Yep... Hate to suggest something like that, but that's what I thought of when you mentioned the static problems. How long have you had it? If longer than a year, did you purchase the AppleCare? This type of thing is a pretty well-known defect, and Apple shouldn't have any trouble repairing it.Frank (Atlanta) said:Not trying to be alarmist, but if the above items don't work you might want to check if you have the "audio defect" - see ipodlounge.com. I checked my iPod photo & don't have this problem.
From your description - sounds like the prior posts will address the issue; however, if the problem persists, check-out ipodlounge.com (just search for "audio defect" - it's in the articles section).
Good luck,
