I am getting skips and gaps in the music when the speaker is streaming from my iPod, properly placed. Any idea why?

Bluetooth runs in the same frequency bands as many other wireless items, such as home phones and wifi hubs etc, it might be that you have wireless interference causing this problem. I also agree with ntscdan, it could be batteries or age of iPod. I am sure you done this anyway, but try moving the speaker and iPod to a different room, you could also try deleting the relationship and pairing again. If none of that works, try pairing a different item such as mobile phone or laptop and check the results.

It sounds like interference, as the previous commenter mentioned, or a defective product. If the problem is intermittent and unpredictable it could be microwave ovens (especially if you live in an apartment complex when you may not know when one is running). Microwave ovens will create interference as they operate in the same frequencies.

The only thing I can think of is the speakers battery is running low. Could also be a Bluetooth comparability issue if you have an older generation iPod.

I've had that problem myself but it seems sporadic. It can be frustrating . It almost seems it has a warm up period. After I play music for a while , it seems to stop doing this. I'm not the only one saying this . Some of the people who gave reviews on Amazon have this same problem . So it seems not to be a defect. If it is , there are quite a few defective speakers out there.

Dear Jon, Thanks so much for your inquiry. When streaming music, it often has more to do with which music streaming source you are using to determine what level of gapping that will occur. Normally the more the streaming service compresses their music, the more gapping can potentially occur. Please let me know if I can answer any additional questions for you!

our unit is flashing muting on also and i can't get any sound out of my ipod. i have had it working so i know the set up is correct, so i am assuming it is related to this muting on situation.

Has anyone had any problems with skipping in the files when playing back? I have used 8 gig nano and 30 gig ipod with Mikey (Blue) microphone. I have had problems with gaps (or skips) in the recording files and don't understand what is happening. Any comments or feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!

It has to be something with your computer or iTunes sound settings. I have the same speaker and they are the best computer speakers I have ever heard. these speakers are very balanced when you set them up right. The rock.

I just got the large one and let me just put this out there in case someone else has this problem. I paired this with my iphone and it wasn't playing music through it. So I "forgot" the speaker on my iphone. Turned the speaker off and back on and then held the "menu" button down to get it into pairing mode again and repaired the two and it started working fine. It would previously take calls and play them through the speaker, but not music. Not sure where the problem was, but it seems to be resolved.Sound quality and volume are pretty good for the money I paid. It feels like it's built sturdy and looks good. Haven't tried the aux out yet. I just got the large one and let me just put this out there in case someone else has this problem. I paired this with my iphone and it wasn't playing music through it.

That happened to me to when using my music feature on my iPhone. I switched to Iheart radio and it never skipped again. I think the skipping has to do more with my iPhone from the vibration then it does with the Pyle stereo. Try using Iheart radio and it will work fine!

Sometimes there is a fuse inside. Was the speaker clipping too much? That could cause to blow. If using the ipod feature on high volumes or the usb, it can become dislodged

Probably either the technology to lock on the Bluetooth stream so its in a better sync. If your Bluetooth signal fades, which it does or can, then the clarity and punch becomes distorted . or possibly with the components for the speaker.

Well, maxing the volume on the ipod and then adjusting your speaker settings (bass/treble) was what I was going to recommend. I had a problem with this with a prior aux cord (unfortunately, I could not get it to go away and had to replace it). I found if I rotated the wire, there was one spot that it was decreased, so I attributed it to a faulty cord. I have zero buzzing at all. Is the ipod newer or older? My older nano seemed especially troublesome with the aux cords while my newer ones are a-okay. If that is the issue, then there may not be a good solution. Good luck.

Actually now that somebody else mentioned this. I have once or twice in the past. Just a bit. I thought it's my music, the song that was playing. I tried to remove whatever that were close to the speaker and eventually moved the speakers a bit. I decided to slip the song and called it a day.

I have an android, and all I can do is skip songs. It could be different for an apple product

In my case, if i am listening music via usb, when a call is received, the music mutes. I think will be the same with the ipod.

Try turning the receiver off before you remove the iPod, and leaving it off before you plug it back in. This might resolve the problem.

You need a speaker with a traditional iPod dock. That's the only way the cool stream interacts with the speakers
