S3 Audio Problems

[rosemore]

Has anyone experience a "static" or "crackle" and occasional "pops" when playing back audio files on the new S3? It is particularly pronounced on BT with either my S9 Stereo headset or in my Lexus ES350. Files are mp3 or AAC. But it is also present in the attached earphones.

It seems like it may be a codec problem although I can't rule out a hardware or conflicting software issue. It is noticed with Audible, Double-twist, and the resident music players.

Any advice is appreciated.

I have the same issue. I have 2 AT&T Galaxy S3s, 1 works fine, the other has the crackling noise. Youtube and Pandora works fine. But mp3 off of Google Play or the microSD gave crackling on 1 phone but not the other.

I contacted Samsung online, went through a bunch of troubleshooting but nothing worked, in the end he said to return it to the vendor. I called AT&T and they said because it hasn't been a month yet I have to go back to the place I purchased the phone.

Hope this helps
