iPad USB-C to Headphone Jack Adapter Clicking Noise

[F27]

Just bought Apple’s official adaptor and using it on an iPad Air 5.

When no audio is playing I get this irritating soft static click sound every 1-2 seconds. Does it on headphones with or without inline mic/controls, tried like 5 different ones.

I think it’s a bug in the driver the iPad needs to load to activate the adapter. Doesn’t click when audio is actually playing. Has anyone else experienced this or have a solution?

Yes, with IPad Pro 11 M1 and usb-c to 3.5 audio adapter. But for me it is more of a 15-30s interval. When a sound is (eg. keyboard click) is played and then in the silence after - about 20s - I hear this light soft static click which repeats in irregular intervals 15s-60s.
When I play even audio in an inaudible very low volume (and even at 0% volume) there is no soft static click sound ever.

Thanks for the reply. I still have the issue and yes the interval does vary, the clicks are sometimes fast and sometimes slow. Playing any audio even on mute stops the clicking.

I’m sure this must be on happening on a lot of iPad’s and maybe people can’t hear it because of lack of hearing sensitivity. I wish Apple would sort it as it’s the official adapter, or maybe don’t remove the headphone jack in the first place!

Been using the Apple and third party adapters since they were first needed.
iPhones and iPads have had no problems.

In the meantime I have another usb-c to 3.5 audio adapter and a lightning to 3.5 audio adapter, none of them have the clicking interval noise - so the first one has a sort of malfunction or was just a bad batch.
