Thanks for your quick response and for thinking along.
Good to hear that playback functionality hasn't been changed in a long time — that helps narrow down the possible causes step by step.
I'll definitely try a different aux cable as you suggested. It's quite possible that something is going wrong in the signal chain between the iPad and the amplifier. Could issues like accelerated playback, skipping audio, and distortion typically point to a fault in that cable or connection? Or could it also be related to the mini-jack port on the iPad itself?
To rule things out, I'll take the following steps:
- Use a different aux cable between the iPad and the amplifier
- Try a different input channel on the amplifier
- Test with a different iPad
- Inspect the iPad's mini-jack port for dust or looseness
Another thing I was wondering:
Could it be that the iPad's internal audio chip isn't functioning properly? If it overheats — for example, due to prolonged use in a warm stadium environment — could that potentially lead to distortion, accelerated playback, or other playback issues?
I'm trying to figure out what's different compared to last year, and the only thing I can think of is that it's been quite warm over the past month — both here and in the stadium. That might be a factor too.
Thanks again for your help.
