Problems playing music in my car...

[Popocub]

I've owned my Droid for about a month now and I've played music from it in my car using an AUX cable since day one with zero problems. Last night I rooted and installed the SmokedGlass ROM and AdamZ Kernel (not saying this has anything to do with it, just giving some info.)

Today, when I plugged my Droid in and hit play, I noticed something was off. My front left speaker sounded a little scratchy. Almost like it was busted. Worried, I unplugged my Droid and tried the regular FM .. sounded fine. My friend plugged his iPod in, and it also played perfectly fine.

I once again tried my Droid, and it played alright for about half a song before the speaker started acting up again (especially when the bass would hit harder.) Not sure what my be causing my Droid to do this and was wondering if anyone could provide some advice.

Thankis!

are you using the stock music player, or a different one now with the new rom?

The ROM loaded the 2.1 player. Thought that was the problem so I re-installed the ROM with the stock music player and the problem still persisted.

Maybe try a different cord? Move the connection around inside the jack to see if the sounds gets better/worse. Has to be something mechanical/physical if it plays fine for a bit then goes to hell ..

But why would other devices using the same cord play fine?

I would go back to stock and try it again. It *may* be a bug in the ROM you loaded. Otherwise you may have a bad jack in your droid. If so, you will need to go back to stock to return it any way.

I'll try that tomorrow .. hope it isn't the jack -.-

If it is, you should be able to get a new Droid under warrenty. You did buy it directly from Verizon, Best Buy, or the such?
