Tried using 2 different ear phones today, both during calls and listening to music. The left ear piece seems to crackle, even after adjusting the volume. Hardware issue possibly? Software?

Nobody else having problem with headphone/ear bud crackling sounds?

This happens with beats audio turned on and with it turned off. Just the left ear, too.

I plugged in my phone in my car with an aux cable and I heard this annoying crackling noise. If I lowered the fall down, it would disappear. This is definitely a hardware issue on HTC's part

Annoying and scary. Everything else with the phone is fine (except a slight backlight issue with the home button). I use headphones a lot, so the crackling sound is unacceptable. Unfortunately I am afraid to swap it for a new one because I don't want the problem swapped for a different one.

I really don't want soft touch coating staining/wearing off, rebooting issues, screen lifts, light leaks, etc...none of which I have had with this device (10 days and counting). Ugh. I guess I will have to bite the bullet and get this replaced before the 14 day window runs out.

I have the same problem, sound goes off suddenly and i have to reboot. Also crackling noise, worked fine first week but today multiple times... Htc 8s, hope they fix this soon!

Itis getting worse, out of 10 times the volume stops working 8 and i have to restart phone. If it doesn't get a fix i will have to leave my 8s since this is not okay....
