Many
iPhone X and other iPhone8/7/6 users are facing issue after updating their iPhone to iOS 11.3 that the
iPhone has been having the some audio
playback issues that music stops and skips itself randomly. The issue was never
observed with earlier version of iOS and surely iOS11.3 have caused music/audio
playback glitch and skipping. One user reported the issue as :
“After
about 30 seconds, the audio cuts off in my iPhone 7, then comes back totally
garbled. This has happened with music and podcasts, and it just happened while
I was on the phone. 30 seconds into my call, the audio cut off, then came back
slow and stuttering, eventually resolving itself.”
It
not only one app that is affected but users are getting glitching with both
music and podcasts playback and even for phone calls audio. This is
strange that even on latest iPhone X and iPhone 8 when updated to iOS 11.3 and
can hardly play ANY music without skipping, pausing, jittering, etc. The users never
had these problems before the iOS11.3 update. It is obviously a bug in
the software update not a hardware fail as older model like iPhone 6s also
skips music audio with iOS 11.3
There are some possible fix and workaround to
fix iOS 11.3 music skips issue, as follows:
Fix 1: Keep phone
unlocked
Some
users report that audio issue in iPhone happens to them after iphone locks
itself. It seems to happen seconds after locking the iphone and unlocking
improves it. So if this is the case you can consider increasing auto lock time
periode if you are really looking to avoid this issue for some time duration.
But remember this may cost you battery.
Fix 2: Turn off
Personal Hotspot
This
seems to be working solution for many iPhone users as turning off the personal
hotspot fixes the music playback issue in iOS 11.3.
Fix 3: Check your
lightning cable
In
case the issue is caused for you while using only connector, tThe problem can
be the lightning>3.5mm jack adapter. Test with replacing it with a new one
the issue should disappear.
Fix 4: iTunes
restore
If
none of above fixed the issue you should try to complete restore your iPhonevia iTunes and the jittering and skipping glitch issue should not occur again
while listening to music or during a call.
