GS3 - Audio Crackles/Pops/Clicks

[jcrim13]

So I'm an early adopter... got my GS3 on preorder... Since day 1 I've had audio playback problems... not on calls... but on MP3 files, streaming radio etc... A constant addition of crackles, pops, clicks throughout playback...

Searching online finds that I'm not alone in this predicament, and speculation around the cause varies... The XDA developer threads have a long narrative around power management issues and updating the kernel..

I'm curious if other stock Verizon GS3 owners have the same problem?

I havn't tried yet, but I'll let you know when I try pandora later.

My day one S3 had same issue. I went to Verizon store, and the manager replaced with a new one. So far no more audio playback issue.

I may go the replacement route.. thanks
