Popping sound on left side of headphones on new 2020 iPad Pro...
Hi,
I recently purchased a new 2020 iPad Pro 12.9” wi-fi only. (512gb’s/iPad OS13.4).
When using it for listening to music, (Apple Music), or You Tube videos I found when I stopped the playing I heard quite a medium/low-frequency ‘pop’ from the left channel of my headphones. (Bose QC3’s & QC15’s). I hear the pop using either model of headphones.
It isn't loud but very audible.
If I leave the sound off for a while the popping continues once every 20/30 seconds or so.
The popping sound cannot be heard through the built in speakers, maybe because they cannot reproduce the frequency?
I need to use the Apple USB-c to 3.5mm adapter for these headphones.
On occasions, despite the headphones being plugged in with the adapter, sound was coming through the iPad speakers and headphones at the same time!?
I took the iPad to my local iCare centre and after testing it for a couple of hours they decided the iPad was faulty so I received a new iPad.
(When iCare checked the first iPad out they upgraded to iPad OS13.5 but that introduced a constant ‘restarting’ issue so when I got the replacement iPad I kept it on iPad OS13.4).
Once the second iPad was set up the same popping sound was happening.
With that in mind, my attention turned to the Apple USB-c to 3.5mm adapter so I replaced that... The popping still happens!
I cant go back to the Apple store again as it surely cant be another faulty iPad, can it?
Does anyone have an ideas what could be the problem?
Regards
iPad Pro 12.9-inch, 3rd Gen, Wi-Fi
