Sound quality sucks via 3.5mm????

[Supermanwoot]

So i just got my phone on friday, and today on my way to work i turn on pandora as i always did on my blackberry. It was "unlistenable" the sound quality was so bad. I had to switch to music on my sd card which was better but still had crackles like a heart failure patient's lungs.

Then i try my friends original droid and SAME THING! this never happened with my blackberry and it seems specific to android. Im not sure what to do, i'll try a different cable but thats about all i can do.

Im 99% sure im returning this phone unless someone knows a fix for this.

Could it be your headphones? It is strange for the exact same thing to be happening with two different phones.

yet it doesnt happen with my blackberry.

It definitely isnt my "headphones" because they are my pioneer sound system (best option I never thought I needed) in my car that has been incredible for playing music off my blackberry to and from work for almost 2 years.

Other people have reported problems with bad sound from the headphones, however I have zero problems from mine when listening to music via aux port in my car or headphones. Mine pumps out Pandora and mp3's perfectly, and trust me, I'd be the first one to ***** if I had problems with music playback (I live in my car 30 hours a week.)

If you're having problems exchange it.

What the sound like on the mp3s on the phone? If its only the Pandora app playing bad, I would try to re install the app..
So if you haven't already done this, check the sound quality on the other apps like mp3 player, youtube etc.. If they suck as well, take it back, it's defective.

I noticed when I got my Pro that the music files on my SD card would also crackle when using the Stock music app. I used it a whole 2 minutes before I moved onto others and have not used the stock app since. I recommend any of the following: PowerAmp, Winamp, and MortPlayer. None of those produce the crackling sound......
