOD and keeps the latest ios update in this case IOS 4.1

 

Apple did not send me a new one I had to go to a Apple store and exchanged the one I had (which I had for only 3 weeks) to a new one. Then when I brought it home the tec said go ahead and up grade the new one from 3.1.3 to 4.1 and i got the same problem again. That one I overnight shipped bak to Apple and they did a diagnostic test and said nothing was wrong with it. and sent it back.
The technician said most likely the next IOS up date will be in 6 months he was not talking about a fix. Supposedly they were not aware of this problem. So i sent them a link from this forum and the Prius forum discussing this problem. WHAT MORE CAN WE DO???

 

So, did Apple fix this yet?

 

ughh! Are we getting angry at Apple yet?

Apple is posting an update today. Maybe this iOS4.2 will fix the USB audio issue(s) we have all experienced .... Should we all hold our collective breaths?
